Contact form editing

[zondac]

Hi. When i fill in my contact form, it shows a "Message sent successfully" message. Then nothing happens. I think there is something wrong with my hosting but the service provider just can't help with that.

 

How can i edit these codes to send a mail through smtp?

 

 

<?php

 

if(!$_POST) exit;

 

function isEmail($email) {

return(preg_match("/^[-_.[:alnum:]]+@((([[:alnum:]]|[[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]-]*[[:alnum:]])\.)+(ad|ae|aero|af|ag|ai|al|am|an|ao|aq|ar|arpa|as|at|au|aw|az|ba|bb|bd|be|bf|bg|bh|bi|biz|bj|bm|bn|bo|br|bs|bt|bv|bw|by|bz|ca|cc|cd|cf|cg|ch|ci|ck|cl|cm|cn|co|com|coop|cr|cs|cu|cv|cx|cy|cz|de|dj|dk|dm|do|dz|ec|edu|ee|eg|eh|er|es|et|eu|fi|fj|fk|fm|fo|fr|ga|gb|gd|ge|gf|gh|gi|gl|gm|gn|gov|gp|gq|gr|gs|gt|gu|gw|gy|hk|hm|hn|hr|ht|hu|id|ie|il|in|info|int|io|iq|ir|is|it|jm|jo|jp|ke|kg|kh|ki|km|kn|kp|kr|kw|ky|kz|la|lb|lc|li|lk|lr|ls|lt|lu|lv|ly|ma|mc|md|me|mg|mh|mil|mk|ml|mm|mn|mo|mp|mq|mr|ms|mt|mu|museum|mv|mw|mx|my|mz|na|name|nc|ne|net|nf|ng|ni|nl|no|np|nr|nt|nu|nz|om|org|pa|pe|pf|pg|ph|pk|pl|pm|pn|pr|pro|ps|pt|pw|py|qa|re|ro|ru|rw|sa|sb|sc|sd|se|sg|sh|si|sj|sk|sl|sm|sn|so|sr|st|su|sv|sy|sz|tc|td|tf|tg|th|tj|tk|tm|tn|to|tp|tr|tt|tv|tw|tz|ua|ug|uk|um|us|uy|uz|va|vc|ve|vg|vi|vn|vu|wf|ws|ye|yt|yu|za|zm|zw)$|(([0-9][0-9]?|[0-1][0-9][0-9]|[2][0-4][0-9]|[2][5][0-5])\.){3}([0-9][0-9]?|[0-1][0-9][0-9]|[2][0-4][0-9]|[2][5][0-5]))$/i",$email));

}

 

if (!defined("PHP_EOL")) define("PHP_EOL", "\r\n");

 

$name     = $_POST['name'];

$email    = $_POST['email'];

$phone    = $_POST['phone'];

$comments = $_POST['comments'];

 

if(trim($comments) == '') {

echo '<div class="error_message">You forgot to enter your message.</div>';

exit();

} 

 

if(trim($name) == '') {

echo '<div class="error_message">You have to enter a name.</div>';

exit();

} else if(trim($email) == '') {

echo '<div class="error_message">Please enter your e-mail adress, so we can get back to you</div>';

exit();

} else if(!isEmail($email)) {

echo '<div class="error_message">Invalid e-mail address, try again.</div>';

exit();

}

 

$address = "devran.akana@gmail.com";

 

 

$received_subject = 'You\'ve been contacted by ' . $name . '.';

 

$received_body = "$name contacted you." . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;

$received_content = "\"$comments\"" . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;

$received_reply = "Reply to $name $email or call his/her phone: $phone";

 

$message = wordwrap( $received_body . $received_content . $received_reply, 100 );

 

$header = "From: $email" . PHP_EOL;

$header .= "Reply-To: $email" . PHP_EOL;

 

if(mail($address, $received_subject, $message, $header)) {

 

// Email has sent successfully, echo a success page.

 

echo "<h2>Email Sent Successfully.</h2>";

echo "<p>Thank you <strong>$name</strong>, your message has been sent to us.</p>";

 

} else {

 

echo 'ERROR!';

 

}

$_POST always exists as an array, you should check with empty

if(empty($_POST)){
exit;
}

Try simpler mail() messages and try to different email services, you may be getting blocked somehow...some are very strict.

You can try using phpmailer instead

 

Sending emails reliable is one of the hardest things to accomplish.

 

You can use a validate filter and check for an email pattern

} else if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo '<div class="error_message">Invalid e-mail address, try again.</div>';
exit();
}

There is many more top,second and generic domains than what you have.

Here is a list I compiled.

Try a much more simple script to test if mail functionality is working properly. Simple execute this function:

<?php

$to = 'someemail@example.com'; // change me

mail($to, 'test subject', 'test body');

If you don't get an email, then your server is either not configured properly, or the IP is blacklisted due to previous spam abuse. Unless you have tons of money to throw around, your best option for being able to reliably send mail is to let a third party handle it... something like Google Apps. They have a free SMTP relay along with their monthly plans which would allow you to send mail from your server (in the case that it is in fact blacklisted).

[mac_gyver]

$header = "From: $email" . PHP_EOL;

 

 

the email is not being sent From: the email address that the visitor entered. it's being sent from your mail server at your web hosting.

 

in this case you are trying to send it to a major mail system, gmail, and gmail checks that the From: address the email says it is from, actually corresponds to the sending mail server.

 

you must use a from address in the email that's either hosted at the sending mail server and has a domain that can be matched to the sending mail server and/or you must have an SPF record where the domain in the from address is hosted at that says the sending mail server is authorized to send email for that domain.
