formmail.php Mystery

pandecta · September 10, 2008

Hello PHP people.

I'm new to PHP, trying to build a form. It's here: www.biz-logo.com/test-order-page.shtml

When I submit the form the email gets sent, but there's no data in the fields. The email looks like:

Name:

Email:

Company:

etc.

The weird thing is if I click back and submit the form again, the data is sent successfully and the form looks like:

Name: Me

Email: myemail@domain.com

Company: Biz-Logo

etc.

??? ??? ???

Here's the formmail code:

<?php
  $url=addslashes($_POST['url']);
  $name=addslashes($_POST['name']);
  $email=addslashes($_POST['email']);
  $company=addslashes($_POST['company']);
  $tagline=addslashes($_POST['tagline']);
  $colorsfonts=addslashes($_POST['colorsfonts']);
  $image=addslashes($_POST['image']);
  $other=addslashes($_POST['other']);

  $toemail = "email@domain.com";
  $subject = "biz-logo-form TEST 5";

  $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
            ."From: \"".$name."\" <".$email.">\n"
            ."Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

  $body = "URL: ".$url."<br>\n"
            ."Name: ".$name."<br>\n"
            ."Email: ".$email."<br>\n"
		."Company: ".$company."<br>\n"
		."Tag Line: ".$tagline."<br>\n"
		."Colors, Fonts: ".$colorsfonts."<br>\n"
		."Image: ".$image."<br>\n"
            ."Comments:<br>\n"
            .$other;

    mail($toemail, $subject, $body, $headers);
header("Location: http://www.biz-logo.com/");

?>

Probably not very slick. Go easy. I'm new!

Thanks!

Hi,

I`m also new to PHP... Here is an example I found somewhere. I managed to change/alter some fields to my spesific needs:

/** Our 1st bit of code will be a file named conf.inc.php.

$db_select = mysql_select_db ($db_database); // Selects the database.

function form($data) { // Prevents SQL Injection

global $db_connect;

$data = ereg_replace("[\'\")(;|`,<>]", "", $data);

$data = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($data), $db_connect);

return stripslashes($data);

}

?>

/** Breakdown:

This is 6 files in total. Hope it helps

Thanks Mr J, but that's waaaay too complicated.

I need something like the one I have or simpler - no db connections and stuff. It would be great if someone can have a look at that code of mine and tell me why it sends the data on the second try but not the first.

BlueSkyIS · September 10, 2008

the problem is that you don't check to see if the form was submitted, so the (empty) data will be sent every time the page loads. wrap your code up in an IF:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "post") {
      // send the email and say 'thanks'
} else {
      // show the form
}

pandecta · September 11, 2008

Hmmm. BlueSkyIS that looks like the solution, but I'm having trouble with the syntax.

Here's what I did:

<?php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "post") {
  
  $url=addslashes($_POST['url']);
  $name=addslashes($_POST['name']);
  $email=addslashes($_POST['email']);
  $company=addslashes($_POST['company']);
  $tagline=addslashes($_POST['tagline']);
  $colorsfonts=addslashes($_POST['colorsfonts']);
  $image=addslashes($_POST['image']);
  $other=addslashes($_POST['other']);

  $toemail = "email@domain.com";
  $subject = "biz-logo-form TEST 7";
  $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
            ."From: \"".$name."\" <".$email.">\n"
            ."Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

  $body = "URL: ".$url."<br>\n"
            ."Name: ".$name."<br>\n"
            ."Email: ".$email."<br>\n"
    ."Company: ".$company."<br>\n"
    ."Tag Line: ".$tagline."<br>\n"
    ."Colors, Fonts: ".$colorsfonts."<br>\n"
    ."Image: ".$image."<br>\n"
            ."Comments:<br>\n"
            .$other;

    mail($toemail, $subject, $body, $headers);
header("Location: http://www.biz-logo.com/");
}

else {
    header("Location: http://www.biz-logo.com/test-order-page.shtml");
}
?>

When I submit the form, the form loads again and no email is sent - which is weird - I though it would be the other way round. So I swapped the bit under "if" with the bit under "else" and then the email gets sent, but it's still blank like before. :-\

kenrbnsn · September 11, 2008

While debugging this, replace the "header()" functions with an echo saying you've gotten to that point.

You don't need addslashes() if you're sending email. You probably want to use htmlentities() to avoid sending email that contains malicious content.

<?php

if (strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) == "post") { // will work if REQUEST_METHOD is POST or post
  
  $url=htmlentities($_POST['url']);
  $company=htmlentities($_POST['company']);
  $tagline=htmlentities($_POST['tagline']);
  $colorsfonts=htmlentities($_POST['colorsfonts']);
  $image=htmlentities($_POST['image']);
  $other=htmlentities($_POST['other']);

  $toemail = "email@domain.com";
  $subject = "biz-logo-form TEST 7";
  $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
            ."From: \"".$_POST['name']."\" <".$_POST['email'].">\n"
            ."Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

  $body = "URL: ".$url."<br>\n"
            ."Name: ".htmlentities($_POST['name'])."<br>\n"
            ."Email: ".htmlentities($_POST['email'])."<br>\n"
    ."Company: ".$company."<br>\n"
    ."Tag Line: ".$tagline."<br>\n"
    ."Colors, Fonts: ".$colorsfonts."<br>\n"
    ."Image: ".$image."<br>\n"
            ."Comments:<br>\n"
            .$other;

    mail($toemail, $subject, $body, $headers);
    echo 'Would have sent the following email<br><pre>' . $body . '</pre>';
//	header("Location: http://www.biz-logo.com/");
}

else {
    echo 'Not sending any email';
//    header("Location: http://www.biz-logo.com/test-order-page.shtml");
}
?>

Ken, many thanks for the response.

When I use your code exactly as is and submit the form I get the response "Not sending any email" - so in my very limited understanding of PHP that means the "if" part returns false and it's executing the "else" part instead. Right?

FYI, the form tag looks like this:

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

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I have the following right below the form tag:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write('<input');
document.write(' type="hidden"');
document.write(' name="url"');
document.write(' value="' + document.URL + '">');
//-->
</script>

We need that bit in there so we know which page the form comes from. Could that be the culprit?

Anything else that I'm missing?

kenrbnsn · September 11, 2008

Can you post the source for your form?

Also at the top of the formmail.php script, put

<?php
echo '$_SERVER: <pre>' . print_r($_SERVER,true) . '</pre>';
if (!empty($_POST)) echo '$_POST: <pre>' . print_r($_POST,true) . '</pre>';
?>

and post what shows.

Many thanks for the response.

I've added the code. Here's the complete formmail.php:

<?php

echo '$_SERVER: <pre>' . print_r($_SERVER,true) . '</pre>';
if (!empty($_POST)) echo '$_POST: <pre>' . print_r($_POST,true) . '</pre>';

if (strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) == "post") { // will work if REQUEST_METHOD is POST or post
  
  $url=htmlentities($_POST['url']);
  $company=htmlentities($_POST['company']);
  $tagline=htmlentities($_POST['tagline']);
  $colorsfonts=htmlentities($_POST['colorsfonts']);
  $image=htmlentities($_POST['image']);
  $other=htmlentities($_POST['other']);

  $toemail = "email@domain.com";
  $subject = "biz-logo-form TEST 7";
  $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
            ."From: \"".$_POST['name']."\" <".$_POST['email'].">\n"
            ."Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

  $body = "URL: ".$url."<br>\n"
            ."Name: ".htmlentities($_POST['name'])."<br>\n"
            ."Email: ".htmlentities($_POST['email'])."<br>\n"
    ."Company: ".$company."<br>\n"
    ."Tag Line: ".$tagline."<br>\n"
    ."Colors, Fonts: ".$colorsfonts."<br>\n"
    ."Image: ".$image."<br>\n"
            ."Comments:<br>\n"
            .$other;

    mail($toemail, $subject, $body, $headers);
    echo 'Would have sent the following email<br><pre>' . $body . '</pre>';
//	header("Location: http://www.biz-logo.com/");
}

else {
    echo 'Not sending any email';
//    header("Location: http://www.biz-logo.com/test-order-page.shtml");
}
?>

And here's the form code:

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



<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write('<input');
document.write(' type="hidden"');
document.write(' name="url"');

When I submit the form it returns a whole lot of info about the server - but I assume that's for debugging??? :-\

Yes, if you post that output here, we may be able to tell you what's wrong.

The code that you posted for form showing the 'method="post"' can not produce this output where

[REQUEST_METHOD] => GET

Either you didn't post the correct source or the one you're using is different.

I double-checked.

That form + that script = that output. I kid you not. Could it be a server setting perhaps? ??? Seems to me like what I'm trying to do does not match what the server allows me to do - but I'm stabbing in the dark here. Any suggestions welcome.

pandecta · October 1, 2008

Any further ideas for me?

At this stage I'd take any help, including an alternative form mail script - as long as it's simple enough for a php newbie like me to operate.

Many thanks.
