Solved Contact PHP Mail Form..

[Rawad]

Hey Guys , anyone here have experience with PHP , especially when it comes to creating a contact form. If you do will you be able to help me with my problem?. I am trying to send mail through my contact form but it's not working for some reason. Every time I click on my contact link I am presented with



PHP CODE
hastebin

HTML CODE

hastebin

your opening it as file:// ... just an ordinary file so it will display as text
try http://localhost/RHCS/contact.php instead.

 

[Kaktussoft]

What html page do you open? I mean http:/localhost/ ..... html
I may not start with file!!

I think it's http://localhost/RHCS/NameOfhtmlfile.html
or http://localhost/NameOfhtmlfile.html

That was the problem, the location I was entering was incorrect which cause the page to load as a text file. Thanks man, although I have errors now. and it's not displaying the $strValidationMessage.I know I am forgetting some mail functions but I don't know exactly what.

 

[Kaktussoft]

What errors? Mail is actually sent and recieved? If not check some mail.err and mail.log file.
Also check php.ini : it has some entries like:
SMTP = smtp.somemailserver.com
smtp_port = 25

Copy/paste those lines please to forum (only needed if mail has not been sent succesfully)

I Just posted the errors , look at my last post.

I merged the two scripts together. Of course they can't talk to each other... so $strValidationMessage doesn't work.
Also you format to give the form elements a correct name. And some typos.

See attachment for final script (both scripts you posetd merged together). It works (just tested).
Remove line: echo $name.$email.$message;
from source I posted!

awesome it worked but whenever add echo "$strValidationMessage" it gives me an error , I want the text to display if nothing is filled saying Email has to be filled , name has to be filled, etc.

It's giving me and undefined variable .

 

[Kaktussoft]

Post your contact.php file. Then I test further. It did work on my site!

It actually does sent an email if all fields are entered? You recieve the mail correctly (check subject, sender etc)?

All my code right here , yet I used this and I got those 3 errors again

<?php $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['me - Pastebin.com

 

[Kaktussoft]

Script starts with:

<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "New Message";

replace with:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "New Message";
$strValidationMessage = "";

So just add a line. This initializes viariable strValidationMessage. Otherwise it isn't initialized on first load (when you didn't press submit yet).

I told you to delete line:
echo $name.$email.$message;
!!!!

echo $name.$email.$message;
!!!!

same thing happened man. those 3 errors I will send the code by attachment and you test it.

 

[Kaktussoft]

And move (not copy):

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

To after:
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{


----------
name,email and message haven't been defined yet (on initial load before clicking submit)

Answer #10 please

 

[Kaktussoft]

I have NOTICE errors disabled. Users like me don't see them. They are only logged in apache.log. That's why I didn't notice them. I do display them in log file and during development

Answer #10 please

Yes it says message has been send but I don't actually see the message when I go to my email account. When I go to my contact link this what happens



After I enter the info , this what happens , but it doesn't send.






<?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $name = $_POST['name']; $email = - Pastebin.com

The code you send me before worked perfect for you while testing?

 

[Kaktussoft]

mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: " .$name);

must be moved as well:

if($boolValidateOK == 1)
{
mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: " .$name);
$strValidationMessage = "Email Has been Sent.";
}
