contact form adjustment

[mdez13]

hey guys,

 

if you goto getrapidcharge.com/rcsite/contact.php, i've implemented a contact form. i'dd like to add a field to the top where i can choose a department from a dropdown list, which in turn will send the email to the selected departments address. This is currently whats processing the form. any help would be greatly appreciated. i thought about an array but im not sure how i'd implement it.

 

<?php 
session_start();

$errors = '';
$name = '';
$visitor_email = '';
$visitor_telephone = '';
$visitor_subject = '';
$visitor_hear = '';
$user_message = '';

$your_email ='admin@getrapidcharge.com';// <<=== update to your email address

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

$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$visitor_telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$visitor_subject = $_POST['subject'];
$visitor_hear = $_POST['hear'];
$user_message = $_POST['message'];

///------------Do Validations-------------
if(empty($name)||empty($visitor_email))
{
	$errors .= "\n Please Fill out Required Fields. ";	
}
if(IsInjected($visitor_email))
{
	$errors .= "\n Bad email entry!";
}
if(empty($_SESSION['6_letters_code'] ) ||
  strcasecmp($_SESSION['6_letters_code'], $_POST['6_letters_code']) != 0)
{
//Note: the captcha code is compared case insensitively.
//if you want case sensitive match, update the check above to
// strcmp()
	$errors .= "\n <div class='captcha-miss'>The captcha code does not match!</div>";
}

if(empty($errors))
{
	//send the email
	$to = $your_email;
	$subject="Form Submission From Contact Page";
	$from = $your_email;
	$ip = isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ? $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] : '';

	$body = "A user  $name submitted the contact form:\n".
	"Name: $name\n".
	"Email: $visitor_email \n".
	"Telephone: $visitor_telephone \n".
	"Subject: $visitor_subject \n".
	"How did you hear about us? $visitor_hear \n".
	"Message: \n ".
	"$user_message\n".
	"IP: $ip\n";	

	$headers = "From: $from \r\n";
	$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";

	mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers);

	$success = '';
	$success .= 'Your message sent!';
	//header('Location: contact.php');
}
}

// Function to validate against any email injection attempts
function IsInjected($str)
{
  $injections = array('(\n+)',
              '(\r+)',
              '(\t+)',
              '(%0A+)',
              '(%0D+)',
              '(%08+)',
              '(%09+)'
              );
  $inject = join('|', $injections);
  $inject = "/$inject/i";
  if(preg_match($inject,$str))
    {
    return true;
  }
  else
    {
    return false;
  }
}
?>

 

heres the HTML/JS

<?php
if(!empty($errors)){
echo "<p class='err'>".nl2br($errors)."</p>";
}
?>
<div id='contact_form_errorloc' class='err'></div>
<form method="POST" name="contact_form" 
action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>">

</script>

For a drop down form, first create the select drop down list in html

<select name="email_list">
   <option value="support">Support</option>
   <option value="pay">Pay</option>
</select>

 

Then for the PHP side, after you submit the form and retrieve the POST data, you'd do

$department = $_POST['email_list'];
echo $department; // to make sure it worked

 

Hope that helped

To add to insidus's explanation, you do NOT want to use the actual emails as the values in the select list - otherwise they could be target for spam by any spider that crawls your site. So an array is a good solution - assuming you don't have a database for this information. I typically have my form pages submit to themselves to make validation easier and in that case you could define the array in that page. But, if you are going to have separate pages for the form and the processing then you would want to store the array in a separate file and include it in both pages.

 

I am not going to read through your code to make the changes, but I will provide the guidance on how it can be implemented.

 

1. Create a file with just the array defined, e.g. contacts.php, using the index keys as the description and the value as the email address

$contactAry = array(
    'department1' => 'emailaddress1.domain.com',
    'department2' => 'emailaddress2.domain.com',
    'department3' => 'emailaddress3.domain.com',
    'department4' => 'emailaddress4.domain.com',
);

 

2. Include the email address file in the form page and add a process to build the select list using the department name as the value

include('contacts.php');
echo "<select name='department'>\n";
foreach($contactAry as $department => $email)
{
    echo "<option value='$department'>$department</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";

 

3. Lastly, use the same array to validate that the passed value is valid and translate it into the appropriate email address to use

include('contacts.php');
if(!array_key_exists($_POST['department'], $contactAry))
{
    echo "Invalid department";
}
else
{
    $email = $contactAry[$_POST['department']];
}

i've implemented this using the forms processing variable of $your_email, but i get this error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach(). Thoughts?

 

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

$contactAry = array(
    'Sales' => 'matthew@gmail.com',
    'Advertising' => 'matthew@gmail.com',
);

    if(!array_key_exists($_POST['department'], $contactAry))
{
    echo "Invalid department";
}
else
{
    $your_email = $contactAry[$_POST['department']];
}


....

 

 

<select name="destemail">
<?php 
echo "<select name='department'>\n";
foreach($contactAry as $department => $your_email)
{
    echo "<option value='$department'>$department</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";
?>
</select>

Probably because your array is within a condition.

 

Move it outside your

 

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

 

condition, and the error should go away.

i assumed that could be the problem. now it just pushes down my headers and display text outside of the select.

this is what i have now. it works to an extent. it will send the message but also display 'invalid department' at the same time, thoughts?
