PHP Mail Form

[vareside]

Hi folks,

during the last weeks I got a bit confused and busy due to school work. I would like to build a small e-mail-service where the user can send messages to an e-mail-adress of his/her choice.

The form should basically contain 5 fields.
1. Name
2. E-Mail (from)
3. E-Mail (to)
4. Subject
5. Message

And if it's possible, to prevent spam, an image-code you have to enter "to verify that you are a human".

Kind regards,
vareside

Easy script but you would open to big problems from spam unless it it password protected.

I will try to log in tomorrow and paste the code in for you but I would not use it unless you password protect the page

Hi friends,

I would also like to build a small e-mail-service where the user can send messages to an e-mail-address of their choice.

The form should basically contain 5 fields.
1. Name
2. E-Mail (from)
3. E-Mail (to)
4. Subject
5. Message
6. My Ad at the bottom in a text form

And if it's possible, to prevent spam, a special-code has to be entered "to verify that the sender is registered with us". If you get sufficient help do let me know the details of the same.

Kind regards,
dynamark

Ok I can not do anything about making sure they are a member but you can place the script in a folder that can only be accessed buy a registered user.

I uploaded this to my site and tested it. It does work be sure to set the permissions to 755 on the files after you get them on your server.

code for the form

<div> <table width="60%"><tr><td>
<form method="post" action="send.php"onsubmit="return validate_form(this)">

Your Name: </td><td><input type="text"name="name"/></td><tr><tr><td>

Your Email: </td><td><input type="text"name="email"/></td><tr><tr><td>

Email your sending to: </td><td><input type="text"name="send"/></td><tr><tr><td>

Subject: </td><td><input type="text"name="subject"/></td><tr><tr><td>


Message:</td><td>
<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="30">


</textarea></td></tr><tr><td>
<input type="submit" value="send message"/>
</form>
	</td></tr></table>		
		</div>

save this code as send.php

<?php 
$name=$_REQUEST['name'];
$email=$_REQUEST['email'];
$send=$_REQUEST['send'];
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
  

$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields
  
  mail ("$send", "$subject", "$message","$header") ;

  echo"<h1>Your message has been sent</h1>";


?>

This is the javascript to paste into the header section of your page it will not let the form be submitted without senders email address entered.

<script type="text/javascript">
function validate_required(field,alerttxt)
{
with (field)
  {
  if (value==null||value=="")
    {
    alert(alerttxt);return false;
    }
  else
    {
    return true;
    }
  }
}

function validate_form(thisform)
{
with (thisform)
  {
  if (validate_required(email,"Email must be filled out!")==false)
  {email.focus();return false;}
  }
}
</script>

I will remove this in 24 hours but I left it for you to see how it looks
