[Continue] Contact form

[Devilelites]

Hey,

I dont understand PHP very much, so i used a script to make a contact form on my website. There’s a secure code, but if you just enter the code, you are able to send a blank message. If someone know what i can put into my "mailer.php" so you have to enter something in all the fields, it would be nice. You can find it here: http://www.graphicaldesign.wep.dk/kontakt.html
It’s danish, but i hope someone can help. If you want the code from mailer.php just tell me.

Greetings,
Dev

What script did you use to create this contact form?
Did you just get some HTML code from somewhere?

[Devilelites]

I searched for a script. It used PHP. Here’s the code if it helps:

Mailer.php

Code:

Beskeden er sendt, tak for din henvendelse.

Gå tilbage til forsiden?

HTML

Code:

E-mail:

Klik her og få en ny.

Forkert sikkerhedskode

Besked:
<?php echo $_GET['message'];?>

[AshtonSanders]

Here’;s the updated PHP code to check to make sure that the Subject, message and From fields all have at least one character in them… I didn’t make any sort of error coding, All errors will lead to the same page:

For now you can just update the page to say "or you didn’t fill in a field…"

It’s a simple start.

Code:

0 && strlen($subject) > 0 && strlen($from ) > 0 ){
// if verification code was correct (and fields validate), send the message and show this page
mail(“[email protected]”, ‘(GD) ‘.$subject, $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’].”nn”.$message, “From: $from”);
// delete the cookie so it cannot sent again by refreshing this page
setcookie(‘tntcon’,”);
} else if(isset($message) and $message!=””){
// if verification code was incorrect then return to contact page and show error
header(“Location:”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’].”?subject=$subject&from=$from&message=$message&wrong_code=true”);
exit;
} else {
echo “Den indtastede sikkerhedskode var forkert. Gå tilbage og prøv igen.”;
exit;
}
?>

Beskeden er sendt, tak for din henvendelse.

Thank you, it works. But there’s one problem. If you fill out every field, and it succes’s to sent, this shows up over my "You’ve sent it"-message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at F:HJEMMESIDERGRAPHICALDESIGNGRAPHICALDESIGN.WEP.DKmailer.php:1) in F:HJEMMESIDERGRAPHICALDESIGNGRAPHICALDESIGN.WEP.DKmailer.php on line 23

Do you know what’s wrong?

[AshtonSanders]

Take out all spaces before the <?

[Devilelites]

Thanks again – it works perfectly now :)

Hey again. I’m using the same script for a new website – for a friend. Do you know how to add "categories", så you can choose between somthing different things. Here’s an example:

Booking (send mail to [email protected])
Webmaster (send mail to [email protected])
Questions (send mail to [email protected])

Or something like that…

[AshtonSanders]

It’s not a simple answer, but I can start you in the right direction:

You create a <select name="category"> element with the three different categories as different <options>.
Make the value for each option ="theemail@address" for that option.

Then change the mail function:

Code:

mail(“[email protected]”, ‘(GD) ‘.$subject, $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’].”nn”.$message, “From: $from”);

To:

Code:

mail(“$_POST[‘category’]”, ‘(GD) ‘.$subject, $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’].”nn”.$message, “From: $from”);

I would also recommending programming a validation for that field too, to make sure it is correct.

[Devilelites]

Sounds nice – i’ll try. But what do you mean with a validation for that field?

Edit:

The HTML works, but when i want to send the message i get this error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING’ or `T_VARIABLE’ or `T_NUM_STRING’ in F:HJEMMESIDERGRAPHICALDESIGNTEST.WEP.DKmailer.php on line 21

My css line 21 is:

Code:

mail(“$_POST[‘category’]”, ‘(GD)’.$subject, $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’].”nn”.$message, “From: $from”);

[AshtonSanders]

Let me see your HTML <select….>

[Devilelites]

Here – i just tried, i’ve no experience in forms/PHP:

Code:

Kategori:
SpørgsmålBookingWebmasterAndet

[AshtonSanders]

Replace:
</select name>
with:
</select>

Try that.

oh, and take the quotes off of the $_Post:

mail("$_POST",
Should be:
mail($_POST,

[Devilelites]

Hmm… I can’t count how many times you’ve helped me with success – THANKS again! :)

The error aint appearing anymore – now i just have to be sure that i get the message :)
