[isiah]

Ok now im not sure exactly whats wrong here i know it works by 2 files one is the send_contact.php and the other is a java script. I had a guy make me a website and I haven't been able to get a hold of him to fix it. So im seeking help in the phpfreaks. Could someone please take a look at it and tell what i need to fix i would reall appreciate it.

 

Here is the JavaScript

 

function clearFields() {

$('form#form_contact input, form#form_contact textarea').focus(function(){

if ($(this).attr('rel') != 'cleared') {

$(this).val('').attr('rel', 'cleared');

}

});

$('form#form_contact input, form#form_contact textarea').blur(function(){

if($(this).val() == ""){

$(this).val(this.defaultValue).attr('rel', '');

 

}

});

}

function verifyErrors() {

var ready = 1;

$('.required_field').css('color', '#6b6b6b');

$('.required_field').each(function(){

if(($(this).val() == "")||(!$(this).attr('rel'))) {

$(this).css('color', '#d6041f');

ready = 0;

}

});

$('input.email').each(function(){

var email_val = $(this).val();

if(email_val.indexOf('@') < 0) {

$(this).css('color', '#d6041f');

ready = 0;

}

});

$('input.security').each(function(){

if($(this).val() != "4") {

$(this).css('color', '#d6041f');

ready = 0;

}

});

if (ready == 0) {

$('p.warning').text('* Please fill out the boxes highlighted in red and click submit').css('color', '#d6041f');

return false;

};

return true;

}

function formControl() {

$('form#form_contact').submit(function(){

if (verifyErrors()) {

action = $(this).attr('action');

mesagetosend = $(this).serialize();

$.ajax({

type: "POST",

url: 'send_contact.php',

data: mesagetosend,

dataType : "html",

timeout:10000,

error: function() {

replaceContent();

},

success: function(msg){

replaceContent();

}

});

}

return false;

});

}

function replaceContent() {

$('div#contact').replaceWith('<div id="thank_you" class="ajax"><h2><strong>Thank You</strong><em>We appreciate your inquiry,<br />and will respond as soon as possible</em></h2></div>');

}

jQuery(function($) {

clearFields();

formControl();

});

Here is the form

<form id="form_contact" method="post" action="">

<div class="left_column quick quick_left">

<h2 class="quick">Quick Contact</h2>

<p class="warning">* Means the box must be filled in before sending</p>

<?php

 

$mail_from="$f_name";

$business="$f_business";

$email="$f_email";

$phone="$f_phone";

$comment="$f_comment";

 

// From

$header="from: $name <$mail_from>";

 

// Contact phone

$phone ="$phone";

 

// Message

$message="$message";

 

 

// Enter your email address

$to ='isiahb.strong@gmail.com';

 

$send_contact=mail($to,$phone,$message,$header);

 

// Check, if message sent to your email

// display message "We've recived your information"

if($send_contact){

 

 

echo "We've recived your contact information";

 

}

else {

echo "ERROR";

}

?>

Thats the most godawful code I have seen for a contact form. There is not even any validation. I could send an email with html tags and unlimited characters for example. Is there even captcha on it?

Lastly using echo "error" for any error is really just bad. The variables they did fill out should be returned to the form along with the error details. Thats just awful. I would consider finding a new programmer for hire and I wouldn't use that script. (well techically I would just make my own. )
