I have lost my mail.php file.

Would anyone be able to tell me what needs to go into it?

This is the form I am using in my webpage:

      <form action="mail.php" method="post">
        <div align="center">
          <div align="left"><span >name: </span></div>
          <div align="left">
            <input name="name" type="text" class="text-box"  size="50" maxlength="50">
          </div>
          <div align="left"><span>email: </span></div>
          <div align="left">
            <input name="email" type="text" class="text-box"  size="50" maxlength="50">
          </div>
          <div align="left"><span >subject: </span></div>
          <div align="left">
            <input name="subject" type="text" class="text-box"  size="50" maxlength="50">
          </div>
          <div align="left"><span>message:</span></div>
          <div align="left">
            <textarea name="text" cols="47" rows="6" class="text-box" id="text" ></textarea>
          </div>
          <div align="center">
            <input name="submit" type="submit" class="button"   onClick="MM_validateForm

('name','','R','email','','RisEmail','subject','','R','text','','R');return 

document.MM_returnValue" value="send">
            <input name="Reset" type="reset" class="button" value="reset">

</div>
        </div>
      </form>

Many thanks.

Well you can have all sorts of stuff in there depending on what exactly you want. Heres one example:

PHP Code:

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .=    "From: ".$_POST['name']. " <". $_POST['email'].">\r\n";
if(@mail("admin@randomsite.com","RandomSite-UserSubmit: ".$_POST['title'], $message,$headers))
{
echo('<p>Your email has been sucessfully submitted! Thank you for contacting us.</p>'); 
} else { 
echo('<p>Your email unfortunately could not be send. Please try again in a little bit.</p>'); 
} 


The first 2 headers just leave there for information for the email program thats receiving it. The third header contains subject information, so in this case its being sent to the administrator of the site and its going to say "RandomSite-" and then have whatever the subject is that the user entered. In this script I have $message declared higher up because its loaded with html and stuff and I wanted to keep it pretty but you can do that however you want. And finally it just tells the users that the email was sent or returns an error if it wasnt sent.

Its important to note that it will return the message that the email has been sent even if no one receives the email, it just means that the server sent the email, not that it was received.

Hope that helps!

Thanks.

Its working now.

I want to add another field to my form but its not working out for me.

I want another text box called 'telephone' for them to enter their number.

I've added it to the top bit but where I try to put it further down it message up the email I receive.

Ideally I would like it to be the first line of the email.

PHP Code:

<?php
@extract($_POST);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$subject = stripslashes($subject);
$telephone = stripslashes($telephone);
$text = stripslashes($text);

$text .= "\n\nIP Address: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) {
   $text .= " or Proxy Reports: " . $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];}
$text .=  "\n\nUser Agent: " . stripslashes($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
mail('X@gmail.com',$subject,$text,"From: $name <$email>");
header("location:mailsent.htm");?>

Thanks.

PHP Code:

<?php
@extract($_POST);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$subject = stripslashes($subject);
$telephone = stripslashes($telephone);
 
$text = $telephone;
$text .= stripslashes($text);
$text .= "\n\nIP Address: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) {
   $text .= " or Proxy Reports: " . $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];}
$text .=  "\n\nUser Agent: " . stripslashes($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
mail('EMAIL_TO@SENDTO.com',$subject,$text,"From: $name <$email>");
header("location:mailsent.htm");?>

that should do it.

Thanks.

Worked a treat.

Can you edit my email out of your reply just incase a spam monster eats it?

Cheers

Actually, its repeating the telephone number twice and not including the text box message.

Any ideas?

can u post the email it generates? (without personal info obviously)

0207 318 45770207 318 4577

IP Address: xxxxxx

can you try commenting out the mail() function and just add echo $telephone

so we can see what part is making it show twice

I'm not sure how to do that.

I did this:

PHP Code:

<?php
@extract($_POST);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$subject = stripslashes(Reflexology);
$telephone = stripslashes($telephone);
 
$text = $telephone;
$text .= stripslashes($text);
$text .= "\n\nIP Address: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) {
   $text .= " or Proxy Reports: " . $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];}
$text .=  "\n\nUser Agent: " . stripslashes($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
//mail('x@gmail.com',echo $telephone,$subject,$text,"From: $name <$email>");
header("location:mailsent.htm");?>

and it still displayed the phone number twice.

try this:

<SPAN style="COLOR: #000000">

PHP Code:

<?php
@extract($_POST);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$subject = stripslashes(Reflexology);
$telephone = stripslashes($telephone);
 echo $telephone;
/*$text = $telephone;
$text .= stripslashes($text);
$text .= "\n\nIP Address: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) {
   $text .= " or Proxy Reports: " . $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];}
$text .=  "\n\nUser Agent: " . stripslashes($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
mail('x@gmail.com',echo $telephone,$subject,$text,"From: $name <$email>");
header("location:mailsent.htm");*/
 
?>

Thanks.

I filled in all the fields, in telephone I entered 07932 123456 and it returned this:

07932 12345607932 123456

      </form>

the only think i can think of is the javascript validation maybe or the extract function? :s

Right, I've taken the js validation off and done the echo and when entering '0799898' in the telephone number box '0799898' is displayed on a blank page.

So this has stopped doubling it?

Only on the echo on a blank page, not in the email.

okay without the JS validation try this code:

PHP Code:

<?php
@extract($_POST);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$subject = stripslashes(Reflexology);
$telephone = stripslashes($telephone);

$text = $telephone;
$text .= stripslashes($text);
$text .= "\n\n IP Address: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
  if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) 
  {
  $text .= " or Proxy Reports: " . $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
  }
$text .=  "\n\nUser Agent: " . stripslashes($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
mail('x@gmail.com',echo $telephone,$subject,$text,"From: $name <$email>");
header("location:mailsent.htm"); 
?>

</SPAN>
