I've developed an iOS app and rails backend server. While I took some HTML classes back in university, it's been a long while since I've touched any.
I purchased a 'template' website to be my application landing page. I've tweaked it to be what I want, but I'm having 1 issue with the Contact/Form Submission page. When I press send, I do not receive an email at the intended email address. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the code (I'm guessing not, I would think this highly rated template would have had something like this correct), or if I need to set up something with my domain that I currently haven't done as I wouldn't know about it.
Here's the relevant code...
index.html
<form action="javascript:;" method="post">
...
<input type="submit" class="button white" value="Send →" />
</form>
send_email.php
<?php
// Replace this with your own email address
$to="example#gmail.com";
// Extract form contents
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$website = $_POST['website'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Validate email address
function valid_email($str) {
return ( ! preg_match("/^([a-z0-9\+_\-]+)(\.[a-z0-9\+_\-]+)*#([a-z0-9\-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$/ix", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}
// Return errors if present
$errors = "";
if($name =='') { $errors .= "name,"; }
if(valid_email($email)==FALSE) { $errors .= "email,"; }
if($message =='') { $errors .= "message,"; }
// Send email
if($errors =='') {
$headers = 'From: FluidApp <no-reply#fluidapp.com>'. "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$email.'' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$email_subject = "Website Contact Form: $email";
$message="Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nWebsite: $website \n\nSubject: $subject \n\nMessage:\n\n $message";
mail($to, $email_subject, $message, $headers);
echo "true";
} else {
echo $errors;
}
?>
However, nothing is being sent to my email "example#gmail.com".
What might I be missing here?
Maybe replace
<form action="javascript:;" method="post">
with
<form action="send_email.php" method="post">
That should do it, assuming the ... in your HTML snippet contains the right variables for the form submission- name, email, website, subject, message, etc.
EDIT: OP figured it out.
Place the <form action="send_email.php" method="post">
and remove <form action="javascript:;" method="post">
it will work perfect your send_email.php is good
place all 2 files in same folder

I have a web app that sends a URL link in the body of the email from a button onclick="email();". The url is a php page with .php?id= and everything after equal sign is getting truncated when sent from an Android device.
I have tried encoding the URL but nothing is working...
I know the mailto tag uses the = sign as a parsing character...but still cannot figure this out.
Here is code.
function email() {
window.location.href = "mailto:?subject=LIVE link!&body=Here is a link for a LIVE demo!%0D%0Awww.domain.ca/scores/" + sport + "php%3Fid%3d" + id +"%0D%0A%0D%0AThanks";
}
Any suggestions or experience in this?
Works fine on all other platforms (iOS, Windows etc)
Turns out is was specific to Outlook app on Android device.
This is from one of my sites..
<?php
if(!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
//This page should not be accessed directly. Need to submit the form.
echo "error; you need to submit the form!";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['mail'];
$message = $_POST['appointment'];
//Validate first
if(empty($name)||empty($visitor_email))
{
echo "Name and email are mandatory!";
exit;
}
if(IsInjected($visitor_email))
{
echo "Bad email value!";
exit;
}
$email_from = 'Client';//<== update the email address
$email_subject = "Booking an appointment";
$email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n"."Here
is the message:\n $message";
$to = "somebody#hotmail.com ";//<== update the email address
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
//Send the email!
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
//done. redirect to thank-you page.
header('Location: aboutUs.html');
// Function to validate against any email injection attempts
function IsInjected($str)
{
$injections = array('(\n+)',
'(\r+)',
'(\t+)',
'(%0A+)',
'(%0D+)',
'(%08+)',
'(%09+)'
);
$inject = join('|', $injections);
$inject = "/$inject/i";

have been a while since i posted last thanks, in advance for all your help in the past..i have a single email box with a submit button.
What i want to do is to check this email address to make sure its not empty, if it is to display a message and then ask user to enter the valid email address which i want to validate so that it is only hotmail and gmail accounts e.g. xyz#hotmail.com and xyz#gmail.com and nothing else..
my code below works ok to check for empty and does display alert message on screen but i do not know how to manpulate the email address check and if all is ok how to use the same one submit button to submit the valid email with thank u popup message after submissions..thanks in advance...singhy
ps: apologises in advance for any beginners mistake i have made ...sorry
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
$to = 'xyz#hotmail.com';
$subject = '';
$email = $_POST['email_from'];
//$message = "LIST \r\n".
$message = "signoff list name \r\n";
}
$email_from = $_POST['email'];
// create email headers
$message = wordwrap($message, 100, "\r\n");
$headers = 'From: '.$email."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email."\r\n" .

If you are going for frontend validation (which should only be used to improve the user experience, never trust user input and always validate at the server side!), why not use the HTML5 features that exist for exactly that purpose. Something like this:
<form>
<label>Email:
<input type='email' pattern=".+(#gmail.com|#hotmail.com)" required />
</label>
<button type="submit">subscribe</button>
</form>
type=email makes sure only email addresses are accepted
required makes sure a value is provided before it can be submitted
pattern accepts a regex to which the input needs to comply before it can be submitted.
Personally I'm not a big fan of the default error messages my browser produces, but I'm even less of a fan of the alerts you are using, so...
If you insist on going the javascript way, I would advise something like this (pseudo code, untested):
function isEmpty(input) { ... }
function isEmail(input) { ... }
function isGmailOrHotmail(input) { ... }
function isValid(node) {
var value = node.value;
return ! isEmpty(value) && isEmail(value) && isGmailOrHotmail(value);
}
And then you could bind the isValid function to your submit button (preferably from your script file or block, but the inline onclick way should work as well)
<?php
$email_from = $_POST['email'];
$errors=array(); //track the errors as the script runs
function isValidEmail($addr) // Check for a valid email
{
return filter_var($addr, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) ? TRUE : FALSE;
}
if(!isValidEmail($email_from))$errors[]='Please enter a valid email address';
//Next, test for the email provider you wanted to filter by
$atPos=strpos($email_from,'#');//find the # symbol
$afterAt=substr($email_from,$atPos,strlen($email_from)-$atPos); //get everything after
$dotPos=strpos($afterAt,'.');
$domain=strtolower(substr($afterAt,0,$dotPos)); //get the typed domain, lowercase
if($domain!='hotmail'||$domain!='gmail')$errors[]='Email must be hotmail or gmail';
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
if(count($errors)<0)
{
$to = 'xyz#hotmail.com';
$subject = '';
$email = $_POST['email_from'];
//$message = "LIST \r\n".
$message = "signoff list name \r\n";
// create email headers
$message = wordwrap($message, 100, "\r\n");
$headers = 'From: '.$email."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
#mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
}// note that I changed the nesting to only trigger the mail on post

I am wanting say thanks in an alert box instead of redirecting to thank-you.html
Here is my code:
<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
//This page should not be accessed directly. Need to submit the form.
echo "error; you need to submit the form!";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$contact = $_POST['contact']$message = $_POST['message'];
//Validate first
if (empty($name) || empty($visitor_email))
{
echo "Name and email are mandatory!";
exit;
}
if (IsInjected($visitor_email))
{
echo "Bad email value!";
exit;
}
$email_from = 'tom#amazing-designs.com'; //<== update the email address
$email_subject = "New Form submission";
$email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n" . "Here is the message:\n $message" .
$to = "tom#amazing-designs.com"; //<== update the email address
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
//Send the email!
mail($to, $email_subject, $email_body, $headers);
//done. redirect to thank-you page.
header('Location: thank-you.html');
I do not want to redirect page to thank-you.html. I only want to show the alert with "thanks".
Remove header('Location: thank-you.html'); and add javascript
<script>
alert('Thank you!!!');
</script>
Replace header() part with:
printf("<script> alert('Thank You!'); </script>");
i would really need your help. Am developing a contact/enquiry form in my website and will like the visitor to be redirected and to see their name in the thank you page after his request has been sent to my email.
I have a php processing the mail()function but i need to invoke a javascript or something similar to post his name string to the thank you page after the mail has been sent.
<?php
$field_name = $_POST['name'];
$field_dept = $_POST['department'];
$field_inquiry = $_POST['inquiry'];
$mail_to = 'customersupport#domain.com';
$field_contact = 'contactform#domain.com';
$subject = 'New Email Arrived '.$field_name;
$body_message .= 'name: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'Department: '.$field_dept."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_inquiry."\n";
$headers = 'From: '.$field_contact."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_contact."\r\n";
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
?>
I used to have this php code that redirects to the thank you page but it doesn't post the $field_name
if($mail_status) {header( "Location: thankyou.html" );} else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }
Can any one help me with a replacement or JavaScript that will redirect and also post $field_name to the thankyou.html after the mail must have been sent by php.
The complete php/javascript coding will be appreciated. thanks
Just send the name via get url parameter:
header( "Location: thankyou.php?name={$field_name}" );
//thankyou.php
echo "hello" . $_GET['name'];
This script is driving me up the wall. It's a simple submission form. I click the "submit" button and the email with all the submitted information is generated perfectly fine.
But I can't get the button to then redirect me to the "Thank You" page.
I've tried PHP, I've tried Javascript, I've even tried good old fashioned Meta Redirect. Nothing works.
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
header("location:http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html")
}
die();
?>
I've tried putting the "header" part at the top of the document. I've tried changing it to:
echo '<script>document.location="page2.html"; </script>';
I've generated so many emails with this script that gmail is now sending them all to spam. And I can't get the damn thing to redirect.
If anyone can help before I claw my eyes out, it would be much obliged. ^_^;;
EDIT: I've tried everything you've all suggested. It's as if the script just flat-out refuses to execute anything that comes after the mail command. Could there be a reason for this?
EDIT 2: Still nothing's working.
Here's the entire script (with Rolen Koh's modifications). Is there something hidden in here that is preventing the script from accessing anything that comes after the mail tag?
<?php

You can use the header() function to send a new HTTP header, but this must be sent to the browser before any HTML or text (so before the <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration, for example).
try this,this is what I am using
function redirect($url){
if (headers_sent()){
die('<script type="text/javascript">window.location.href="' . $url . '";</script>');
}else{
header('Location: ' . $url);
die();
}
}
Try this:
$mail = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
if($mail)
{
header("location:http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html");
}
Also semi-colon is missing in your header("location:http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html") line but i guess it is typo error.
use location.href
echo '<script>window.location.href="page2.html"; </script>';
The window.location object can be written without the window prefix.
The line
header("location:http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html")
Needs to be
header("Location: http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html");
Note the capital "L", the space after the colon, and the semicolon at the end.
If this does not resolve your issue, then you have an issue in some other piece of code. To find it, you might try looking at the php error log. If you have access to the server, you can find this by using any of the following resources for your particular server.
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/error_log-defines-file-where-script-errors-logged/
Where does PHP store the error log? (php5, apache, fastcgi, cpanel)
Where can I find error log files?
If you are on a shared host, they might have some non-standard location for this file, in which case, it might be easiest to contact them and ask where their standard location of the php error log is.
