(php) Contact Us form by davidpolitis on 11-13-2006 at 07:24 AM

Hi, for some reason this contact form that I'm working on won't work, can someone please try to fix it?

contact.php:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Messenger Crap - Contact Us</title>
</head>
<body>

<form action="sendmail.php" method="POST">

Name: <br />
<input type="text" name="name" size="35" />
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>

Email:<br />
<input type="text" name="email" size="35" />
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>

Message:
<br />
<textarea name="message" rows="4" cols="40"></textarea>
<br />
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Send" style='width:100px;' />


<input type="reset" value="Clear" style='width:100px;' />
</form>

</body>
</html>






sendmail.php:

<?php
/*Here we are going to declare the variables*/
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
//Save visitor name and entered message into one variable:
$formcontent="VISITOR NAME: $name\n\nFEEDBACK: $message";
$recipient = "msgcrap@live.com";
$subject = "Contact Us - Messenger Crap";
$mailheader = "From: $email\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: $email\r\n";
$mailheader .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Failure!");
echo "Thank You!";
?>


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------






Or could someone maybe please try make another one?

Well, the script sucks, and it's not secure, but I'm going to ignore that. :p

What happens when you try to send a message?

RE: (php) Contact Us form by davidpolitis on 11-13-2006 at 07:37 PM

Yer, lol.

Well, the sendmail.php script works, but when I try to send an email using contact.php is just doesn't send anything

Make this into one file:

code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
/*Here we are going to declare the variables*/
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
//Save visitor name and entered message into one variable:
$formcontent="VISITOR NAME: $name\n\nFEEDBACK: $message";
$recipient = "msgcrap@live.com";
$subject = "Contact Us - Messenger Crap";
$mailheader = "From: $email\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: $email\r\n";
$mailheader .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Failure!");
echo "Thank You!";
}
?>

Thanks heaps, but for some reason it does not show the message I type in. :(

EDIT: I found a working contact script & edited it, yay! :)


Got any ideas to make the code below more secure?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    $to = "msgcrap@live.com";
    $subject = "Messenger Crap - Contact Us";
    $name_field = $_POST['name'];
    $email_field = $_POST['email'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];

   
    $body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message\n";

    echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
    mail($to, $subject, $body);
   

}
?>

You need to ensure you're only accepting valid email addresses.

http://www.totallyphp.co.uk/code/validate_an_emai...ar_expressions.htm

It's also vulnerable to spam - people can continue to resubmit it etc.

I'd recommend implementing freecap, a PHP based Captcha library. A captcha is basically a server generated image containing a string that the user is required to enter before they can perform an action - protects against automated submissions etc.

RE: (php) Contact Us form by davidpolitis on 11-17-2006 at 05:19 AM

Yer, thnx. I'm gonna try to make it better during the holdays because end of year exams are coming up.

Also, does anyone know how to make the sender of the email be the email address the person typed in?
