PHP form to email - help the edit the script

willH · November 4, 2015

Hi,

I am a beginner in php. I speak little english I got the the script on form to email but I have problems with him. Please help with that?

1. Form are uploaded but immediately sends unfilled on email.

2. Immediately after loaded and sent to the e-mail page appears thanking although has not been filled. Is perhaps a better to control of

fulfillment of important data ?

3. How to do after sending the form redirection to the new webpage with the results:

a) Form was sent - web page I have already made - the need to insert link to a php.

b) Error + error list - web page I have already made - the need to insert link to a php.

Thank you all in advance for your help with the addition of a script !!!

I enclose a script:

<?php
 
$EmailFrom = "info@my mail.co.uk";
$EmailTo = "info@my mail.co.uk";
$Subject = "Info";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));
 
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
  echo "please check your details";
  header("Location: http://my webpage/testform.php");
  exit;
}
 
 
 
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";
 
 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
 
 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1;URL=thanks.html\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1;URL=thanks.html\">";
}
?>

Look at your script!! YOu blindly create php vars using stuff that may or may not exist. Then you output the email and send a success message. Where is you logic? Where do you even check if you have $_POST vars?

You obviously are learning, but you also are obviously not used to programming in any language. YOu have to look at your code and know what it is doing and be sure that is what you want it to do.

Start your script at the top by checking if a specific POST variable exists. I like to use the button value that the user clicks to submit the form. So if your submit button is named "btn" and the value of the button is 'Submit', then my first line would be :

if (isset($_POST['btn']) && $_POST['btn'] == 'Submit')

{

continue with form processing and email

build a success or failure message such as $msg = "???";

}

else

{

handle the first time thru this script of some other submit button process (Cancel or Return??)

}

DisplayPage(); // call a function that displays all of my html code - the form and any messages.

exit();
