Hi Folks,

 

I am having some issues in getting our form to work, and I am hoping someone can help. I have used a customised script which I have altered but am still experiencing issues in getting the form to work once a user clicks on 'send message' button.

Is there a simple script i can upload and change, or is there something I need to change to the existing script - see below. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

<?php

/* Set e-mail recipient */

$myemail = "dan@definitelydomains.com";

/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */

$name = check_input($_POST['Name']);

$email = check_input($_POST['Email']);

$offerinquiry = check_input($_POST['Offer Inquiry']);

/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */

if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))

{

show_error("E-mail address not valid");

}

/* If URL is not valid set $website to empty */

if (!preg_match("/^(https?:\/\/+[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i", $website))

{

$website = '';

}

/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */

$message = "Hello!

Your contact form has been submitted by:

Name: $name

E-mail: $email

Offer Inqury:

$offerinquiry

End of message

";

/* Send the message using mail() function */

mail($myemail, $name, $email $offerinquiry);

/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */

header('Location: thanks.htm');

exit();

/* Functions we used */

function check_input($data, $problem='')

{

$data = trim($data);

$data = stripslashes($data);

$data = htmlspecialchars($data);

if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)

{

show_error($problem);

}

return $data;

}

function show_error($myError)

{

?>

<html>

<body>

<b>Please correct the following error:</b><br />

<?php echo $myError; ?>

</body>

</html>

<?php

exit();

}

?>

You can see the form here - http://drivingsupercars.com/

Beyond simple is this:

3 lines of html and it just works. No more messing with contact forms.

I keep thinking there must be a catch

Thank you - I will check this out.

 

I have added a simple script in the meantime which seems to have worked to a degree. I am now able to receive the email once someone hits 'Send message', but how do i alter this script to include additional comments? The amended script i am using is below -

 

<?php

$ToEmail = 'dan@definitelydomains.com';

$EmailSubject = 'DrivingSupercars';

$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";

$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";

$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

$MESSAGE_BODY = "Name: ".$_POST["name"]."";

$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Email: ".$_POST["email"]."";

$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Offer Inquiry: ".nl2br($_POST["offer_inquiry"])."";

mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY, $mailheader) or die ("Failure");

?>
