Hi Guys,

 

I'm very new to web design. looking to put a contact form on my contact page. I've got everything together but i keep gettting a 404 error when i press the submit button.

 

I'm wondering if it is in my Array or landing page or what.....

 

 

here's the code I have...

 

This is before the Document html code....

 

<?php

// Set email variables

$email_to = "my email goes here";

$email_subject = 'Contact From';

// Set required fields

$required_fields = array('fullname','email','comment');

// set error messages

$error_messages = array(

'fullname' => 'Please enter a Name to proceed.',

'email' => 'Please enter a valid Email Address to continue.',

'comment' => 'Please enter your Message to continue.'

);

// Set form status

$form_complete = FALSE;

// configure validation array

$validation = array();

// check form submittal

if(!empty($_POST)) {

// Sanitise POST array

foreach($_POST as $key => $value) $_POST[$key] = remove_email_injection(trim($value));

// Loop into required fields and make sure they match our needs

foreach($required_fields as $field) {

// the field has been submitted?

if(!array_key_exists($field, $_POST)) array_push($validation, $field);

// check there is information in the field?

if($_POST[$field] == '') array_push($validation, $field);

// validate the email address supplied

if($field == 'email') if(!validate_email_address($_POST[$field])) array_push($validation, $field);

}

// basic validation result

if(count($validation) == 0) {

// Prepare our content string

$email_content = 'New Website Comment: ' . "\n\n";

// simple email content

foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {

if($key != 'submit') $email_content .= $key . ': ' . $value . "\n";

}

// if validation passed ok then send the email

mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_content);

// Update form switch

$form_complete = TRUE;

}

}

function validate_email_address($email = FALSE) {

return (preg_match('/^[^@\s]+@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}$/i', $email))? TRUE : FALSE;

}

function remove_email_injection($field = FALSE) {

return (str_ireplace(array("\r", "\n", "%0a", "%0d", "Content-Type:", "bcc:","to:","cc:"), '', $field));

}

?>

Hi Everyone!

 

I really need help!

 

I've put a contact form on my page. when i press submit, the page changes and goes to another page saying ERROR 404 page cannot be found or displayed.

 

Can you please help me.

 

 

Thank you.

This means that the page you are trying to redirect the user to does not exist. You should check if url you send it to exists. Maybe you made an error.

that's thing, I didn't setup a redirect code.

 

may I send you what I have for my code, and see if you could find the error? I've watched many videos and tried everything and no luck.

It would probably help if you posted the code. What is the form action field set to?

Action: Post

'fullname' => 'Please enter a Name to proceed.',

'email' => 'Please enter a valid Email Address to continue.',

'comment' => 'Please enter your Message to continue.'

);

// Set form status

$form_complete = FALSE;

// configure validation array

$validation = array();

Actually method = post, action = contact.php. Where is contact.php? Where did you get the code from?

ya I do have Method: Post Action: Contact.php

 

I got it one of the videos on youtube.

 

what do you mean where is the contact.php?

is it all wrong?

When the form is submitted, its looking for the file contact.php. do you have that file? Which directory is it in?

i have it in the root folder

The codes I have, are they correct?

 

the php code for the drop downs, and the check box are they correct for validation?

@RadicalDude Topics merged plz don't duplicate post. sent you a message explaining more

@Moderator, just looking for help. figured i post in couple of areas hoping to get a quick reply. Do you have an answer to my question?

@Moderator, just looking for help. figured i post in couple of areas hoping to get a quick reply. Do you have an answer to my question?

Currently no i don't its late and im tired. But for future reference Posting in multiple areas is not the way to get help. This will more often then not rub the mods the wrong way. And I don't mean to sound harsh about it but if we let one member post in multiple areas to get quick replies other members will think its ok as well. So we just got to keep the peace ya know

Try changing this line

<form id="form_588312" class="appnitro" method="post" action="contact.php">

 

to

 

<form id="form_588312" class="appnitro" method="post" action="">

Try changing this line

<form id="form_588312" class="appnitro" method="post" action="contact.php">

 

to

 

<form id="form_588312" class="appnitro" method="post" action="">

Mmm this would'nt really do any different unless of course his contact page hes trying to direct his action torward indeed isnt called contact.php but it is worth a try

I agree it wont do much,but it will run the the script if ,as I suspect, all his code is in the one file, and infact there is no contact.php

Hi Guys,

 

so I checked on what you said. noticed that I had Contact capitalized. when i made the change now i get a new error message:

 

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
