Contact Form Redirect to seperate Sites

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

So I have a contact form on my website that I got from some tutorial site (I think, it's been a while). And it works well. You enter your Name, Email, Subject, and Message. When you send, it'll send to my email. After it sends the page is redirected to my homepage.

Contact Page

http://www.marklemmons.com/contact.html

It's got a process.php that has the actual 'contact email server, etc' code in it, but I don't know php at all, that's why I'm here. (Will post process.php code at end)

!!!!!

So here's my problem. I just set up a mobile site with a contact page as well. And I want this same form on there so you can email me from your mobile device

Mobile Contact Page

http://mobile.marklemmons.com/contact.html

So Now I have two forms, and they both work. (surprisingly...) But I want it to redirect you back to the mobile page if you sent the form From the mobile page. And it'll send you back to the regular page if you sent the form From the regular page. Right now it sends you back to the regular page no matter what. I'm assuming there's some kind of "if from mobile site, then go back to mobile site. else if from regular site, go back to regular site" but I'm not quite sure how to do it.

<?
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$send = $_POST['Send'];

if ($send == "Yes") {

//Mail the comment

/* Specify your SMTP Server, Port and Valid From Address */
ini_set("SMTP","mail.marklemmons.com");
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
ini_set("sendmail_from", "mark@marklemmons.com");

//Specify where you want them email to be sent
$to = 'mark@marklemmons.com';
$message = "Name: ".$name."\n Email: ".$email."\n Subject:".$subject."\n Message: ".$message;
$headers = 'From: '.$email. "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$email. "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

header("Location: http://www.marklemmons.com/");
}
else {

echo "you don't need to access this page directly";

}
?>

Surely on the new form you change:


header("Location: http://www.marklemmons.com/");

to


header("Location: http://mobile.marklemmons.com/");

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

But what if I'm using the same form?

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

I guess having a 2nd process.php file works (just tried it) but Is there a way to have it redirect specifically in one?

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

you could detect the host and then send based on that.

the host would be mobile.site.com

for the mobile one.

to detect the host do

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

Thanks. Nooow how exactly would I implement this into my code?

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == http://usersite.com)

{

//code here

header("Location:wherever")

}

if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == http://mobile.usersite.com)

{

//code here

header("Location:wherever")

}

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

Thanks for helping. New Code with the changes at the end...

Except I get an error instead of a redirect to my page. "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/markl7/public_html/process.php on line 26"

Line 26 is "if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == http://www.marklemmons.com)"

<?
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$send = $_POST['Send'];

if ($send == "Yes") {

//Mail the comment

/* Specify your SMTP Server, Port and Valid From Address */
ini_set("SMTP","mail.marklemmons.com");
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
ini_set("sendmail_from", "mark@marklemmons.com");

//Specify where you want them email to be sent
$to = 'mark@marklemmons.com';
$message = "Name: ".$name."\n Email: ".$email."\n Subject:".$subject."\n Message: ".$message;
$headers = 'From: '.$email. "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$email. "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == http://www.marklemmons.com)
{
//code here
header("Location: http://www.marklemmomns.com")
}
if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == http://mobile.marklemmons.com)
{
//code here
header("Location: http://mobile.marklemmons.com")
}
else {

echo "you don't need to access this page directly";

}
?>

Check the lines above and below line 26 for any colons. Sometimes I accidently type a colon instead of a semicolon at the end of a line.

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

put a ; at the end of the header

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

Just added the ; at the end of the header, still nothing. same error.

The only colon is in "http://" on line 26. 25 is empty and 27 is "{"

does my site link need to be in ' or " on line 26 and 31?

if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == http://www.marklemmons.com)

if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == http://mobile.marklemmons.com)

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

yes the link should be in "site link"

soz should of said

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

Here's the updated code. (see bottom) With it like this, I get another error...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/markl7/public_html/process.php on line 36

So I took out the code at the end as I'm not really sure what it's for. Was in the tutorial. Do I need it? What's it do?

else {

echo "you don't need to access this page directly";

}

and then I got

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/markl7/public_html/process.php on line 37

I did however get it to somewhat work. I left an extra "}" at the end before ?> and it went through. except on both forms (regular and mobile) it goes back to the mobile page.

<?
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$send = $_POST['Send'];

if ($send == "Yes") {

//Mail the comment

/* Specify your SMTP Server, Port and Valid From Address */
ini_set("SMTP","mail.marklemmons.com");
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
ini_set("sendmail_from", "mark@marklemmons.com");

//Specify where you want them email to be sent
$to = 'mark@marklemmons.com';
$message = "Name: ".$name."\n Email: ".$email."\n Subject:".$subject."\n Message: ".$message;
$headers = 'From: '.$email. "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$email. "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "http://www.marklemmons.com");
{
//code here
header("Location: http://www.marklemmomns.com");
}
if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "http://mobile.marklemmons.com");
{
//code here
header("Location: http://mobile.marklemmons.com");
}
else {

echo "you don't need to access this page directly";

}
?>

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

echo out the host and see what it says on each one

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

?

Total php noob here, so I have no idea how to do that. Haha

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

like this?

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; == "http://www.marklemmons.com");
{
//code here
header("Location: http://www.marklemmomns.com");
}
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; == "http://mobile.marklemmons.com");
{
//code here
header("Location: http://mobile.marklemmons.com");
}
else {

echo "you don't need to access this page directly";

}

That gives me

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_EQUAL in /home/markl7/public_html/process.php on line 28"

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

no sorry like this

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

this will tell you what the host is, then we will go from there

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

Where do I put that?

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

any where in the php, then run the php and tell me what it says

cow1787 · June 24, 2008

Placed it at the top.Uploaded it, then went to it

And again I got

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/markl7/public_html/process.php on line 40

<?
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$send = $_POST['Send'];

if ($send == "Yes") {

//Mail the comment

/* Specify your SMTP Server, Port and Valid From Address */
ini_set("SMTP","mail.marklemmons.com");
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
ini_set("sendmail_from", "mark@marklemmons.com");

//Specify where you want them email to be sent
$to = 'mark@marklemmons.com';
$message = "Name: ".$name."\n Email: ".$email."\n Subject:".$subject."\n Message: ".$message;
$headers = 'From: '.$email. "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$email. "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);



if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "http://www.marklemmons.com");
{
//code here
header("Location: http://www.marklemmomns.com");
}
if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "http://mobile.marklemmons.com");
{
//code here
header("Location: http://mobile.marklemmons.com");
}
else {

echo "you don't need to access this page directly";

}
?>

DeanWhitehouse · June 24, 2008

cow1787 · June 24, 2008
