Email Form Script

[eleytheria]

Hey All *waves* so I just created an account here. The problem I'm having is with an email contact form. I've previously used it on many other sites with success, so I'm not 100% sure why it isn't working now.

 

I have a feeling that it's because the server where this site is hosted has PHP 5, whereas the others were older. The problem is that I have no idea how to modify the script if that is in fact the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

 

The error message I am getting is:

 

Warning:  mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html. in D:\Hosting\7100210\html\form_handler.php on line 71

 

An error has occurred!  Mail was not sent.

 

This is the code on line 71:

if (mail ($email_form_to, $subject, html_entity_decode ($email_body), $headers)) {

 

And this is all the code:

 

<pre>

<?php

function cleanmysql($arr,$arr2) {

foreach ($arr as $gt1=>$gt2) {

if (is_array($arr[$gt1])) {

list($arr[$gt1],$arr2[$gt1]) = cleanmysql($arr[$gt1],$arr2[$gt1]);

} else {

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

 

} else {

$gt2=mysql_escape_string($gt2);

 

}

$gt2 = htmlentities($gt2);

$arr[$gt1]=$arr2[$gt1]=$gt2;

}

}

 

return array($arr,$arr2);

}

 

function check_email ($email) {

 

if (!preg_match("/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.-]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\\.+([a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]{2,})+$/i", $email)) {

return FALSE;

} else {

return TRUE;

}

 

}

 

 

 

if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) {

 

list($_POST,$GLOBALS) = cleanmysql($_POST,$GLOBALS);

 

 

 

if (isset ($_POST['email_form_to']) && !empty ($_POST['email_form_to']) && check_email ($_POST['email_form_to'])) {

if (isset ($_POST['email_form_from']) && !empty ($_POST['email_form_from']) && check_email ($_POST['email_form_from'])) {

if (isset ($_POST['redirect_user_to']) && !empty ($_POST['redirect_user_to'])) {

if (isset ($_POST['email_subject']) && !empty ($_POST['email_subject'])) {

 

$email_form_to = $_POST['email_form_to'];

$email_form_from = $_POST['email_form_from'];

$redirect_user_to = $_POST['redirect_user_to'];

$email_body = '';

$headers = '';

$subject = $_POST['email_subject'];

 

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {

 

if ($key != 'submit' && $key != 'email_form_to' && $key != 'redirect_user_to' && $key != 'email_subject') {

 

$email_body .= "$key: $value\n";

 

}

}

 

### Send Message

 

$email_body .= "---------------------------------------\n";

$email_body .= "IP Address: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

 

$headers .= "From: $email_form_from\n";

$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v" . phpversion() . "\n";

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit";

 

if (mail ($email_form_to, $subject, html_entity_decode ($email_body), $headers)) {

 

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=$redirect_user_to\">";

 

} else {

 

echo "An error has occurred!  Mail was not sent.";

 

}

 

} else {

echo 'An error has occurred - you must supply an email subject.';

}

} else {

echo 'An error has occurred - you must supply an address to forward the user to.';

}

} else {

echo 'An error has occurred - you must supply an email address!';

}

} else {

echo 'An error has occurred - you must supply an email address to send the results to. ';

}

 

}

 

?>

</pre>

Hi,

 

Having a quick look at http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html it would seem to suggest that the problem is because you are using \n instead of \r\n for the new lines in the email content.  I think this may be more associated with the headers but it'll not do any harm to replace all the \n for \r\n.

 

Let me know how you get on.
