$thankyouurl = "http://thanks page" ;

$uself = 0;

// -------------------- END OF CONFIGURABLE SECTION ---------------

$headersep = (!isset( $uself ) || ($uself == 0)) ? "\r\n" : "\n" ;
$name = $_POST['name'] ;
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$comments = $_POST['comments'] ;
$http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" );

could you elaborate on what "wont work" means? like.. what isn't working correctly?

ball420 · March 20, 2007

it just won't send it goes to thank tou page but i never recieve the email

genericnumber1 · March 20, 2007

It might be that you aren't setting headers well, try setting...

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n

MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n

some times spam filters freak out if they dont have all the headers they want....

Here s a better version for ur email form

your html page with nice validation


<?php include("send_email.php"); ?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<?php 
if(@$_POST['sendEmail'] && (count($errors) > 0)) {
echo "   <strong>The following errors must be corrected:</strong>";
foreach($errors as $key => $err) {
echo "<strong>•</strong> " . $err;
}
echo "<br /><br />";
}
?>
<table border="0" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="8" summary="feedback form">
<tr><td>Name:</td><td><input type="text" name="name" value="<?php if(isset($name)) echo $name; ?>" size="25" /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Email address:</td><td><input type="text" name="email" <?php if(isset($email)) echo $email; ?> size="25" /></td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
Comments<br />
<textarea rows="15" cols="45" name="comments"><?php if(isset($comments)) echo $comments; ?></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<input type="submit" name="sendEmail" value="Send Feedback" /><br />

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>



</body>
</html>

and heres the page that sends the email, keep them in the same folder

send_email.php


<?php 
if(@$_POST['sendEmail']) {	

$name    = trim($_POST['name']);
$email    = trim($_POST['email']);
$comments    = trim($_POST['comments']);
    
//---------------------------------------------------------------
///*
$errors = array();

if(empty($name) || $name == "") {
	$errors[] = "Please, type your name";
}

if(!eregi("^[_\.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,5}$", $email) || $email == "") {
	$errors[] = "Please, Type a valid email address";
}
if(empty($comments) || $comments == "") {
	$errors[] = "Please, type your comments";
}

// if count error greater then 0 then show error
if(count($errors) > 0)	{
return false;
} 

else {

// this part sends the email
//change this to your email.
$myEmail = "myemail@domain.com";
$site_name = "my site dot com";
$no_reply = "$name <$email>";

// This is the navn of this message
$subject= "E-mail sent vi $site_name";
// Headers will included The From, Return Email
$header = "Return-Path: $no_reply>\r\n"; 
$header .= "From: $no_reply\r\n"; 
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1;\n\n\r\n";

   
//begin message admin
// if header is set to text/html then u can use the html below like usual html coding with no escape
// if header is set to text/plain use this block

// $message = "";
// $message .= "";
// $message .= "";
// $message .= "";


$message = <<<EOF

<table bgcolor="#f6f6f6" width="600" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="10" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica; font-size:12px; border:2px solid #9da5b8;">

  <tr bgcolor="#FAFAFA">
    <td height="30" colspan="2"><h4><br>Email sent via $site_name!</h4></td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr bgcolor="#FAFAFA">
    <td height="30"><strong>Name:</strong></td>
    <td>$name</td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr bgcolor="#FAFAFA">

    <td><a href="mailto:$email2">$email</a></td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr bgcolor="#FAFAFA">
    <td height="30" colspan="2"><strong style="text-decoration: underline;">Comment:</strong><br><br> $comments</td>
  </tr>
  
</table>
EOF;


// send the email
mail($myEmail,$subject,$message,$header);

// redirect to current page so if we click the refresh button
// the form won't be resubmitted ( as that would make duplicate entries )
header("Location: thankyoupage.php");
    
// force to quite the script. if we don't call exit the script may
// continue before the page is redirected
exit;
}
}
