Sp34k Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hallo guys This is my first journey into the world of phpfreaks, so hallo Okay, let's get to the point, I've been doing some research for a solution to my problem, but without success.. My knowledge about php aren't as huge as it maybe, should have been;) But okay, my website is: www.sp34k.com, and as you may see I have a side called "contact", ironic enough I have a wish, people should be able to contact me but, can they? Ofc. not, that's why im here.. The files which I think has a relevant position in this situation is: www.sp34k.com/download/contactphp.rar Now, it doesn't rly make any sense to me all of this, tho. I've tried to edit some things to see a result but again, without success.. I don't know if any of you guys can figure out what the problem might be? Best regards, Mike Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132497-php-email-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp34k Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 ofc. I can, I apologize for that mistake, there they go: This is how I edit the contact.php file, below this code you'll see the orginal file: <?php //-----------------Getting data sent by flash--------------------- foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){ if ($key != '[email protected]' && $key != 'mail.bluegelwebsitehosting.com' && $key != '25' && $key != 'mail_from' && $key != 'mail_subject' && $key != 'plain_text'){ $mail_body .= '<b>'.str_replace('_',' ',$key).'</b>:<br/>'; $mail_body .= ''.stripslashes($value).'<br/>'; } } //----------------------------------------------------------------- $message = '<html><body>'.$mail_body.'</body></html>'; // mail body //------------if plain text is set to true removing html tags------ if ($_POST['plain_text']=='true') { $message = str_replace('<br/>',"\r\n", $message); $message = strip_tags($message); //------------------------------------------------------------------ } else { //----otherwise composing message headers--------------------------- $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; //------------------------------------------------------------------ } //------------setting conf data------------------------------------- $to = $_POST['mail_to']; $from = $_POST['mail_from']; $subject = $_POST['mail_subject']; $smtp_server = $_POST['smtp_server']; $smtp_port = $_POST['smtp_port']; //------------------------------------------------------------------ //---------setting header info-------------------------------------- $headers .= 'To: '.$to. "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: Site visitor ' .$from. "\r\n"; //------------------------------------------------------------------ if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){ // sending mail print('&mail=1'); //succes } else { print('&mail=0');//failure } ?> And the ORGINAL contact.php file: <?php //-----------------Getting data sent by --------------------- foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){ if ($key != 'mail_to' && $key != 'smtp_server' && $key != 'smtp_port' && $key != 'mail_from' && $key != 'mail_subject' && $key != 'plain_text'){ $mail_body .= '<b>'.str_replace('_',' ',$key).'</b>:<br/>'; $mail_body .= ''.stripslashes($value).'<br/>'; } } //----------------------------------------------------------------- $message = '<html><body>'.$mail_body.'</body></html>'; // mail body //------------if plain text is set to true removing html tags------ if ($_POST['plain_text']=='true') { $message = str_replace('<br/>',"\r\n", $message); $message = strip_tags($message); //------------------------------------------------------------------ } else { //----otherwise composing message headers--------------------------- $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' .

"\r\n"; //------------------------------------------------------------------ if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){ // sending mail print('&mail=1'); //succes } else { print('&mail=0');//failure } ?> There's two other files, but im not sure if there relevant at all! It's called tfile_form05Configuration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- -- Please read this information to learn how to set up the contact form integrated -- into the template. -- -- This readme file explains in details the meaning of the settings that can be -- done in the fcContactFormConfiguration.xml configuration file. -- -- It is recommended for you to use an XML editor to make changes to this file -- because it’s less possible to make an error in the markup which can cause to -- a not working contact form. --> <contactFormConfiguration> <!-- -- An e-mail address which will be used to receive messages from your contact form. -- You can specify several e-mail addresses separating them with a comma. -- For example: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] --> <emailTo>[email protected]</emailTo> <!-- -- A server script type which will process sending e-mails.

chronister Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Learn how to create / validate and process a web form and then check out PHPMailer.... I have used self-written scripts to send mail for quite some time, I then fought for a couple hours on trying to attach a file to the mail. I downloaded phpmailer and looked over the documentation and was able to accomplish it rather quickly. A HUGE kudos to the folks who created it. It is simple to use and works GREAT!! But learn how to process a form first.. It is really not that difficult to do, and once you learn that you can create any forms you need to.

Sp34k Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hallo guys First of all, thank you for the responses..

nitation Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I doubt it if there is any tutor available on PHP Freaks. My advice for you is to understand how forms are parsed to the server using PHP rather than finding someone to arrange or modify a code for you. By the look of things you don't even understand what is happening in the code posted. Learn or consult a developer to do this for you.

chronister Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 If you want to use it, you really need to learn how it works. You don't need to become a PHP expert to accomplish what you want, but it is in your best interest to at least learn the basics. For instance... your code stops working for some reason down the road. The form does not do what it is supposed to do. Do you want to rely on someone else to fix it or do you want to know how to fix it yourself?? If you really have no desire to learn how it works and how to make it do what you want how you want, then I suggest you post a project in the Freelance section and hire someone to do it for you. We donate our time and effort to help people learn, but I don't want to waste my time building something for someone unless I am getting paid for it. If you wish to hire me, then I will make that contact form do whatever the hell you wish. But if you don't want to hire me, or to at least learn the basics of what your trying to accomplish, then I will not waste my time or effort. To be really blunt, if you have no desire to learn how it works, then you have no business messing with it in the first place.
