Please help!!! My PHP contact form will not deliver properly...

[kittyshe911]

Hi there! I am a mere Web designer trying to utilize this submit.php file in conjunction with my contact form and yet it is not sending the message to the email that is indicated...

 

Here is the script:

 

<?php

 

/* config start */

 

$emailAddress = 'sheilaschook@yahoo.com';

 

/* config end */

 

 

require "phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php";

 

session_name("fancyform");

session_start();

 

 

foreach($_POST as $k=>$v)

{

if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc'))

$_POST[$k]=stripslashes($_POST[$k]);

 

$_POST[$k]=htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST[$k]));

}

 

 

$err = array();

 

if(!checkLen('name'))

$err[]='The name field is too short or empty!';

 

if(!checkLen('email'))

$err[]='The email field is too short or empty!';

else if(!checkEmail($_POST['email']))

$err[]='Your email is not valid!';

 

if(!checkLen('subject'))

$err[]='You have not selected a subject!';

 

if(!checkLen('message'))

$err[]='The message field is too short or empty!';

 

if((int)$_POST['captcha'] != $_SESSION['expect'])

$err[]='The captcha code is wrong!';

 

 

if(count($err))

{

if($_POST['ajax'])

{

echo '-1';

}

 

else if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])

{

$_SESSION['errStr'] = implode('<br />',$err);

$_SESSION['post']=$_POST;

 

header('Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

}

 

exit;

}

 

 

$msg=

'Name: '.$_POST['name'].'<br />

Email: '.$_POST['email'].'<br />

IP: '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'<br /><br />

 

Message:<br /><br />

 

'.nl2br($_POST['message']).'

 

';

 

 

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsMail();

 

$mail->AddReplyTo($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);

$mail->AddAddress($emailAddress);

$mail->SetFrom($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);

$mail->Subject = "A new ".mb_strtolower($_POST['subject'])." from ".$_POST['name']." | contact form feedback";

 

$mail->MsgHTML($msg);

 

$mail->Send();

 

 

unset($_SESSION['post']);

 

if($_POST['ajax'])

{

echo '1';

}

else

{

$_SESSION['sent']=1;

 

if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])

header('Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

 

exit;

}

 

function checkLen($str,$len=2)

{

return isset($_POST[$str]) && mb_strlen(strip_tags($_POST[$str]),"utf-8") > $len;

}

 

function checkEmail($str)

{

return preg_match("/^[\.A-z0-9_\-\+]+[@][A-z0-9_\-]+([.][A-z0-9_\-]+)+[A-z]{1,4}$/", $str);

}

 

?>

 

 

 

 

:'(

 

What am I doing wrong???

[gwolgamott]

what's it sending instead?

[kittyshe911]

Nothing, when the contact form is complete and "submit" is clicked, a thank you message returns... nothing is sent to the email.

Try to simplify it some with a straight mail() function then work away from it slowly with tests. I don't have time today, otherwise I'd take a stab at it, but I'd first take a few steps back do a hardcoded mail() and work back from that and integrate it a piece at the time in your function.

$to = "sheilaschook@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

Much appreciated!

 

I will definitely give it a try!
