Newbie seeks urgent help

Expand Post »

Hi folks,

just registered here in the hope to get some help. I'm new to PHP and have following problem: a simple form used to get the field inputs into my email box. But although i get a "successful" page upon sending, nothing drops in my mailbox.
Here's the full code:
<?
// set your own preferences here
#############################################################
// Your email address
$youremail = 'my adres';
// Your web site title (John Doe's Site)
$websitetitle = 'website title';
// Path to "thanks for the message" page
$thankyoupage = '....../Contact_success1.php';
// Send notification to sender (use false if not required)
$sendnotification = true;
// Continue with your error checking, output of form, et cetera.
$contact_form_action = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if ((isset($_POST["sendcontact"])) && ($_POST["sendcontact"] == "contactsent")) {
$contacter_form_error = array();
if (empty($_POST['empresa_name'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher nome da empresa';
}
if (empty($_POST['contato_name'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher nome do contato';
}
if (empty($_POST['fone'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher número do telefone';
}
if (empty($_POST['contato_email'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher seu e-mail';
}
if (empty($_POST['produto'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher o produto';
}
if (empty($_POST['origem'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher origem';
}
if (empty($_POST['destino'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher destino';
}
if (empty($_POST['quantidade'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher quantidade';
}
if (empty($_POST['peso'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher peso';
}
if (empty($_POST['comprimento'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher comprimento';
}
if (empty($_POST['altura'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher altura';
}
if (empty($_POST['largura'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher largura';
}
else {
$empresa_name = stripslashes($_POST['empresa_name']);
$contato_email = stripslashes($_POST['contato_email']);

$body =<<<EOB
Empresa: $_POST[empresa_name]
Contato: $_POST[contato_name]
Fone: $_POST[fone]
Fax: $_POST[fax]
Email: $_POST[email]
Produto: $_POST[produto]
Origem: $_POST[origem]
Destino: $_POST[destino]
Quantidade: $_POST[quantidade]
Peso: $_POST[peso]
Comprimento: $_POST[comprimento]
Altura: $_POST[altura]
Largura: $_POST[largura]
EOB;

$subjectline = "$websitetitle | Orçamento de empresa";

mail($contato_email, $subjectline, $body);

if($sendnotification == true) {
$notification_message = "Obrigado por nos contatar, $contato_name. Recebemos sua mensagem e entraremos em contato em breve";
$notification_subject = "Obrigado por sua mensagem para $websitetitle.";

mail($contato_email, $notification_subject, $notification_message, "From: $youremail");;
}
header("Location

thankyoupage");
}
}
?>

Any help is appreciated

TIA

Re: Newbie seeks urgent help

I don't see anywhere that your code checks to see if there is anything in the error array and display it if needed. It just goes on to attempt to send the mail and it also doesn't check the return value of the mail function. Make sure you are actually displaying any errors in your error message array and you may want to try to echo your mail parameters prior to sending, to make sure those look ok to you. Capture the return value from mail() and check that as well.

Re: Newbie seeks urgent help

ezzaral, is this the error checking you refer to?

<?
// Print form field errors if present
if (count($contacter_form_error)>0){
print '<p id="bottom"><strong>Algo está errado:</strong></p>'."\n";
print '<ul>'."\n";
foreach($contacter_form_error as $form_err) {
print "<li class=\"error\">$form_err</li>\n";
}
print '</ul>'."\n";
}
?>

Re: Newbie seeks urgent help

Yes, your first post did not show any code to check for those entries and went straight to the mail() statement.

Re: Newbie seeks urgent help

yes, also how do you have the mailserver set up? (you have got a mail server set up, right? youd be amazed the number of n00bs who just expect PHP to be able to magically send mail)

Re: Newbie seeks urgent help

The following is the necessary code to store, check that no info was empty and email the user.
You will need to change the $to variable to suit your needs.
You will also need to make <input name="form_from"> for the Text Box that stores the users email address
And the same need applied to the subject and message input boxes.

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
if(isset($_POST['your_submit_button_name_here'])) {
 
 
    $from = $_POST['form_from'];
    $subject = $_POST['form_message'];
    $message = $_POST['form_subject'];
 
    if(strlen($from) > 0 AND strlen($subject) > 0 AND strlen($message) > 0) {
        if(emailUser($from, $subject, $message))
            echo "Email Sent";
        else
            echo "Email Not Sent";
    }
 
 
    function emailUser ($from, $subject, $message) {
 
        $to = 'you@youremail.com';            
        $headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
        return mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    }
 
} else {
?>
 
 
<!-- Do your HTML Here -->
 
 
 
<?php
}
?>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['your_submit_button_name_here'])) {


    $from = $_POST['form_from'];
    $subject = $_POST['form_message'];
    $message = $_POST['form_subject'];

    if(strlen($from) > 0 AND strlen($subject) > 0 AND strlen($message) > 0) {
        if(emailUser($from, $subject, $message))
            echo "Email Sent";
        else
            echo "Email Not Sent";
    }


    function emailUser ($from, $subject, $message) {
    
        $to = 'you@youremail.com';            
        $headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
        return mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    }

} else {
?>


<!-- Do your HTML Here -->



<?php
}
?>

Cheers.
Enjoy.

Re: Newbie seeks urgent help

Hi folks,

about the server: i used my providers' one since it supports php fully.

But it's resolved now:
I had a variable set // Send notification to sender (use false if not required)
$sendnotification = true;

then I checked against that before sending. Since the variable appears to be always set to 'true' no need to 'if' it before sending, right? Since that variable is hard-coded (meaning the value isn't set by a form field, for example) then why 'if' it?

Taking the 'if' statement away from the mail functions worked :-)

but i'm confronted with a new problem: the data get's delivered, except the email from the sender:
Empresa: TEST
Contato: LUC
Fone: 989
Fax: 090
Email:
Produto: TEST
Origem: TEST
Destino: TEST
Quantidade: TEST
Peso: TEST
Comprimento: TEST
Altura: TEST
Largura: TEST

Also the notification mail to the sender leaves his name out:
Obrigado por nos contatar, (here should be his name). Recebemos sua mensagem e entraremos em contato em brev

Re: Newbie seeks urgent help

The blank email is solved:
Changing Email: $_POST[email]

to

Email: $_POST[contato_email]

did the trick.

But i'm stumped why the notification mail to the sender leaves his name out:
Obrigado por nos contatar, (here should be his name). Recebemos sua mensagem e entraremos em contato em breve.
