add cc option to php form

logicsound · June 22, 2010

1st post so be easy with me...googled and searched but could not find an exact answer. My client would like to cc the form poster. I am not really worried about an option to do this I would just like to hard code it in the form to pull the data from the email form and email them a copy.

Here is my code that is on my page that the form posts to

<?PHP

$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS;

$mailto = "[email protected]";

$mailsubj = "LOI";

$mailhead = "From: LOI";

reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);

$mailbody = "Values submitted from LOI:\n";

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))

{

$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";

}

mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);

and this is the section of code on my form page that I want to email too

<tr>

<td align="right" bgcolor="#660000"><span class="style3">Contact Email</span></td>

<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span><span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg">Invalid format.</span></span></td>

So I need the code to capture ID "email" and put that in my php

thanks

in the form itself, add in a check box to add carbon copy

then in your headers you can use all of these things:

$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n";

$headers .= "Reply-To: [email protected]\r\n";

$headers .= "Return-Path: [email protected]\r\n";

$headers .= "CC: [email protected]\r\n";

$headers .= "BCC: [email protected]\r\n";

Hope it helps out.

edit:

remember that you get your data from the form using $_POST so to extract the email address you get that through $email = $_POST['EMAIL'];

then to add the headers in your case you would do:

$mailhead .="CC: ".$email."\r\n";

but remember to add the \r\n to your other mail head or it wont really work.

ok but what code do I need to give thee cc checkbox ? so it links to send a cc email.

also in your code example you have $headers .= "CC: [email protected]\r\n"; but this email address is going to change depending on what the user puts in there email field so what is the php code so I can pull the data from my ID email in the form

Thanks!!

radar · June 22, 2010

the CC checkbox would be just regular HTML for a check box.. nothing special.

I edited my other post for you... you only need the checkbox if you want to give the end user the option of having it sent to them as well otherwise you dont need it.

logicsound · June 22, 2010

ok not to good with php so let me see if I got this right.

add this

$mailhead .="CC: ".$email."\r\n";

so do I add this too

$email = $_POST['EMAIL'];

or do I change the one I got to that?

sorry for being so dumb...

radar · June 22, 2010

hey i was there once too...

these are the 2 lines you'll change.. one is just a change, one is an addition...

$mailhead = "From: LOI\r\n";

$mailhead = "CC: ".$_POST['EMAIL']."\r\n";

simple eh?

logicsound · June 22, 2010

<?PHP

$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS;

$mailto = "[email protected]";

$mailsubj = "LOI";

$mailhead = "From: LOI\r\n";

$mailhead = "CC: ".$_POST['EMAIL']."\r\n";

reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);

$mailbody = "Values submitted from LOI:\n";

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))

{

$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";

}

mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);

I never recieved the cc email is the reason I ask. Thanks so much for your help!!

radar · June 22, 2010

btw, im not setting any form tags with an action?

The best practices would to have something like this:

-- add tables and input boxes here --

</form>

then in your sendmail.php doing something like this:

<?php
  $to = [email protected]
  $from = $_POST['email'];
  $sub = "LOI";
  $mailhead .= "FROM: LOI\r\n";
  $mailhead .= "CC: ".$_POST['EMAIL']."\r\n";

  
$mailbody = "Values submitted from LOI:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) 
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; 
}
mail($to, $subj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>

logicsound · June 22, 2010

yep, I have the form tags. The form does send the email to the [email protected] address just not getting the cc yet.

radar · June 22, 2010

alright add this to the bottom of your PHP file...

echo '<pre>';

print_r($_POST);

echo '<pre>';

submit the form and make sure that everything is being submit correctly.

logicsound · June 22, 2010

hmm, when I insert that code, everything gets screwed up. any chance you can look the webpage? its

http://leonlevinefoundation.org/inquiry.html

radar · June 22, 2010

everything looks right to me, whats it say or do when you submit the form?

logicsound · June 22, 2010

it shows the form data on the page..

where exactly do I put that code you gave me? in the php file with my mailhead code? do I put it after the mailhead?

radar · June 22, 2010

thats what its supposed to do, copy that form data and post it here for me to look at...
