Hellusius Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I looked up some code for a mailing page, so people can instant mail to the contact mail of the website, but it does not really work.so far I got[code]<?if ($_POST["email"]<>'') {$ToEmail = 'harold_break@hotmail.com';$EmailSubject = 'Contact us';$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";$MESSAGE_BODY = "Name: ".$_POST["name"]."<br>";$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Email: ".$_POST["email"]."<br>";$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Comment: ".nl2br($_POST["comment"])."<br>";mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY, $mailheader) or die ("Failure");?>Your message was sent<? } else { ?><form action="contactus.php" method="post"><table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="29%" class="bodytext">Your name:</td><td width="71%"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="32"></td></tr><tr><td class="bodytext">Email address:</td><td><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="32"></td></tr><tr><td class="bodytext">Comment:</td><td><textarea name="comment" cols="45" rows="6" id="comment" class="bodytext"></textarea></td></tr><tr><td class="bodytext"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send"></td></tr></table></form><? }; ?>[/code]I can send the mails, but they do not arrive into the mail, is there something I am doing wrong?thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfmason Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 The reason may be this portion of the code.[code=php:0]$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";[/code]Change this to an email address that is known to the server ..i.e. you @yourdomain.comI would place the [code=php:0]$_POST['email'][/code] in the message body. Like this.[code=php:0]$MESSAGE_BODY .= $_POST['email'] . "<br />";[/code]Give it a try. I would be willing to bet that this will fix your problem.Hope this helps,Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellusius Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 well I don't have an email on my serverand I don't get the second things, which line do I exactly need to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfmason Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Ok I just looked at the script you already have the users email in the message body. So disregard that. Now if you do not have an email address with the mail server..? Maybe your host has the fake mail enabled. So try [code=php:0]$mailheader = "From: noreply@yourdomain.com\r\n";[/code]Give that a shot.Good luck,Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellusius Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Doesn't change a thing, sadly :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellusius Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 I still have not figured it out, I asked a few other people I whom know a bit of PhP as well, but they didn't have a clue either, anymore suggestions are welcome =).
