Emailing a form

[Deewon]

I'm trying to set up some simple script for users to put an email address into form and email it to me. I found a script here, and have tried to modify it as I don't need the name or telephone fields. But now the form seams to over-validate and won't accept email addresses.

 

Here is my html code:

<font face="verdana";font size="2">
<form name="contactform" method="post" action="send_form_email.php">
<table width="550px">
</tr>
  Subscribe for updates:
  <input  type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30"><input type="submit" value="Submit">
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</font>

 

 

Here is the php:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "[email protected]";
$email_subject = "Subscribe Me";


function died($error) {
	// your error code can go here
	echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form your submitted. ";
	echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
	echo $error."<br /><br />";
	echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
	die();

}

$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required

$error_message = "Please enter an email address";
$email_exp = "^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$";
  if(!eregi($email_exp,$email_from)) {
  	$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
  	died($error_message);
  }
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";

function clean_string($string) {
  $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
  return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}

$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";


// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);  
?>

<!-- include your own success html here -->

Thank you for subscribing. Look out for updates in the near future!

- Thanks for looking.

The first thing I've noticed is that you're setting error_message and then checking if it contains data to throw the error.

 

If you remove

$error_message = "Please enter an email address";

it should work fine.

 

EDIT: You may want to remove the email addresses '[email protected]' and 'example6%@example.com' from your database . I used them for testing it.
