PHP Email form, need help...

Heya,
I have a flash form that uses PHP to send the data to an
email, but it causes all of the data to display on the same line
with no spaces when recieved via email, can anyone help? Thanks!
Code:
<?php
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Contact Form from Cabinet Source Website";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"] ." ". $_POST["phone"] .
"<" . $_POST["comments"] .">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["name"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["name"];
$message = $_POST["comments"];
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

As bregent says, the names of the variables you're assigning at the top of the script don't match the variables that you're adding to the $body.
Another problem is that you're using lowercase for the $_POST array. For example, you have $_post['gt']. PHP is case-sensitive. It should be $_POST['gt'].
Even when you get those problems sorted out, the script is extremely insecure because you're not checking any of the values submitted. In particular, you're assigning the value of the 'gt' input field to the From: header. This will lay the form wide open to attack by spammers. (Google for "email header injection" to understand the problem.)
If you want to put a value from the form into the headers, you must first make sure it's safe. For example, I see that gt is meant to be an Xbox Live gamertag. Assuming it must contain only letters and numbers, you should sanitize it like this before inserting it into the headers:
$gt = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'gt', FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP, array('options' => array('regexp' => '/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/')));

    > I made a PHP email form and i was wondering if i did it
    correct. I try to send
    >a email but for some reason it wont work here is the PHP
    code:
    Next time please be more specific. "won't work" isn't really
    helpful.
    Anyway, the first thing to fix is the error reporting on your
    testing
    server, obviously it's not configured properly. In your
    php.ini these
    directives have to be set:
    error_reporting = E_ALL|E_STRICT
    display_errors = on
    You should get some notices from your script. After fixing
    those issues,
    you should also read about header injection and how to
    prevent it. Your
    script is vulnerable and can be abused for sending spam. Also
    consider
    to use a class like PHPMailer to make things more secure and
    convenient.
    Some further notes about your form markup:
    * It's very good that you make use of labels for your form
    controls, but
    in some cases the IDs of these controls contain spaces, which
    is not
    allowed.
    * You don't really need a label for a submit button.
    * Consider to drop all those div elements in the table
    headers - you
    don't need them. Use CSS to style the labels the way you
    want, e.g.
    form th {text-align: right}
    I also use this:
    label:hover {outline: 1px dotted #666}
    * Check the markup of the "Name" row. The 'scope' attribute
    is incorrect
    and the form control should be inside a 'td', not a 'th'.

  • PHP email form checkbox values?

    Hello,
    I'm creating a php email form which part of it consists of a few checkboxes that I need to get the values of. My php knowledge isn't that great therefore I used a tutorial to successfully create the bulk of the form.
    I currently have 7 checkboxes set up as such:
    <input type="checkbox" id="grade_5" name="grade[]" value="Grade 5" />
    Each of these are named "grade[]" to be stored in an array called "grade".
    I know that the values are successfully stored in the array as they show up in the browser when I echo the array.
    $grade = $_POST['grade'];
    $N = count($grade);
    for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++) {
         echo($grade[$i] . " ");
    So, the part I am having trouble with is getting the values to show up in the body of the email.
    $body = "
    Grade Level(s): $grade
    All that is returned in this case is the word "Array" instead of the desired checked grade values.
    Any help is much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
    *Note: All other values (textboxes, selection dropdowns, etc.) are already successfully sent to the email.

    That's because $grade is an array. If you want to access the values, you need to use a loop. Alternatively, use implode() to turn it into a comma-separated string, like this:
    $grade = implode(', ', $grade);

  • Need help adapting David Powers PHP email form script please!

    Hi all,
    I'm fairly inexperienced with PHP and I'm trying to adapt the David Powers email form script from THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO DREAMWEAVER CS4 WITH CSS, AJAX, AND PHP.
    I've created a basic form so that visitors to the site can request a telephone call back from the site owner. The form asks the visitor for their name, telephone number and to select a time of day suitable for the telephone call to be made using radio buttons selecting between morning and afternoon.
    I'd like to achieve my goal with minimal validation error messages and would like to redirect to another page when a message is sent successfully. It is also important that in the spirit of the David Powers script I'm trying to work with, that it filters out suspect input, avoids email header injection attacks and blocks submission by spam bots.
    There may be a really simple solution to this since I don't want users to be able to enter an email address at all but I don't know enough to be able to figure it out just yet.
    I'd be grateful for any advice.
    See below for the code for the form including PHP so far...
    Thanks to everyone looking in in advance
    Karl.

    Don't use $_SESSION[MM_Username]. Use $loginUsername instead.

  • Flash 8 AS and PHP email form

    Hi,
    I am finally finding some time over the holidays to work on
    my website flash email form. I have had some wonderful help from
    kglad and Chris a couple of months ago. I will attach my AS2 code
    first and then my PHP code I have recieved from Yahoo. (Our hosting
    server for the website).
    I keep getting my error message of... "Sorry, there was a
    server error, please try again."
    I also have specified the default mail account within my
    yahoo small business web account under PHP/Perl Mail Setup
    [email protected] as the Default.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in
    advance!

    Let me prefix this by saying...
    I haven't used an email script directly... I've always used
    an intemediate function when I've been doing things like this
    through a CMS or whatever.. so that's my way of saying I'm not sure
    of this...
    But
    I see two potential things with the mail function based on
    the php docs.
    1. the msg string.
    According to this:
    Each line should be separated with a LF (\n). Lines should
    not be larger than 70 characters.
    You don't seem to have that. I know its html formatted... but
    perhaps you should put the LF chars in.
    2. This is probably far less likely and only try it after the
    first option above (I'm guessing this is very rare):
    For your message headers where you have \r\n
    Note: If messages are not received, try using a LF (\n) only.
    Some poor quality Unix mail transfer agents replace LF by CRLF
    automatically (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF is used). This
    should be a last resort, as it does not comply with » RFC
    2822.

  • Help with ActionScript/PHP email form

    Hey guys, hope someone can help me out with this!
    Haven't programmed in a while, but a friend asked me to look
    at this and figure out why it isn't working. It's a simple form,
    with the text boxes labeled inTxt_1, inTxt_2 ..... inTxt_13.
    The ActionScript looks like this ...
    Code:
    submit.onRelease = function () {
    var loadv = new LoadVars();
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_1 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_1.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_2 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_2.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_3 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_3.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_4 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_4.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_5 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_5.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_6 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_6.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_7 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_7.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_8 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_8.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_9 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_9.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_10 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_10.text;
    loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_11 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_11.text;
    loadv.send("email.php",loadv,"POST");
    (Quick question ... why is the _level0.mc1 part needed? Or is
    it even required?)
    Here's the PHP ...
    Code:
    <?php
    $To = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "site reply";
    $Name = $_POST["inTxt_1"];
    $Email = $_POST["inTxt_2"];
    $Company = $_POST["inTxt_3"];
    $Position = $_POST["inTxt_4"];
    $Address = $_POST["inTxt_5"];
    $Address1 = $_POST["inTxt_6"];
    $Address2 = $_POST["inTxt_7"];
    $ZipCode = $_POST["inTxt_8"];
    $Country = $_POST["inTxt_9"];
    $Tel = $_POST["inTxt_10"];
    $Enquiry = $_POST["enquiry"];
    $Comments = $_POST["inTxt_11"];
    \$headers = "From: " . $_POST["inTxt_1"]. "<" .
    $_POST["inTxt_2"] .">\r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["inTxt_2"] . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["inTxt_2"];
    $message = "Name: $Name\n";
    $message .= "Position: $Position\n";
    $message .= "Company: $Company\n";
    $message .= "Email: $Email\n";
    $message .= "Address: $Address\n";
    $message .= "Address1: $Address1\n";
    $message .= "Address2: $Address2\n";
    $message .= "Zip Code: $ZipCode\n";
    $message .= "Country: $Country\n";
    $message .= "Enquiry: $Enquiry\n";
    $message .= "Phone: $Tel\n";
    $message .= "Comments: $Comments\n";
    mail($To, $subject, $message, $headers);
    Print "Your mail has been sent";
    ?>
    (Another question - why does the one $headers line have a /
    infront of it? Should it be there?)
    Now when I submit it, "Your mail has been sent" appears on
    the screen, but I don't receive an e-mail. Can anyone help me??
    Thanks so much!!

  • Php email form

    I'm sending a php form to an email address. The form does
    send to my email and a message sent page is working for the user
    filling in the form. However, I need to put the name, address, and
    phone number included with the message that is sent to the e-mail.
    This is the code that I am using:
    <?php
    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
    $body = $_POST['body'];
    $headers = "From: [email protected]" .
    $_POST['[email protected]'] . "\n";
    mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
    ?>
    I've tried putting $name = $_POST['name']; in the code, put
    it doesn't seem to work. Is something like this possible. If so,
    where do I add the code so I can include more information on the
    form (name, address and phone number)?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    A simpler way would be to just use successive concatenation
    rather than
    heredoc, at least I think. Use this -
    > $reply_message_subject = $_POST['subject'];//Subject of
    new message from
    > form
    > $reply_message_body = $_POST['body'];//Body of new
    message from form add
    > all
    > the text you want and links
    Then use this -
    $reply_message_body .= "\n\rName = ".$_POST['name'];
    $reply_message_body .= "\n\rnickname = ".$_POST['nickname'];
    $reply_message_body .= "\n\rdog-name = ".$_POST['dog-name'];
    etc., etc., etc.

    </form>
    It seems pretty simple.. but it's not working at all. I would also like this page to submit to it's self, and when it actually does send an email, to just make the form disappear and replace it with the thank you text instead of sending you to another page. I also do not need to use an smtp server, it goes directly to the network server when sent.
    I'm really sorry to ask all of this, I'm trying to learn this language and need to make this work.
    Thank you for anyones help in advance.

    You can't do bold text in a normal email. Plain text is just
    that -
    plain text. For anything more you need HTML. _If_ you should
    need it.
    Usually plain text serves pretty well and is the most
    efficient way.

    You would have to create an entire HTML email with all the
    required
    headers and boundaries. Quite difficult to do by hand with
    PHP's mail()
    function.

    Then you should start simple with plain text. There are some
    classes out
    there which make it easy to generate text and HTML emails
    (phpmailer for
    example), but you should be familiar with PHP coding if you
    want to use
    them.

  • Simple php email form, on X-serve 10.39 unlimited

    hello! thank you for looking at this.
    i'm being asked to add a contact form to my company's website. i'm not a designer or anything. i'm just feeling my way through things barely.
    i've implemented this code on the site: http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php
    things seem to be working ok, except a test email is never recieved in the end. i excpe this is something with the server side handling of the email parts of the code.
    but i have almost no clue about what to check on the server to fix this.
    i realize there are problably other threads that could maybe help me, but i know very little and thought it might be faster to post a new thread, because the boss wants this done tomorrow.
    i am using server admin 10.3 v106, 2003
    thanks for any help!

    it looks like i'm running php 4.4.7
    one of my concerns is that this version might be too old to handle the script.

  • Php email form with styling

    Hi
    I have a php file which generates an email from a form in a
    website I have designed. I just want to make some areas of the
    final generated email in bold text. I know if people have plain
    text only selected in their email client they won't see the bold
    text, but at least it will reach a certain percentage of users.
    the line in question is -
    $body ="Booking request details from website:\n\n";
    I have tried putting <b></b> and
    <strong></strong>, inside the inverted commas, outside
    etc, plus tried different declarations within the <head>,
    nothing works! What am I doing wrong?
    I am a beginner with this php stuff, please be kind!
    Thanks

  • Emailing multiple individual photos from iPhoto is causing the same image to be on different emails. Need help!

    I am using iPhoto to edit my pictures from my Canon 60d. As I edit the photos, I send them by email within iPhoto (using the Large setting) to several members of my family. Last night I sent about 20 different pictures with different descriptive titles in the email to multiple people. However, when they view them in their email on their iPhones, it is showing the first picture over and over again, no matter what the title of the email says the photo is. It is even stretching the picture to either landscape or portrait depending on the view of the different pics in each email themselves but is still showing the same pic no matter the orientation.
    I need to figure out if this is a bug with iPhoto and iPhone or if I need to do something different. You would think if you choose an image and email it, it would be THAT image. It only began within the last two weeks or so but it has been consistent when emailing multiple single photos. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    Greetings,
    I've seen this issue myself between iPhoto and an iOS device.  It appears to be an issue with the how the iOS device sees the email templates used by iPhoto '11's built in email feature.
    Suggestions:
    Let Apple know you have this issue: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
    Go to iPhoto > Preferences > General > Email photos using > MailThis will bypass the email templates and send your images directly from the Apple Mail program.  You won't have the pretty templates, but the images will come through (which is the important part in my opinion).
    Keep your software up to date on your computer and on your iOS devices. (If / when a fix comes, that's how you'll get it.)
    Cheers.

  • PHP email form - issue with who it's from

    Hi,
    I've got a referral page on my site where the user puts in their details and a friends details and the form fires off a email to the friend. The form is in HTML and posts it to a PHP file. The problem is I get in the email for who it's from:
    from
    "Scott Bradshaw"@server74.ukservers.net
    I don't want the
    @server74.ukservers.net
    in their.
    Is this an issue with PHP files and forms or is their a way round it? I know I could do a mailto: form but don't want to. What are my options?

    if (!$validationOK) {

    $Body2 .= "\n";
    // send email
    $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: $EmailFrom<$EmailFrom>");
    mail("[email protected]", "Referral details", $Body2, "From: [email protected]");
    // redirect to success page
    if ($success){
      print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thankyou2.html\">";
    else{
      print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
    ?>
    I've also got a feedback form thing too, the script above wouldn't work for it I guess as it's protecting against different thing but what's the best way to protect the feedback form? I've heard of a honeypot thing where create hidden form field.
    Thanks, Scott
