[SOLVED] Problem with web form

[bkkranj]

Posting from web form returns:

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in G:\WWW\Testna\mail.php on line 8

 

and my mail.php looks like:

 

<?php

$to      = "[email protected]";

$user = $_REQUEST["user"];

$email = $_REQUEST["email"];

$comments = $_REQUEST["comments"];

 

$headers = "From: $email";

mail($to, $comments, $headers);

echo "Hvala za sporocilo.";

 

?>

 

Could anyone pls help me?

 

You can look at my www: http://bkkranj.no-ip.info (form on right side)

 

Tnx

Try this:

<?php
$to      = "[email protected]";
$user = $_POST["user"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$comments = $_POST["comments"];

$headers = "From: $email";
mail($to, $comments, $headers);
echo "Hvala za sporocilo.";

?>

$_REQUEST is something else...

[bkkranj]

That doesn't do the trick. I get the same message.

 

Should I alter php.ini instead? But that would probably solve just sending from my comp,or not?

 

I am confused...

 

I need an universal solution.

[phpSensei]

Try

[bkkranj]

Nothing.

 

Now i've tried with:

 

<?php

 

$to = "[email protected]";

$user = $_REQUEST["user"];

$email = $_REQUEST["email"];

$comments = $_REQUEST["comments"];

 

$headers = "From: $email";

mail($to, $comments, $headers, "From: $email");

echo "Hvala za sporocilo.";

 

?>

 

and i get the message:

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in G:\WWW\mail.php on line 9

 

problem seems to be with line 9 ( mail($to, $comments, $headers, "From: $email"); )

 

:'(

 

[phpSensei]

lol, you need to setup your php config files in order for this to work.

 

I don't think you can send EMAILS, from localhost though.

[bkkranj]

could you please direct me to solution

 

i am completely new at this : :-\

 

if i adjust settings in php.ini, that would probably be a solution just 4 me, wouldnt it? what about if someone else tries to post from my web form?

 

im getting dizzy.

Well, I guess you don't have a SMTP sever on your local, use your ISP's SMTP in your php.ini file

[bkkranj]

i guess i would have to change this in php.ini:

 

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = localhost

smtp_port = 25

 

; For Win32 only.

;sendmail_from = [email protected]

 

What about password. I an ussing gmail. is it required?

[phpSensei]

You should be fine without it/

[bkkranj]

You should be fine without it/

 

what about visitors? does this applies to them also? i dont se a connection.

 

should i install mail server?

[Lamez]

well if you have it on your computer or your web server, and this is your only source of getting on the net, then you need to set it up a mailserver, but if you have web hosting then they have a mail server.

[bkkranj]

no, it's my comp.

 

if i set mailserver would that mean that all posting would be directed through it? also from external users?

 

or does the posting depend from one's specific settings?

[bkkranj]

i've tried to use gmail smtp in php.ini:

 

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = smtp.gmail.com

smtp_port = 587

 

it returns:

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first e8sm7643806muf in G:\WWW\mail.php on line 9

 

?????

 

[marcus]

mail(to,subject,message,headers);

[bkkranj]

to short 4 me. i need details. thx in advance

[bkkranj]

I've managed to install smtp server, and now i am receiving mails.

 

IT'S JUST THAT THEY ARE EMPTY !!!! I'll lose it.

 

How could this be happening.

[bkkranj]

Pls, need help.

mgallforever pointed out your putting the mail() paramaters in the wrong way:

 

mail(to,subject,message[,headers]);

 

try

<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$user = $_POST["user"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$comments = $_POST["comments"];
$subject= "From: $email";

mail($to, $subject, $comments);
echo "Hvala za sporocilo.";

?>

Your forgetting headers

 

$from = $_POST['from'];

$headers = "from $from";

[mrdamien]

Headers are optional

bool mail  ( string $to  , string $subject  , string $message  [, string $additional_headers  [, string $additional_parameters  ]] )
