Hi all,

I'm new to PHP and am busy doing an assignment for school. I have a form processing php confirmation page, as well as a way to send the information to the end user. What I need to do is also send a message back to myself within the PHP script or another way, if that's not possible.

 

This is what I have so far. It shows a confirmation page with the variable information correctly and sends an email to the end user. However, I've also got to send it to myself through email but I'm not sure how to do this within the script itself. Is this possible.

 

Also, if anybody knows how to write form data to a text file, that information would be greatly appreciated as well.

 

Here's my PHP code so far.

<?php

/*

*/

$my_email = $_POST['email'];

/*


*/

$continue = "http://w3.cnm.edu/~ywyskochil/IT499/";

/*



You do not need to make any changes below this line.

*/

$errors = array();

// Remove $_COOKIE elements from $_REQUEST.

if(count($_COOKIE)){foreach(array_keys($_COOKIE) as $value){unset($_REQUEST[$value]);}}

// Validate email field.

if(isset($_REQUEST['email']) && !empty($_REQUEST['email']))
{

$_REQUEST['email'] = trim($_REQUEST['email']);

if(substr_count($_REQUEST['email'],"@") != 1 || stristr($_REQUEST['email']," ")){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{$exploded_email = explode("@",$_REQUEST['email']);if(empty($exploded_email[0]) || strlen($exploded_email[0]) > 64 || empty($exploded_email[1])){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{if(substr_count($exploded_email[1],".") == 0){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{$exploded_domain = explode(".",$exploded_email[1]);if(in_array("",$exploded_domain)){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{foreach($exploded_domain as $value){if(strlen($value) > 63 || !preg_match('/^[a-z0-9-]+$/i',$value)){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid"; break;}}}}}}

}

// Check referrer is from same site.

if(!(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))){$errors[] = "You must enable referrer logging to use the form";}

// Check for a blank form.

{

}

}

recursive_array_check_blank($_REQUEST);

if(!$set){$errors[] = "You cannot send a blank form";}

unset($set);

// Display any errors and exit if errors exist.

if(count($errors)){foreach($errors as $value){print "$value<br>";} exit;}

if(!defined("PHP_EOL")){define("PHP_EOL", strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3) == "WIN") ? "\r\n" : "\n");}

$message = build_message($_REQUEST);

In the future, please use php or code tags around your script, if you want anybody to take you seriously.

 

You said you got it working to send to one person; sending to two people is just a matter of adding a comma after the first email address and adding another email address, in your $my_email variable.

 

As to your second question: We don't do people's homework for them.

It sounds easy enough in theory to simple add a comma, but when I do, I'm not getting any form action to happen, so obviously that's not the solution...I know I've tried.

 

Didn't you mom ever teach you that if you couldn't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I came to you for help, not so you could be an elitist jerk. Don't respond again. I don't need the sarcasm. I get enough of that from my own kids.

 

Like I said, I'm not a PHP person, I've done more web design not programming. All I was hoping for was a simple link or somewhere I could go where they could explain the proper way to design something like this. I'm a hard worker, a high-honor student, who's used to working for what I've got.

I wasn't being an elitist jerk. You were asking for help on your homework. I was simply stating the rules. I don't feel there was any sarcasm at all involved in my post.  I'm sorry you took it that way.  I guess you just enjoy shooting the messenger.

That whole comma thing doesn't really have anything to do with your form; I think you misunderstood.

 

// example
$to = "[email protected], [email protected]"; // comma separated email addresses here
$subject = "blahblahblah";
$message = "lots of more blah";
mail($to,$subject,$message);

 

...or if that isn't the issue, then maybe I'm not understanding you.
