I need help with an email php code

[rockero_d]

Hello guys, this is my first time posting on this forum, so please let me know if I'm on the wrong spot.

Below here I'm writing the form I have on my website and also the PHP code I'm using to send the email.

For some reason it's not working, every time I try to send the email, I always end up returning to my form page, instead of the successfully sent email.

 

Website form:

 

<form id="rsvp" name="rsvp" method="POST" action="message.php">

    <table width="308" border="0">

      <tr>

        <td width="78">Name: *</td>

        <td width="220"><input name="Name" type="text" id="tswname" size="35" /></td>

      </tr>

      <tr>

        <td>Address:</td>

        <td width="220"><textarea name="Address" cols="35" rows="3" id="tswaddress"></textarea></td>

      </tr>

      <tr>

        <td>Email: *</td>

        <td width="220"><input name="Email" type="text" id="tswemail" size="35" /></td>

      </tr>

    </table>

    <p>

      <label>Will you be attending?*

        <input type="Radio" name="Radio" id="tswyes" value="Yes" />

      Yes</label>

       

      <label>

        <input type="Radio" name="Radio" id="tswno" value="No" />

        No</label>

    </p>

    <p>

      <label>Number of Guests *

        <select name="Guests" id="tswguests">

          <option value="0" selected="selected">0</option>

          <option value="1">1</option>

          <option value="2">2</option>

        </select>

      </label>

    </p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>

      <label>

        <input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit" value="Submit" />

      </label>

    </p>

    <p>*Necessary fields. </p>

  </form>

 

and this is my PHP file

 

<?php

 

$mailto = '[email protected]' ;

$subject = "Wedding RSVP" ;

 

$formurl = "http://website.com/rsvp.html" ;

$content_type = (!isset( $use_utf8 ) || ($use_utf8 == 0)) ? 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"' : 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"' ;

if (!isset( $use_envsender )) { $use_envsender = 0 ; }

$envsender = "-f$mailto" ;

$name = $_POST['Name'] ;

$address = $_POST['Address'] ;

$email = $_POST['Email'] ;

$rsvp = $_POST['Radio'] ;

$guest = $_POST['Guests'] ;

$http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" );

 

if (!isset($_POST['email'])) {

header( "Location: $formurl" );

exit ;

}

if (($email_is_required && (empty($email) || !ereg("@", $email))) || ($name_is_required && empty($name))) {

header( "Location: $errorurl" );

exit ;

}

if ( ereg( "[\r\n]", $name ) || ereg( "[\r\n]", $email )) {

header( "Location: $errorurl" );

exit ;

}

if (empty($email)) {

$email = $mailto ;

}

 

$fromemail = (!isset( $use_webmaster_email_for_from ) || ($use_webmaster_email_for_from == 0)) ? $email : $mailto ;

 

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

$rsvp = stripslashes( $rsvp );

}

 

$messageproper =

"This message was sent from:\n" .

"$http_referrer\n" .

"------------------------------------------------------------\n" .

"Name of guest: $name\n" .

"Email of guest: $email\n" .

"Address of guest: $address\n" .

"------------------------- RSVP -------------------------\n\n" .

"Attending: $rsvp\n".

"Number of guests: $guest\n".

"\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n" ;

 

$headers =

"From: \"$name\" <$fromemail>" . $headersep . "Reply-To: \"$name\" <$email>" . $headersep . "X-Mailer: chfeedback.php 2.13.0" .

$headersep . 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . $headersep . $content_type ;

 

if ($use_envsender) {

mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper, $headers, $envsender );

}

else {

mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper, $headers );

}

header( "Location: $thankyouurl" );

exit ;

 

?>

 

I've tried everything but is still not working. Thank you for your help in advance.

first thing to check is whether u can send mails from your localhost/server.

 

check this out

telnet <server ip address> 25

if it gives some time out or something then it is not working..

or else it is working

then try using a simple mail program and see if it goes then it is happening try to echo the values of the details which u are fetching, i.e $email  and all others..

first check on these..

and let me know

Try this script:

 

create the sendmail.php

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
</head>
<body>
<form id="feedback" name="feedback" target="buffer" action="process.php" method="post">
From email: <input id="from" type="text" name="from" value="" /><br />
Your name: <input id="ContactName" type="text" name="ContactName" value="" /><br />
E-mail: <input id="ContactMail" type="text" name="ContactMail" value=""/><br />
Subject: <input id="subject" type="text" name="subject" value="mailing php script" /><br />
Message: <textarea name="message">Lorem Ipsum text.</textarea>
<br />
<input type="hidden" name="remote_addr" value="<?=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']?>" />
<input type="submit" name="submit"  value="submit" />
</form>

<iframe src="process.php" name="buffer" id="buffer" frameborder="0" style="width: 90%; height: 300px;" ></iframe> 

</body>

 

 

create process.php

<pre>
<?

if(!empty($_POST)){



function check_input($data){

$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);

return $data;

}

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: " . $_POST['ContactName'] . " <" . $_POST['ContactMail'] . ">";


$from = $_POST['from'];

mail($from, $_POST['subject'], check_input($_POST['message']), $headers);








print <<< eoe

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--


parent.document.getElementById("feedback").innerHTML = "<h1>Mesage sent successfully from {$_POST['remote_addr']}</h1>";


setTimeout('delayedRedirect()', 2000);
function delayedRedirect(){
top.location.replace("{$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}");
}

// -->


</script>


eoe;




}
?>

</pre>

 

run the code

[rockero_d]

Thanks ym_chaitu, but I'm on a Windows 7 computer and I can't seem to find Telnet... As with the code, I'm gonna try it.

 

Thanks flafaille, I tried your code and the message of sending the email successfully came out, which I assumed was because the message was sent correctly, but I still haven't got anything on my email address.

[Deoctor]

u need to enable the telnet command in the 7

u can do this using this step by step instructions

http://chaitu09986025424.blog.co.in/2009/12/08/enable-telnet-command-in-windows-7vista/

 

or else u can use this site to see what all ports are open in ur machine/ip
