I am trying to create a basic form to send an email and here is how it looks:
http://www.unitedserbians.com/contact_us.html
I have everything working and buttoned up, except I cannot get the actual email to be sent once the form has completed processing. My function executes as my field validations work great and I can see the correct values are being grabbed from the form by un-commenting the JAVA script code "alert (dataString);return false;" and even the .ajax executes because I get "Contact Form Sent! We will be in touch soon." message displayed but the actual email never gets sent. I am guessing that something is missing in the process.php file. I cannot trace to see where the issue occurs or if my process.php ever executes. Should the file live in the same directory with JAVA script? or at main directory bin folder? Or is there something I am blindly missing in the process code? Can someone spot what am I missing please? Much appreciated in advance.

One possibility is that your host doesn't like the $email_from address. I think most hosts are restrictive about sending using a From address that isn't associated with that host (this is so to not enable spammers). Try using no-reply#yourdomain.com or something like that, or even better an address that really exists, as your From address. The Reply-To can still be the address the user enters (after you check that it is valid).

This is my first post on the site. I added a new input field to a previously working HTML contact form in order to collect the user’s street address. Although all other input fields continue to pass data to the email generated after the form is submitted, data is not being passed to the email with the street address. I have copied below the associated HTML, PHP, and JavaScript files, as well as an example of what data is now sent to the email.
I truly appreciate any help with what I am doing wrong. I have spent over 8 hours trying to solve this problem, but so far have been unsuccessful. Thank you!
Here is an example of the data now being placed into the email generated. Notice that the only data NOT being passed is the text that was input into the street address field of the contact form (blank).

With this I could not replicate the issues stated in the question: The $message variable is populated and can be inspected in the console or the ajax.log file that is generated in test mode.
I have setup the following code to make a contact form that doesn't refresh the page when submitted.
HTML:
<form method="POST" id="contact-form">
<div class="contact-element flex-row">
<input class="" type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" id="name" Required>
<input class="" type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email Address" id="email" Required>
</div>
<input class="" type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject" id="subject" Required>
<textarea type="text" name="message" rows="5" placeholder="Message" id="message" Required></textarea>
<input class="contact-submit" id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="form-action">
</form>
JavaScript/AJAX request:
$("#contact-form").submit(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var $form = $( this ),
url = "<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/library/contact-form.php";
var posting = $.post( url, {
name: $('#name').val(),
email: $('#email').val(),
subject: $('#subject').val(),
message: $('#message').val(),
});
posting.done(function( data ) {
alert('success');
});
});
PHP:
// Set $to as the email you want to send the test to.
$to = "my#email.com";
// Email subject and body text.
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". strip_tags($_POST['email']) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$message = $_POST["message"];
// send test message using wp_mail function.
if(isset(($_POST['name']), ($_POST['email']), ($_POST['message']), ($_POST["subject"]))) {
$sent_message = wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
} else {
};
//display message based on the result.
if ( $sent_message ) {
// The message was sent.
echo 'The test message was sent. Check your email inbox.';
} else {
// The message was not sent.
echo 'The message was not sent!';
}
The code works when I run it on my local website, It returns the success alert.
The PHP code also succeeds in sending the contact form information to my email address.
I get a 'the server responded with a status of 500 (internal error)' when I run it on my web server.
I think I must have overlooked something stupid here but I can't see it and hoping someone else can see it and help me out?
Thanks in advance!
This is how i do my ajax submission for a form. It's contains WordPress security measures, you can learn them from google in detail but small description will be provided by me.
HTML
<form method="POST" id="contact-form">
<div class="contact-element flex-row">
<input class="" type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" id="name" Required>
<input class="" type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email Address" id="email" Required>
</div>
<input class="" type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject" id="subject" Required>
<textarea type="text" name="message" rows="5" placeholder="Message" id="message" Required></textarea>
<input class="contact-submit" id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="contact_form" id="cf_action" url="<?= admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>">
<?php wp_nonce_field( 'contact_form', 'contact_form_wpnonce' ); ?>
</form>
Javascript
jQuery(function($){
$("#contact-form").submit(function(e){
var url = $('#cf_action').attr('url');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: $("#contact-form").serialize(),
success: function(data) {
alert(data.data);
}
});
e.preventDefault(); // avoid to execute the actual submit of the form.
});
});
Function
add_action('wp_ajax_contact_form', 'contact_form_function');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_contact_form', 'contact_form_function');
function contact_form_function()
{
if ( !isset($_POST['xyz_contact_email_meta_box_nonce']) && !wp_verify_nonce($_POST['xyz_contact_email_meta_box_nonce'], 'xyz_save_contact_email_data')) {
# code...
return;
}
$user_name = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['name'] );
$user_email = sanitize_email( $_POST['email'] );
$user_subject = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['subject'] );
$user_message = sanitize_textarea_field( $_POST['message'] );
$to = 'xyz#gmail.com';
$subject = $user_subject;
$body = 'Hi you recived a message from '.$user_name.'('.$user_email.'),<p>'.$user_message.'</p>';
$headers = array('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
$status = wp_mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers );
if($status){
wp_send_json_success('sent successful');
}else{
wp_send_json_error('something went wrong');
}
}
Description
okay let me guide through WordPress a bit.
WordPress have already inbuilt functionality to handle ajax-request from it's theme's functions.php, you have to copy and paste html code where you want form to show, js code in footer and function code in functions.php
Here are some tips:-
wp_nonce_field = it's used for security purpose and prevent hackers to use form for different purpose.
Sanitize data to make sure you are not receiving any malicious code from your posted data, you can use esc_attr(it will convert any tags and script into html) too.
It's a good habit to send data back with WordPress default function wp_send_json_success & wp_send_json_error.
(Forgive me if you feel hard to understand since it's my first answer on stackoverflow)
Cheers!!
Well I have this contact form that sends blank emails. But I did some testing and it doesn't happens to me. The only way this could happen, I think, would be by accesing the .php file directly. If not I don't know what could be the problem. The form doesn't let you send a blank email. If this keeps happening I'm going to add a validation in the php file too, but until I find out what is the problem I don't want to ignore this messages.
This is the HTML
<form name="contactForm" id="contactForm" method="post" action="/contactEngine.php" onsubmit="return validateForm()">
<input title="Input name" type="text" name="Name" id="Name" placeholder="Nombre:" required="">
<input title="Input email" placeholder="Email:" type="email" name="Email" id="Email" required="">
<input type="text" placeholder="Subject:" name="Subjet" id="Subjet">
<textarea title="Input message" placeholder="Mensaje:" name="Message" rows="20" cols="20" id="Message" required=""></textarea>
<input title="Input result" placeholder="25 + 25 = ?" type="text" name="Captcha" id="Captcha" required="">
<p id="wrongCaptcha"> Try again </p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send" class="submit-button">
</form>
This is the JS
function validateForm(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var x = document.forms["contactForm"]["Captcha"].value;
if (x != 50) {//if captcha is wrong
$("#Captcha").addClass("wrongCaptchaEntered");
$("#Captcha").css("animation-name" , "none");
setTimeout (function(){
$("#Captcha").css("animation-name" , "changeBorder");
},100);
if ($("#wrongCaptcha").css("display") == "none"){
$("#wrongCaptcha").slideDown();
}
}
else { //if captcha is correct
var formAction = $("#contactForm").attr("action");
if (formAction == "/contactEngine.php"){
var formData = $("#contactForm").serialize();
$.post( formAction, formData, function(data){
console.log (data);
$(".formulario").changeTo({content: "<h2 class='section-title BackgroundGradientBlack'>"+ data +"</h2>"});
});
}
}
return false;
}
And the PHP
<?php
$EmailFrom = "EmailFrom#test.com";
$EmailTo = "EmailTo#test.com";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Subjet']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));
$email_content = "Frontpage";
$email_content .= "\nNombre: $Name";
$email_content .= "\nEmail: $Email";
$email_content .= "\nMotivo: $Subject";
$email_content .= "\nMensaje: $Message";
$email_headers = "From: <$EmailFrom>";
if (mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $email_content, $email_headers)) {
http_response_code(200);
echo "Mensaje enviado";
} else {
http_response_code(500);
echo "Error";
}
?>
Thanks!
Probably some bot that's testing the PHP endpoint it can see in your JS and is sending data to it, trying to cause havoc. I bet if you logged the $_POST variable every time an email was sent, you'd seen a lot of spammy nonsense in some $_POST variables. Emails are blank just because the bots aren't smart enough to know which keys to use in its POSTs.
I cant think anymore, stuck trying to make this work. I've got two radio buttons, how do I send the form to one of two email adresses depending on the button clicked. I am a total idiot on php, thank you.

You need to use a radio button group with same name but value with different email id
<div class="radio">
<label><input type="radio" name="recipients" value="recipient_1#email.com">
Booking Accommodation
</label>
</div>
<div class="radio">
<label><input type="radio" name="recipients" value="recipient_2#email.com" >
Booking Conference
</label>
</div>
That way you can select one from two radio
in FormtoEmail.php
//use post to get the email id
$to = $_POST['recipients'];
and send mail using PHPMailer, its great library and will make your life easier
May you want use this code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['recipients']) && $_POST['recipients'] == 'recipient_1') {
// send to recipient_1
} else {
// send to recipient_2
}
?>
$my_email = $recipients[$_REQUEST['recipient']];
There is a typo in $_REQUEST variable, it would be $recipients[$_REQUEST['recipients']];
Hope it will work now. It could be more easily done in anyway.
I have a form in html whose "action" attribute calls a contact.php file. The problem is that after I submit the form, the file that is visible is a blank page with the address contact.php and I want to see again the form of the main page.
HTML:
<form id="myForm" action="php-contact/contact.php"
method="post" class="contact_form" autocomplete="off"
role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="input-subject">subject</label>
<input name="subject" type="text" class="form-control" id="subject" placeholder="your subject" maxlength="20"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="input-name">name</label>
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="your name" maxlength="20"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="input-email">email address</label>
<input name="email" type="text" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="your email" maxlength="40"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group" >
<label for="input-message">message</label>
<textarea name="message" cols="10" rows="10" class="form-control" id="comment" ></textarea>
</div>
<button name="myFormSubmitted" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">send</button>
</form>
PHP:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = "pep.g#gmail.com";
$message = '
name: '.$name.'
email: '.$email.'
message: '.$message.'
';
$headers = 'From: pep.website#website.com';
if (
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)
)
echo"<script>alert('message send succesfully')</script>";
else
echo"<script>alert('message not send')</script>";
?>
Use either $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] or use a hidden field on the form with the url of the current page:
<form action="myAction.php">
<input type="hidden" name="destination" value="<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; ?>"/>
<!-- other form inputs -->
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
myAction.php
<?php
/* Do work */
if(isset($_REQUEST["destination"])){
header("Location: {$_REQUEST["destination"]}");
}else if(isset($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"])){
header("Location: {$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]}");
}else{
/* some fallback, maybe redirect to index.php */
}
And then even then you should have fallbacks in case for some reason the client isn't respecting HTTP redirects, like some redirect javascript, a meta redirect and a link to the destination.
Add a JS redirect after your alert then
echo "<script>
alert('message sent succesfully');
window.history.go(-1);
</script>";
In your contact.php file, just use something like at the end of the PHP code:
header("location:yourfilenamehere.php");
This will redirect back to whatever page you specify.
You could do two things...
1) Have your php logic in the form file and submit to that file. On the top of the file, put something like:
if(isset($_POST['name'])) {
// your sending logic
}
followed by your form.
2) use the header() function to redirect to your form.
header("Location: form.html");
I feel pretty bad about posting this answer as it is just concatenating two other SO answers.
First part
Charlie74's answer on this page
// add the message you want to show to the user
header("Location: yourfilenamehere.php?alertmsg=message+send+succesfully");
exit();
Second part check for the alertmsg name in the query string
See SO post for getParameterByName:
function getParameterByName(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
in the page you are redirecting call the getParameterByName function:
<script>
var msg = getParameterByName('alertmsg');
if (alertmsg.length > 0) {
alert(msg);
}
</script>
