[SOLVED] Newbie seeking desperately help with php based form

[Luc]

Hi folks, first post here :-)

 

I'm new to php and mangled my fist php driven form together but upon sending, i get directed to the success page but nothing gets delivered in my mailbox.

 

Here's the code:

<?

    // set your own preferences here

#############################################################

// Your email address

$youremail =  'my adress';

// Your web site title (John Doe's Site)

$websitetitle =  'my title';

// Path to "thanks for the message" page

$thankyoupage =  'http://www......../Contact_success1.php';

// Send notification to sender (use false if not required)

$sendnotification = true;

  // Continue with your error checking, output of form, et cetera.

$contact_form_action = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

if ((isset($_POST["sendcontact"])) && ($_POST["sendcontact"] == "contactsent")) {

$contacter_form_error = array();

if (empty($_POST['empresa_name'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher nome da empresa';

}

if (empty($_POST['contato_name'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher nome do contato';

}

if (empty($_POST['fone'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher número do telefone';

}

if (empty($_POST['contato_email'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher seu e-mail';

}

if (empty($_POST['produto'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher o produto';

}

if (empty($_POST['origem'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher origem';

}

if (empty($_POST['destino'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher destino';

}

if (empty($_POST['quantidade'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher quantidade';

}

if (empty($_POST['peso'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher peso';

}

if (empty($_POST['comprimento'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher comprimento';

}

if (empty($_POST['altura'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher altura';

}

if (empty($_POST['largura'])){

$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher largura';

}

else {

$empresa_name = stripslashes($_POST['empresa_name']);

$contato_email = stripslashes($_POST['contato_email']);

 

    $body =<<<EOB

Empresa: $_POST[empresa_name]

Contato: $_POST[contato_name]

Fone: $_POST[fone]

Fax: $_POST[fax]

Email: $_POST

Produto: $_POST[produto]

Origem: $_POST[origem]

Destino: $_POST[destino]

Quantidade: $_POST[quantidade]

Peso: $_POST[peso]

Comprimento: $_POST[comprimento]

Altura: $_POST[altura]

Largura: $_POST[largura]

EOB;

$subjectline = "$websitetitle | Orçamento de empresa";

 

 

   

 

if($sendnotification == true) {

$notification_message = "Obrigado por nos contatar, $contato_name. Recebemos sua mensagem e entraremos em contato em breve";

$notification_subject = "Obrigado por sua mensagem para $websitetitle.";

mail($contato_email,$subjectline,$body);

mail($contato_email, $notification_subject, $notification_message, "From: $youremail");

}

header("Location:$thankyoupage");

}

}

?>

 

Follows html tags, followed by:

<?

// Print form field errors if present

if (count($contacter_form_error)>0){

print '<p id="bottom"><strong>Algo está errado:</strong></p>'."\n";

print '<ul>'."\n";

foreach($contacter_form_error as $form_err) {

print "<li class=\"error\">$form_err</li>\n";

}

print '</ul>'."\n";

}

?>

Hi Richard,

 

tnx for answering my question.

 

I've put your solution before the mailfunction like this:

 

$tosend="Forename: $contato_name\n Email: $contato_email\n";

 

But still no go ...

 

Is there something i'm missing in my "being stupid" mode?

[simcoweb]

Just a hunch, may not be it...but if everything else works but nothing gets mailed I think the logic for the sending of the email is a bit cockeyed. Follow me on this:

 

1. you have a variable set // Send notification to sender (use false if not required)

$sendnotification = true;

 

2. then you check against that before sending. Since the variable appears to be always set to 'true' I don't know why you need to 'if' it before sending. Since that variable is hard-coded (meaning the value isn't set by a form field, for example) then why 'if' it?

 

Just for fun, take the 'if' statement away from the mail functions and see what happens. You can just comment them out using //'s

[Luc]

Great, it works now but i'm confronted with a new problem:

 

the data get's delivered, except the email from the sender:

Empresa: TEST

Contato: LUC

Fone: 989

Fax: 090

Email:

Produto: TEST

Origem: TEST

Destino: TEST

Quantidade: TEST

Peso: TEST

Comprimento: TEST

Altura: TEST

Largura: TEST

 

Also the notification mail to the sender leaves his name out:

Obrigado por nos contatar, (here should be his name). Recebemos sua mensagem e entraremos em contato em breve

 

TIA

 

[simcoweb]

I think this:

 

Email: $_POST

 

should be:

 

Email: $_POST[contato_email]

 

That should take care of it.

[Luc]

Almost 

 

the mail gest delivered now but the notification still leaves the name of the sender out.

[simcoweb]

Out of what? The body of the email or ..?

[flowingwindrider]

I could be wrong, but don't the variables being received from the from need to be formatted like with single quotes like:

 

 

Email: $_POST['contato_email']

 

[Luc]

Out of the body indeed 

[Luc]

flowingwindrider: that gives me following parse error if i change that:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

 

that's why i left the " ' " out.

[simcoweb]

When you have those inside the <<<EOB it's like a giant variable.

 

What's the variable/name for your contact that's not showing up?

[Luc]

it's called contato_name and it's set up like this in the $notification_message:

$notification_message = "Obrigado por nos contatar, $contato_name. Recebemos sua mensagem e entraremos em contato em breve";

 

In the meanwhile i stumbled upon something else:

when i receive te email, the from field filles in the name of my server instead of the email from the sender of the form. Is there a special line of code i need to use to achieve that effect?

 

I now have:

mail($contato_email,$subjectline,$body);

mail($contato_email, $notification_subject, $notification_message, "From: $youremail");

 

so i thought that $contato_email would show the email in the from field of the message?

[Luc]

Well i solved 1 problem:

 

changing mail($contato_email,$subjectline,$body); to mail($contato_email,$subjectline,$body, "From: $contato_email"); made teh sendes adress appaer in the from field 

 

The only problem left is with the notification as described above

[Luc]

Finally, it's solved:

 

I didn't define $contato_name.

 

So adding

$contato_name = $_POST['contato_name'];

 

did the trick
