Very very new to PHP and need to mail a HTML Form . . .

[chapman8790]

Hi guys,

 

I have built a html form which work fine and pointed it at a php script. Together they seem to work fine and I receive the email as expected. The problem is when I open the email the results of the form are replaced by:

 

Results from form:

 

 

 

 

Spam Filtered (ID:2262223)

 

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and how to get round it?

 

Thanks

It sounds like you ISP is blocking the content hence the SPAM FILTERED. Call them up.

Sorry to be simple but . . .

 

The email the php is sending from is a googlemail account, the site is hosted on a free hosting company (not my own server at the moment unfortunately), will this affect it?

Are you sending the mail to a free mail account (i.e. gmail, hotmail) or are you sending it to your ISP account? If the latter then the ISP is seeing your e-mail as spam, it could be the content or where it is coming from (your gmail).

 

Post the code anyways....

FormToEmail DESCRIPTION

 

FormToEmail is a contact-form processing script written in PHP. It allows you to place a form on your website which your visitors can fill out and send

to you.  The contents of the form are sent to the email address (or addresses) which you specify below.  The form allows your visitors to enter their

name, email address and comments.  The script will not allow a blank form to be sent.

 

Your visitors (and nasty spambots!) cannot see your email address.  The script cannot be hijacked by spammers.

 

When the form is sent, your visitor will get a confirmation of this on the screen, and will be given a link to continue to your homepage, or other

page if you specify it.

 

Should you need the facility, you can add additional fields to your form, which this script will also process without making any additional changes

to the script.  You can also use it to process other forms.  The script will handle the "POST" or "GET" methods.  It will also handle multiple select

inputs and multiple check box inputs.  If using these, you must name the field as an array using square brackets, like so: <select name="fruit[]" multiple>.

The same goes for check boxes if you are using more than one with the same name, like so: <input type="checkbox" name="fruit[]" value="apple">Apple

<input type="checkbox" name="fruit[]" value="orange">Orange<input type="checkbox" name="fruit[]" value="banana">Banana

 

** PLEASE NOTE **  If you are using the script to process your own forms (or older FormToEmail forms) you must ensure that the email field is named

correctly in your form, thus: <input type="text" name="email" etc>.  Note the lower case "email".  If you don't do this, you won't be able to see who

the email is from and the script won't be able to check the validity of the email.  If you are using the form code below, you don't need to check for this.

 

This is a PHP script.  In order for it to run, you must have PHP (version 4.1.0 or later) on your webhosting account, and have the PHP mail() function

enabled and working.  If you are not sure about this, please ask your webhost about it.

 

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

 

Step 1: Put the form on your webpage

Step 2: Enter your email address and (optional) continue link below

Step 3: Upload the files to your webspace

 

Step 1:

 

To put the form on your webpage, copy the code below as it is, and paste it into your webpage:

 

<form action="FormToEmail.php" method="post">

<table border="0" bgcolor="#ececec" cellspacing="5">

<tr><td>Name</td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="name"></td></tr>

<tr><td>Email address</td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="email"></td></tr>

<tr><td valign="top">Comments</td><td><textarea name="comments" rows="6" cols="30"></textarea></td></tr>

<tr><td> </td><td><input type="submit" value="Send"><font face="arial" size="1">  <a href="http://FormToEmail.com">Form Mail</a> by FormToEmail.com</font></td></tr>

</table>

</form>

 

Step 2:

 

Enter your email address.

 

Enter the email address below to send the contents of the form to.  You can enter more than one email address separated by commas, like so: $my_email = "[email protected]"; or $my_email = "[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]";

 

*/

 

$my_email = "[email protected]";

 

/*

 

Enter the continue link to offer the user after the form is sent.  If you do not change this, your visitor will be given a continue link to your homepage.

 

If you do change it, remove the "/" symbol below and replace with the name of the page to link to, eg: "mypage.htm" or "http://www.elsewhere.com/page.htm"

 

*/

 

$continue = "http://www.lbcommissions.co.cc";

 

/*

 

Step 3:

 

Save this file (FormToEmail.php) and upload it together with your webpage containing the form to your webspace.  IMPORTANT - The file name is case sensitive!  You must save it exactly as it is named above!

 

THAT'S IT, FINISHED!

 

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

Used as sample available from FormToEmail so pretty confident all the code is correct. If it is googlemail why isnt the email being put in my spam folder instead of the content being deleted? I will try and send to some other accounts and see if it gets through or not,

 

Thanks

It shouldnt be something in the code you right... Dont know otherwise sorry... Keep at it, and good luck! Let us know if it does it to other accounts?
