[SOLVED] Autofill a form element by clicking on a link?

madhattan · September 16, 2009

I added the above code, then tried to submit and got the following...

bool(false) , D & C Contact Form Submission, Name: ghghgh Company: ghghghgh Email: ghghgh@ghghg.com Message: ghghghgh... , From:

MadTechie · September 16, 2009

Hummm

D & C Contact Form Submission

doesn't look like a valid ToEmail to me

I added the above code, then tried to submit and got the following...

bool(false) , D & C Contact Form Submission, Name: ghghgh Company: ghghghgh Email: ghghgh@ghghg.com Message: ghghghgh... , From:

madhattan · September 16, 2009

That is the subject.

$EmailFrom = "contact@depaulaclark.com";
$Subject = "D & C Contact Form Submission";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Company = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Company'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));

The output you supplied is incorrect then

have you tried echoing the value ?

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
var_dump($success);
die("$EmailTo,\n$Subject,\n$Body,\nFrom: <$EmailFrom>");

I added the above code, then tried to submit and got the following...

bool(false) , D & C Contact Form Submission, Name: ghghgh Company: ghghghgh Email: ghghgh@ghghg.com Message: ghghghgh... , From:

madhattan · September 16, 2009

that is the output. Maybe the $EmailTo part is wrong so its not echoing?

Would it have to do with making the URLs the following:

<li><a href="http://www.depaulaclark.com/contact.php?name=1">Cynthia DePaula</a></li>
    		<li><a href="http://www.depaulaclark.com/contact.php?name=2">Lily Clark</a></li>
    		<li><a href="http://www.depaulaclark.com/contact.php?name=3">Gina Lasko</a></li>
    		<li><a href="http://www.depaulaclark.com/contact.php?name=4">Sarwar Chowdhury</a></li>
    		<li><a href="http://www.depaulaclark.com/contact.php?name=5">Nathan Sherwoon</a></li>
            <li><a href="http://www.depaulaclark.com/contact.php?name=6">Jay Rahman</a></li>
    		<li><a href="http://www.depaulaclark.com/contact.php?name=7">Tommy Allen</a></li>

And then switching like this?

switch($_GET['name'])
{
case '1':
$EmailTo = 'cynthia@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '2':
$EmailTo = 'lily@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '3':
$EmailTo = 'gina@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '4':
$EmailTo = 'sarwar@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '5':
$EmailTo = 'nathan@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '6':
$EmailTo = 'jay@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '7':
$EmailTo = 'tommy@depaulaclark.com';
break;

default:
$EmailTo = $_GET['name'];
}

MadTechie · September 16, 2009

shouldn't it be

switch($_POST['name'])

as your using post in your form!

madhattan · September 16, 2009

just tried with both POST and GET and still goes to error2.htm

MadTechie · September 16, 2009

Yes your getting error2.htm because your not sending a valid ToEmail,

madhattan · September 17, 2009

i see. Well, i think i have narrowed it down to when the link URLs and the default $emailto were changed, because it was working fine before this...

default:
$EmailTo = $_GET['name'];

<li><a href="http://www.depaulaclark.com/contact.php?name=1">Cynthia DePaula</a></li>

any ideas?

MadTechie · September 17, 2009

Can you post both the scripts

The form and contactengine.php

madhattan · September 17, 2009

Here is the full form.

<form method="post" action="contactengine.php">
			<table>
				<tr>
					<td class="left"><label for="Name">Name:</label></td>
					<td><input type="text" name="Name" /></td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="left"><label for="Company">Company:</label></td>
					<td><input type="text" name="Company" /></td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="left"><label for="Email">Email:</label></td>
					<td><input type="text" name="Email" /></td>
				</tr>
                    <tr>
                    	<td class="left"><label for="To">To:</label></td>
                        <td><select name='emailto' id='emailto' value="<?php echo "name"; ?>" />
							<option value="1"<?php echo ($_GET['name'] == 1) ? "Selected='selected'" : ""; ?>>Cynthia DePaula</option>
							<option value="2"<?php echo ($_GET['name'] == 2) ? "Selected='selected'" : ""; ?>>Lily Clark</option>
							<option value="3"<?php echo ($_GET['name'] == 3) ? "Selected='selected'" : ""; ?>>Gina Lasko</option>
                                <option value="4"<?php echo ($_GET['name'] == 4) ? "Selected='selected'" : ""; ?>>Sarwar Chowdury</option>
                                <option value="5"<?php echo ($_GET['name'] == 5) ? "Selected='selected'" : ""; ?>>Nathan Sherwood</option>
                                <option value="6"<?php echo ($_GET['name'] == 6) ? "Selected='selected'" : ""; ?>>Jay Rahman</option>
                                <option value="7"<?php echo ($_GET['name'] == 7) ? "Selected='selected'" : ""; ?>>Tommy Allen</option>
						</select></td>
                    </tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="left"><label for="Message">Message:</label></td>
					<td><textarea name="Message" rows="20" cols="20"></textarea></td>
				</tr>
			</table>

<div id="captcha-area">
			<?php
			require_once('recaptchalib.php');
			$publickey = "6LcqrwcAAAAAAD1UeuZI584GhZBvyE0vYVwDN2-N";
			$privatekey = "6LcqrwcAAAAAANr7jMoEZ56UajiN08yZ4ouOCUKV";

			# the response from reCAPTCHA
			$resp = null;
			# the error code from reCAPTCHA, if any
			$error = null;

			# are we submitting the page?
			if ($_POST["submit"]) {
			  $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
											  $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
											  $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
											  $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

			  if ($resp->is_valid) {
				echo "You got it!";
				# in a real application, you should send an email, create an account, etc
			  } else {
				# set the error code so that we can display it. You could also use
				# die ("reCAPTCHA failed"), but using the error message is
				# more user friendly
				$error = $resp->error;
			  }
			}
			echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey, $error);
			?>

</div>

			<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="submit-button" />
		</form>

And here is the contact engine.

<?php

require_once('recaptchalib.php');

                                $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
                                $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

if (!$resp->is_valid) {
  die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
       "(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");
}

switch($_POST['name'])
{
case '1':
$EmailTo = 'cynthia@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '2':
$EmailTo = 'lily@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '3':
$EmailTo = 'gina@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '4':
$EmailTo = 'sarwar@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '5':
$EmailTo = 'nathan@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '6':
$EmailTo = 'jay@depaulaclark.com';
break;

case '7':
$EmailTo = 'tommy@depaulaclark.com';
break;

default:
$EmailTo = $_GET['name'];
}

$EmailFrom = "contact@depaulaclark.com";
$Subject = "D & C Contact Form Submission";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Company = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Company'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Company: ";
$Body .= $Company;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");


// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contactthanks.php\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error2.htm\">";
}
?>

MadTechie · September 17, 2009

switch($_POST['name'])

should be

switch($_POST['emailto'])

madhattan · September 17, 2009

That did the trick!

Thank you so much MadTechie for your help.

If you are ever in Manhattan, I owe you a beer or two
