I used to use a script similar to this for my contact page. However, lately I have been getting spam email sent via my contact page. The reason for this is I did not have adequate validation on the fields for the form. While I had the form checking the various fields exist, I did not check for a valid email address. This script will suffer from the same problem, to resolve it I suggest inserting the following code as shown.

  $from = $_POST["from"];  //gets the name of the person
  $email = $_POST["email"];  //gets their email address

//start email address check code
function check_email($email) { 
	if(ereg("([[:alnum:]\.\-]+)(\@[[:alnum:]\.\-]+\.+)", $email)) {
		return 1;
	}
	else{
		return 0;
	} 
}
$email_ok = check_email($email);
if ($email_ok == 0) {echo("The email address you entered is invalid");exit;}
//end email address check code

  $content = "This message is from $from whose email address is $email.\r\n-----------\r\n ";

This checks the email address is in the form of "someone@domain.com", if it is not the script will show the message, "The email address you entered is invalid" and exit the script. While this will not stop the message being sent when a fake email address is entered, I have found some of these spammers tend to not use an address. Hopefully this will save you from some of the spam mail I have suffered from.

another idea for an add on is to check if the user put in all the fields :lol:


 <?php
 if( !$_POST["from"] || !$_POST["email"] || !$_POST["content"] ) {
if($_POST["content"]{
echo "You did not fill in all the fields!";
}
else {
echo "&nbsp;";
}
}
 else
 {
  $from = $_POST["from"];

just change the lines over the $from =... line to match that and the email will not send without the fields not being filled in <_<

EDIT: change script to be more user friendly. you do not have to add another } at the end of the script to make this work :lol:

Here's another way of having a feedback form on your website. This is the method I use since it works great and, I guess you can say, professional. What I do is create a page, such as contact.php and a page, such as thankyou.php. I will break it down into the bare essentials for you and you can modify it to match your own site. Oh, it also checks for a valid email address as well as a drop down box for the subject field of the email.

contact.php

<html>
<head><title>Feedback Form</title></head>
<body>
<h3 align=center>Write to us!</h3><br><br>
<FORM action=thankyou.php method=post>
<?
	$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
	$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
	$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
?>
	<INPUT type=hidden value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" >
	<INPUT type=hidden value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" >
	<INPUT type=hidden value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" >
	Your Name:<BR><INPUT size=35 name=visitor><BR>
	Your Email:<BR><INPUT size=35 name=visitormail <BR><BR><BR>
	Attention:<BR>
	<SELECT size=1 name=attn>
		<OPTION value=" General Support " selected>General Support</OPTION>
		<OPTION value=" Refunds ">Refunds</OPTION>
		<OPTION value=" Webmaster ">Webmaster</OPTION>
	</SELECT><BR><BR>
	Mail Message:<BR><TEXTAREA name=notes rows=4 cols=40></TEXTAREA><BR>
	<INPUT type=submit value="Send Mail"><BR>
</FORM>
</body>
</html>

After the email is typed up and ready to be sent, the user clicks on the Send Mail button and are taken to the thankyou.php page. The script makes sure all fields are filled out. The only place in the script that needs to be edited is clearly marked.

<html>
<head><title>Thank You For Your Feedback!</title></head>
<body>
	<h3 align=center>
		Thank you for your feedback.<br>
		We value your input.<br>
		We will get back to you as soon as possible!
	</h3><br>
	<?
		if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,".")))
		{
			echo "<h2>Use Back Button - Enter a valid e-mail</h2>\n"; 
			$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
		}
		if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes ))
		{
			echo "<h2>Use Back Button - make sure you fill in all fields</h2>\n";
		}
		echo $badinput;
		$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a");
		$attn = $attn; 
		$subject = $attn; 
		$notes = stripcslashes($notes); 
		$message = " $todayis [EST] \n
		Attention: $attn \n
		Message: $notes \n 
		From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
		Additional Info : IP = $ip \n
		Browser Info: $httpagent \n
		Referral : $httpref \n";
		$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";
		mail("you@yourdomain.com", $subject, $message, $from); //CHANGE THIS TO YOUR EMAIL
	?> 
	<P align=center>
		Date: <?php echo $todayis ?><BR>
		Thank You : <?php echo $visitor ?> ( <?php echo $visitormail ?> )<BR>
		Your message has been sent.<BR>We will be in touch shortly.<BR><BR>
		Attention: <?php echo $attn ?><BR>
		Message:<BR><?php $notesout = str_replace("\r", "<br/>", $notes); 
		echo $notesout; ?><BR>
		<?php echo $ip ?>
	</P>
</body>
</html>

And there you have a complete emailing systen in php for your website. Feel free to modify it any way you see fit. You can even copy the above code and save it in two files, one named contact.php and one named thankyou.php and change the one line to your email address and it will work "right out of the box." One of the features of the thankyou page is it informs the sender that the email has been sent as well as displaying their name, date, subject of the email, text of the message sent and their IP address. I hope you find this code useful.

EDIT: I forgot to add, you can see this script in action at Everything For Free.

Wow this is useful, I tried it and it works, thought I don't get how I'm gonna have a hidden thing in the form (the subject) but it doesn't show in the Email.

Posted 21 May 2006 - 09:15 AM

I think I overlooked something. Add the following to the thankyou.php right after the <body> tag

<?
$ip = $_POST['ip']; 
$httpref = $_POST['httpref']; 
$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent']; 
$visitor = $_POST['visitor']; 
$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail']; 
$notes = $_POST['notes'];
$attn = $_POST['attn'];
?>

and it should fix a few things.

EDIT: Here is a better example of the contact form in action at my main site True2Earn.com. Sometimes, simplicity is the best way as this example shows. Plus, I set it to open in a new window and not directly on the page. One of those little "tricks" to keep people on your website

SMTP server?Email Script/form With Php

Hi all:

All scripts great. But NONE of them explain where to tell the script what mail server you are using. How will the program/php know what mail server to use? I assume that the mail needs to go through a mail server, right? Am I missing something?

Regards,

Luis
