So i´m currently working on a website where i want the customers to be able to mail directly to my email via a Contact Form. I am right now running all the files trough a wamp server 3 and right now I´m testing if the mail function works with Test Mail Server that listen to Port 25.
This is the PHP code for the form:
<?php
$myemail = "test.xample@xample.com";
if (isset($_POST['email']))
{
echo "Thank you for contacting us!";
/* Set e-mail recipient */
/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$name = ($_POST['name']);
$subject = ($_POST['subject']);
$email = ($_POST['email']);
$message = ($_POST['message']);
/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}
if ($name = "")
{
show_error("You need to write your name...");
}
if ($email = "")
{
show_error("You need to enter a email...");
}
if ($message = "")
{
show_error("A message is required if you wish to have out help...");
}
/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$mail = "Hello!
Your contact form has been submitted by:
Name: $yourname
E-mail: $email
Message:
$Message
End of message
";
/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($myemail, $subject, $message);
/* Functions we used */
function check_input($data, $problem='error')
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
{
show_error($problem);
}
return $data;
}
function show_error($myError)
{
?>
<html>
<body>
<b>Please correct the following error:</b><br />
<?php echo $myError; ?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
exit();
}
}
?>
And this is the HTML part of the form:
<form class="mt-5 ml-5 mr-5" method="_POST" action="handler.php" id="reused_form">
<p id="contactForm" class="h4 text-center mt-5"><strong>Kontakta oss</strong></p>
<!-- input text(Name) -->
<div class="md-form">
<i class="fa fa-user prefix">*</i>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="form-control">
<label for="name">Ditt namn</label>
</div>
<!-- input email -->
<div class="md-form mt-5">
<i class="fa fa-envelope prefix">*</i>
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" class="form-control validate">
<label for="email" data-error="Fel" data-success="Rätt">Din email</label>
</div>
<div class="md-form mt-5">
<i class="fa fa-user prefix"></i>
<input type="text" id="subject" class="form-control">
<label for="subject">Ämne</label>
</div>
<!-- input message -->
<div class="md-form mt-5">
<i class="fa fa-pencil prefix">*</i>
<textarea type="text" name="message" id="message" maxlength="5000" class="form-control md-textarea" rows="3"></textarea>
<label for="textareaPrefix">Meddelande</label>
</div>
<div class="text-center mt-4 mb-4">
<button class="btn danger-color" type="submit">Skicka</button>
</div>
</form>
When i press the Submit Button the only thing that happens is that this is added to the URL:
My inputs for this test:
/handler.php?name=asd&email=asd%40ad&message=asd
So it is just adding the values of the inputs in the URL...
What i need help with is how to solve this problem and be able to mail. I would be very pleased if someone could help with that.
Yo are using method=_POST which is not correct method so in default, the form uses GET method to send the data.
Please try using method=POST instead of method=_POST and it will work perfectly.
<form method="POST">
.........
</form>
