Hi Everyone. I am a little unsure if i am on the right thread so here goes!!
I am new to PHP but have good knowledge of HTML. I have put together a form and am using some PHP from a .NET magazine article to validate the form etc. My is sending the email. Once i click send the form updates with a successful message but the email never arrives. I am told its because the server needs authentication. I am using 123 reg for my hosting ad have the details i need but evertime i try to put the code in i get an error from the server. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me on getting this to work.
The code is below.... Feel free to contact me if you need more information. I look forward to hearing from you!! (The website is thiconstruction.co.uk
<?php
// Configure our email variables
$email_to = '
[email protected]';
$email_subject = 'THI Form submission';
// Configure our required fields
$required_fields = array('fullname','email','comment');
// What are our error messages?
$error_messages = array(
'fullname' => 'Please enter your Name to continue.',
'email' => 'Please enter a valid Email Address to continue.',
'comment' => 'Please enter your Comment to continue.'
);
// Set our default form status
$form_complete = FALSE;
// Prepare our validation array
$validation = array();
// Let's check that the form was submitted
if(!empty($_POST)) {
// Sanitise our POST array
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) $_POST[$key] = remove_email_injection(trim($value));
// Loop through our requirements and make sure they are acceptable
foreach($required_fields as $field) {
// Firstly, has the field been submitted?
if(!array_key_exists($field, $_POST)) array_push($validation, $field);
// Secondly, is there actually any data in the field?
if($_POST[$field] == '') array_push($validation, $field);
// Lastly, let's validate the submitted email address
if($field == 'email') if(!validate_email_address($_POST[$field])) array_push($validation, $field);
}
// Now we want to check the outcome of our basic validation
if(count($validation) == 0) {
// Prepare our content string
$email_content = 'New Website Comment: ' . "\n\n";
// Let's build our simple email content
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
if($key != 'submit') $email_content .= $key . ': ' . $value . "\n";

// The validation passed, so send the email

$smtp = Mail::factory("smtp",
