mike2fast Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Help with PHP Email Code I am currently designing a PHP website and i have been following some useful tutorials but one that i have followed i have come unstuck with and it wont work. If anyone could help me with the code below it would be a great help. First of all we have the contact.html form <html> <head> <title>Ajax Contact Form by Andrew Walsh</title> <style type="text/css"> body { margin:50px 0px; padding:0px; text-align:center; } #contactarea { width:350px; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; padding:15px; border:1px solid #333; background-color:#eee; font-weight: bold; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px; } #inputbox { border: 1px solid #000; width: 270; padding: 2px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px; } #inputlabel { font-weight: bold; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px; } #textarea { border: 1px solid #000; padding: 2px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px; width:330; } #submitbutton { border: 1px solid #000; background-color: #eee; } </style> <script language="javascript"> function createRequestObject() { var ro; var browser = navigator.appName; if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){ ro = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }else{ ro = new XMLHttpRequest(); } return ro; } var http = createRequestObject(); function sendemail() { var msg = document.contactform.msg.value; var name = document.contactform.name.value; var email = document.contactform.email.value; var subject = document.contactform.subject.value; document.contactform.send.disabled=true; document.contactform.send.value='Sending....'; http.open('get', 'contact.php?msg='+msg+'&name='+name+'&subject='+subject+'&email='+email+'&action=send'); http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse; http.send(null); } function handleResponse() { if(http.readyState == 4){ var response = http.responseText; var update = new Array(); if(response.indexOf('|' != -1)) { update = response.split('|'); document.getElementById(update[0]).innerHTML = update[1]; } } } </script> </head> <body> <div id="contactarea"> <form name="contactform" id="contactform"> <span id="inputlabel">Name:</span> <input type="text" name="name" id="inputbox"> <span id="inputlabel">Email:</span> <input type="text" name="email" id="inputbox"> <span id="inputlabel">Subject:</span> <input type="text" name="subject" id="inputbox"> <span id="inputlabel">Message:</span> <textarea name="msg" rows="10" id="textarea"></textarea> <input type="button" value="Send Email" name="send" onclick="sendemail();" id="submitbutton"> </form> </div> </body> </html> Then we have the contact.php form <?php /* Author: Andrew Walsh Date: 30/05/2006 Codewalkers_Username: Andrew This script is a basic contact form which uses AJAX to pass the information to php, thus making the page appear to work without any refreshing or page loading time. */ $to = "[email protected]"; //This is the email address you want to send the email to $subject_prefix = ""; //Use this if you want to have a prefix before the subject if(!isset($_GET['action'])) { die("You must not access this page directly!"); //Just to stop people from visiting contact.php normally } /* Now lets trim up the input before sending it */ $name = trim($_GET['name']); //The senders name $email = trim($_GET['email']); //The senders email address $subject = trim($_GET['subject']); //The senders subject $message = trim($_GET['msg']); //The senders message mail($to,$subject,$message,"From: ".$email.""); //a very simple send echo 'contactarea|Thank you '.$name.', your email has been sent.'; //now lets update the "contactarea" div on the contact.html page. The contactarea| tell's the javascript which div to update. ?> From what i can gather the HTML form passes the information to the PHP form which then sends the information to your email address. I have changed the email address to the one that i want to use and have also tried using a different one incase it did not like the one i have chosen to use. If anyone could help with this i would really appreciate it.
