Making Contact Form Work?

Greetings,
I have set up a contact form on one of my web pages that consists of Name, Email and Comments with a Submit button. I am wondering how I can get it to actually work! I've done some online research but have come up empty handed. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You need some server-side scripting to make it work.

How to get a contact form working on OS X Server 10.8?

Since PHP's mail() function does not seem to work on OS X Server (Mountain Lion), I was wondering what other ways there are to use a contact form for our website.
Anyone?

OK, tried and tested!
Here we go.
You are going to install PEARL wwithin php on the server and then download a package called PERL::Mail with all its dependencies:
Thanks to http://echodittolabs.org/blog/2011/09/os-x-107-lion-development-native-apache-ph p-homebrew-mysql-or-mariadb for the step by step for PEAR.
Step 1
$ sudo /usr/bin/php /usr/lib/php/install-pear-nozlib.phar
Step 2
$ cat >> ~/.bashrc <<'EOF'
alias pear="php /usr/lib/php/pear/pearcmd.php"
alias pecl="php /usr/lib/php/pear/peclcmd.php"
EOF
Step 3. (just in case)
$ sudo chmod o+x ./.bashrc
Step 4.
$ . ~/.bashrc
Step 5
$ sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net
Step 6.
$ sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net
Step 7. (may say nothing to update but thats cool)
$ sudo pear upgrade --force pear
Step 8.
$ sudo pear upgrade (ditto)
Step 9.
$ sudo pecl upgrade (ditto)
Step 10. (adds the include path to your php.ini)1
sudo sh -c "cat >> /etc/php.ini <<'EOF'
include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/lib/php/pear"
EOF"
Step 11. (Installs the PEAR::Mail module - with all dependencies)
$ sudo pear install --alldeps -f mail
Step 12. Test php script with Login SMTP Auth.
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "mark <[email protected]>";
$to = "Fred <[email protected]>";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi Mark23,\n\nHow are you?";
$host = "localhost"; // or address of smtp host if different
$username = "smtp username";
$password = "smtp password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
   'To' => $to,
   'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
     'auth' => true,
     'username' => $username,
     'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
   echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
?>
I was testing this on my local dev machine and not the server and kept getting a "need FQDN name for host" reject. I added a "localhost" variable to my dev machine FQDN and all was well. I'm just telling you this if you test on a machine that IS NOT the the smtp server host.
Good luck! - Let me know how you go.

Might want to have a look at this form below. It's similar to yours but no styling - you'd need to use some css to style it up a bit. It's just the raw html/php coding. The form action="form_send.php" - basically save the code to a Dreamweaver document named form_send.php and send the information back to the page to be processed.
<?php
$number_1 = rand(1, 9);
$number_2 = rand(1, 9);
$answer = md5($number_1+$number_2);
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// get the name from the form 'name' field
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
if (empty($name)) {
$error['name'] = "<span>Please provide your name</span>";
// get the email from the form 'email' field
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$error['email'] = "<span>Please provide a valid email address</span>";
// get the comments from the form 'comments' field
$comments = trim($_POST['comments']);
if (empty($comments)) {
$error['comments'] = "<span>Please provide your comments</span>";
// security against spam
$user_answer = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['user_answer']));
$answer = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['answer']));
if (md5($user_answer) != $answer) {
    $error['answer'] = "<span>Wrong answer - please try again</span>";
// if no errors send the form
if (!isset($error) && md5($user_answer) == $answer) {
$to = '[email protected]'; // send to recipient
$from = '[email protected]'; // from your domain
$subject = 'Response from website';
$message = "From: $name\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Email: $email\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Comments: $comments";
$headers = "From: $from\r\nReply-to: $email";

echo 'Your message has been sent.';
else {

Will a Muse contact form work with a third party host?

I have made websites in the past that are hosted on adobe catalyst but never a third party. If I use a form from Muse, will it work on a their party host without any extra coding? If coding is needed, what do I need to do?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes, you can use Muse form with third party hosting server without needing to write any code. For more info, Please refer to the following link Troubleshooting Muse Form Widgets Used on Third-Party Servers

Making a form work

I am building a form to take a market survey for energy and home improvement needs in my market area, how do I get it where when they hit submit that the form gets emailed to me? And is there anyway to integrate a form to send email and text message?

You'll need a server side form mail script. First start by checking with your host to see if they have one - many do.
> And is there anyway to integrate a form to send email and text message?
There are several ways, but the easiest is to simply send an email to the recipients text message email address. For example, if the recipient is on Verizon you would send an email to their 10 digit phone number @vtext.com

Contact form not working :( Please Help...

Hey guys,
I am really in trouble with flash forms and need help please. Ive been trying to get a contact form working for a few weeks but have had no luck.
Below is the code I am putting in to the flash form and php file.
(this is the code I have put for the send Button)
on (release) {
         if (name eq "" or subject eq "" or message eq "" or email eq "") {
               stop();
         } else {
         loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST");
         gotoAndStop(2);
(this is the code I have put for the clear Button)
on (release) {
    name = "";
    subject="";
    message="";
    email="";
(And this is the php file i created in dreamweaver and saved it as form.php)
$to = "[email protected]";
   $msg = "$name\n\n";
   $msg .= "$message\n\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>
I have uploaded the swf file and php file on the server but my form is still not working by sending the information to my email.
This is the link where i got the code from http://www.flashvault.net/tutorial.asp?ID=103
It would be really greatful if someone could help me please
I look forward to your opinions and ideas.
Thanks

you should really check a tutorial using loadvars.
and there's no hope for that php file.:
try:
$to = "youremailaddress @ yourserver.com"; // change this to your email address
$email=$_POST["email"];
   $msg = $_POST["name"]."\n\n";
   $msg .= $_POST["message"]."\n\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>

Thanks for your reply.
I just used the PHP provided in

Sorry. As i said, i know nothing about PHP. How do i define
the variables.

Phone version: Contact form "Send" button not working

The "Send" button on the contact form works when used through a laptop browser, but doesn't work in a cell phone browser. I've tried it with an iPhone 6 and Samsung Dart. Any help is appreciated.

Contact form on mobile not working

The contact form works great on the desktop, but then if you make a mobile version (or as muse calls is, phone) once the site is published, you can't click inside the contact form in order to submit anything. Can someone please help, or perhaps direct me to a contact form solution that works?
To check out what I'm talking about, pull our your phone and bring up the page I'm working on:
www.fortworth148.org
If you navigate to the contact us section, you will find the trouble.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hi,
it is because the menu is overlapping the Webform, check this screenshot
Do let me know if you have any question.

Contact Form (php) - how to prevent new window...

My contact form works just fine, however, I currently have
the target set to "_blank" which is not what I want.
Rather than opening the .php file open in a new window, I
just want to go to a new frame (labeled "success" or "error")
within my flash file (which currently works fine)
So, my question is how do I send the form information to my
php file WITHOUT having to open a new window outside of my flash
file since I'm sending the user to new frame instead.
FYI: I've already tried removing "_blank" but it still opens
the php file in a new browser window.
My code below:
on (release){
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.fullName = fullName_txt.text;
my_lv.email = email_txt.text;
my_lv.emailMessage = emailMessage_txt.text;
if(fullName_txt.text != "" && email_txt.text != ""
&& emailMessage_txt.text != "") {
my_lv.send("contact.php","_blank","POST");
gotoAndStop("success");
else {
gotoAndStop("error");
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Yvonne

Thanks for your help, Zupko.
I tried your suggestion but I'm still experiencing the same
problem. A new window still opens. Perhaps I'm doing something
wrong?
My code with your suggestion below:
on (release){
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.fullName = fullName_txt.text;
my_lv.email = email_txt.text;
my_lv.emailMessage = emailMessage_txt.text;
if(fullName_txt.text != "" && email_txt.text != ""
&& emailMessage_txt.text != "") {
loadVariables("contact.php","POST");
gotoAndStop("success");
else {
gotoAndStop("error");
Your help is very much appreciated!
Yvonne

I'm Still having problems with my contact form, can someone look at it and help me?

http://www.alpenawebdesigns.com
when I try and submit my contact form I get a 404 error something about a port 80 (I'm using port 21) I use Godaddy as a host and this contact form works in another program
http://www.bayviewdropincenter.org
can someone look at these and tell me what is the problem?
Also is there a user group in the Alpena Mi area?

The requested URL /form-to-email.php was not found on this server. Did you upload the script?
Also, please take my URL out of your footer code. Thanks.
<div id="footer">
<p>© 2012 <a href="http://alt-web.com/">Alpena Web Designs</a> all rights reserved.</p>
</div>
Finally, validate your code. You're missing a closing </div> tag for your header.

Site messed up after adding Contact form.

The site is online in its current state: http://www.wientjesvoegwerk.nl/index.html
The site uses (X)HTML, JAVA, PHP and Spry tabbed panels with a CSS layout.
The current state has:
<?php include("mail.php"); ?>
Before the Doctype, etc.
<?php $xajax->printJavascript('xajax/'); ?>
In the header.
But adding:
<?php echo '<div id="contact_result">'.$form.'</div>'; ?>
to the div where i want to put the mailing form results in problems...
If i add that last line my footer will go up to the header. and i dont know why...
The new code from the form that messes up the site is marked in red.
The HTML:
<?php include("mail.php"); ?>

<p>Vaak wordt er bij het kopen van een woning weinig aandacht besteed aan het voegwerk. Er wordt alleen gekeken naar hoe een woning is gebouwd.<br />Een voeg bepaalt echter wel het aanzicht van een woning. Van een goed aangebrachte voeg heeft u uiteraard veel langer plezier. <br />Renovatie bestaat voornamelijk uit het uitslijpen of kappen van het oude voegwerk. Waar nodig het verwijderen van scheuren die zijn ontstaan door:</p>
<ul>
    <li>
      <p>
        Verzakking van de fundering
      </p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>
        Slecht voegwerk
      </p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>
        Vorstschade
      </p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>
        Doorhangen of ontbreken van ...
      </p>
    </li>
</ul>
<p>Bij gevelvervuiling van uw woning kunnen er problemen ontstaan die het wooncomfort negatief kunnen beïnvloeden.<br />Wanneer de voeg is aangetast of het metselwerk is door vorstschade beschadigd, kunnen er vochtproblemen in huis ontstaan.<br />Mos en alg hechten zich goed aan beschadigde stenen en voegwerk. <br /><br />Door middel van impregnering wordt een woning waterafstotend gemaakt.<br />Dit betekent dat het voeg- en metstelwerk jarenlang wordt beschermd tegen weersinvloeden. <br />Ook is impregnering beter voor de isolatie van de woning.</p>

?>
Also "class.phpmailer.php" and "xajax.inc.php" are obviously needed as well as some other files from those packages.
THE BIG PROBLEMS:
1. Adding the form to a div (into content div of Spry tabbed panels) results in wrong apearance.
     Footer is put to top.
2. Adding the form to a div results in broken functions.
     Buttons in the Spry tabs dont work anymore.
3. Java is messed up.
     in top screen you read: printJavascript('xajax/'); ?>
     in lower screen in content div: test2 test3 (text from the 2nd and 3rd Content area of Spry, just so its filled with something) and '.$form.' '; ?>
SOLUTIONS ASKED:
1. Please help me with the contact form so it will work on my page and no error remains. Im not that good in Java...
2. Please help me solving the problem with the footer. I dont have any clue anymore why this happens. And why no problems occur without the mail form.
3. Can anyone tell me why the buttons also lose function? It looks like a similar problem as the footer.
In short: HELP!

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I must honestly say im a hobby programmer that has the capability to learn fast.
A few weeks ago i only knew html, actionscript, etc. I never worked with xhtml, javascript, css, etc. untill now.
But with some help i managed to resolve ALL problems so far, exept 2...
My site has no errors anymore all files are validated 100%!
The only 2 problems now are;
     1.     The use of <li> for Spry tabs. They make the buttons have a dot in front of them. I hope this can be changed into something that removes the
             list dots/numbers.
So from this:
button
to this:
button
     2.     I like to use this email form from: http://www.webbyzone.com/2010/01/10/make-xajax-phpmailer-contact-forms-work/
The code is embedded in my site but doesnt work at all. Please take a look at it...

My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget

My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget that I can not figure out how to correct.
I created a website for a client and inserted a Contact Form widget on their 'Contact Us' page. Whenever anyone uses the form, the e-mail my client receive shows my e-mail address as the sender. So, when they 'reply' to the e-mail, the reply is sent to me and not the person who sent the original message. This creates a major problem in that I get barraged with e-mail replies while my client's potential customers go without a response.
When I look at 'Site Manager > System E-Mails > Workflow Information > E-mail From Address' on the site's Admin Console, it shows my e-mail information. Is this is what needs to be changed? If it is, what needs to be placed in that field so that the e-mail my client receives shows the senders e-mail information in the 'From' field. My client wants to be able to click reply and have the message sent to the right party. They would be very upset if they have to cut and past the senders e-mail address from the body text on every contact they receive.
Their feeling is that if I can't find a way to make the contact form work the way it should, then it's useless to them.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I really don't want to disappoint my first client.

Are you on a plan that has the CRM feature that stores your customers' data? If so, the idea of the contact form is that you'll receive a notification that there's been an inquiry filled out on your contact form and there should be a link in that email notification that leads to the "Case" that was created when that customer filled out a contact form. You can click that link and visit the case for that customer in your BC site and reply to them from there so that all of the correspondence is logged in the CRM for safe-keeping and for your records.
If your client finds this is too much work to login to BC to reply every time, then you should check to see if you have the "Customer Service Ticketing" feature on your hosting plan. This is a feature where you create a dedicated email account (like [email protected]) and the BC system will automatically login to that email account and pull any emails in that inbox and convert them to a customer case for the sender of the email and then it will send out a notification via email to any of the BC Admin users you delegate as "Customer Service Agents". Since the CST integrates with the BC CRM it lets you reply directly within the email-- but when you reply it will be going to that same email address dedicated to the CST but once the CST service checks your email again and sees that you replied to this inquiry it will log your reply against the customer's case and sends your reply via email back to them so that all the correspondance gets logged on BC's CRM but you can still reply via email.
There's no way to use the default web forms to update the "From" or "Reply-To" address.. it must come from an approved email address to avoid spam issues. On most web services you cannot change the "from" address anyway but usually you can at least specify the "Reply-To" address so that when someone hits "reply" in their email client it will reply to whoever you setup as the "Reply-To" address.
Here's some more information about CST: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/customer-service-ticketing.html?bc-partner
I don't think the CST feature is in the webMarketing BC plan-- I think it's only in the webCommerce plan so if you have less than an webCommerce plan you have to tell your client to reply through BC by clicking the link in the notification they get. You can justify it by saying its one or two more steps but it keeps the entire convo on record in their CRM for easy referral later.
