Hi everyone,

 

 

First off I have to mention I'm a newbie so my php knowledge is limited -sorry, but this is why I turn to you guys.

 

I have a basic emailform.php= a field into which the user inputs his email address and I should be getting some sort of a message announcing me he signed up. But the last part isn't happening - I've tried emails from yahoo, gmail and from the sitedomain itself. Also I've tried these emails in the php form itself (email to section).

 

I also gotta mention I may have deleted a php.ini file from the root server (I don't really remember exactly).

 

Hosting is with godaddy (I know it sux but please bear with me.)

 

Also my website is not in English so I need special characters (so it's UTF8).

 

I'd be so grateful if you could help me out here - in return I'm offering a drink if you're ever in the vicinity of Milan (Italy) and my permanent respect to the world of programmers  8)

 

EMAILFORM.PHP

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

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "[email protected]";
$email_subject = "New e-mail subscriber";


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();
}

// validation expected data exists
if
	(!isset($_POST['email'])) {
	died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the email your submitted.');		
}


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

$error_message = "";
$email_exp = "^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$";
  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
$headers = 'From: [email protected]';
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);  
?>

And I overlooked this is the correct version. The one above is wrong.

 

 

// 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); 

?>

The first thing you should do is remove the error suppressing '@' from the mail function and see if you get any errors returned. With very limited exception, the @ has no place in code unless it's in an email address string.
