Hi Guys.

 

Wondering if anyone can help. I've been trying to sort this out for the last 3 days and can't seem to get anywhere. I'm currently working on a php mail script with jquery & php validation. The page woks well and sends the users contact details to the server, but refuses to display anything in the (From:) (see attached) so wont forward it to the virgin media email.

 

 

The script I have is:

<?php
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

	//Check to make sure that the name field is not empty
	if(trim($_POST['contactname']) == '') {
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$name = trim($_POST['contactname']);
	}
	
	//Check to make sure that the name field is not empty
	if(trim($_POST['postcode']) == '') {
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$postcode = trim($_POST['postcode']);
	}

	//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
	if(trim($_POST['number']) == '') {
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$number = trim($_POST['number']);
	}
	
	//Check to make sure that the subject field is not empty
	if(trim($_POST['postcode']) == '') {
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$postcode = trim($_POST['postcode']);
	}

	//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
	if(trim($_POST['email']) == '')  {
		$hasError = true;
	} else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['email']))) {
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$email = trim($_POST['email']);
	}

	//Check to make sure comments were entered
	if(trim($_POST['message']) == '') {
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		if(function_exists('stripslashes')) {
			$message = stripslashes(trim($_POST['message']));
		} else {
			$message = trim($_POST['message']);
		}
	}

	//If there is no error, send the email
	if(!isset($hasError)) {
		$
		$emailTo = 'contact@r-m-t.org.uk'; 
		$body = "Name: $name \n\n Email: $email \n\n Contact No.: $number \n\nPost Code: $postcode \n\n Message:\n $message";
		$headers = 'Website Contact Form';

		mail($emailTo, $headers, $body );
		$emailSent = true;
	}
}
?>

can anyone help or suggest a way to work round virgins spam filters to allow.

 

Thanks

The mail function should be:

 

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

In your case:

 

mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

 

Rename $headers to $subject

 

Your new $headers should be:

 

$headers = 'From: whatever@whatever';

 

Edit: For example:

 

if(!isset($hasError)) {

		$emailTo = 'contact@r-m-t.org.uk'; 
		$body = "Name: $name \n\n Email: $email \n\n Contact No.: $number \n\nPost Code: $postcode \n\n Message:\n $message";
		$subject = 'Website Contact Form';
		$headers = 'From: whatever@whatever';
 
		mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
		$emailSent = true;
}
