PHP Form Filtering

Hey Guys,
I'm curious as to some of the best solutions to help filter out spamming through a php form. Should I add captcha? Is there another way? I want to be able to filter out the erroneous requests or advertising of selling email lists from the real customers trying to fill out the form.
Thanks for the help!

That's what I was more or less looking for; options. I looked at recaptcha.net and that seems like a viable option. I don't mind if users have to enter captcha characters. I'm assuming that filter class is a way to do it without captcha characters. It sounds like it's mainly coding on the server side that I would have to implement?

Need help with PHP form with checkboxes, radio buttons and file attachment

Hi guys,
I'm having a nightmare with this PHP form where a user can fill it in, attach a doc/pdf and submit. After trying to sort it out with previous code I've used, I've stripped it out and think I should just start again in the hope you geniuses can help!
Here is the HTML of contact.php:

By the way, the date boxes work so excuse the Javascript in there!
To prevent SPAM I've used a trick where there's a hidden URL field which must be left blank for the form to submit which you can see in the PHP.
Below is where I'm at with the PHP which is placed above the header of contact.php...
<?php
if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)) {
    $position = $_POST['position'];
    $arrive = $_POST['arrive'];
    $nationality = $_POST['nationality'];
    $parttime = $_POST['parttime'];
    $depart = $_POST['depart'];
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Recruitment Application";
$message = $headers;
$message .= "Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\r\n";
$message .= "E-mail: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: My Website <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$message= "
$url = stripslashes($_POST["url"]);
if (!empty($url)) {
header( 'Location: http://www.go-away-spam-robots.com' );
exit();
if (!isset($warning)) {
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header( 'Location: http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/sent.php' );
?>
I would like to make pretty much all the field compulsory so if a field is left empty (other than the hidden URL field), a warning message is displayed next to that field.
Also I would like the file upload field to attach to the email that is sent to me and have the results come through to me in a table format.
Can anyone help me get my form working?
Thank you and I hope to hear from you!

Hi Nancy,
Great stuff, thank you for the reply.
I've managed to get the Formm@iler working and running as I need it to.
The only thing I'm struggling with is when the user clicks submit, they are taken to a page of whatever results the form returned but it is just a white background with Times New Roman text.
How can I have it so the user is taken to the form results in the websites' page layout?
I tried sending them to a generic 'thank you' page by adding the following code but it just took them there whatever the results of the form so that's no good...! I have a feeling it's a bit more complicated than that...
header( 'Location: http://www.nofussbus.co.uk/test/sent.php' );
Thank you for your help!

Impossible to give you a better answer without knowing what

fragile.

Need to add senders email address into the subject header of my PHP form (somehow)

Hello one and all,
I have a PHP form which is working fine and sends our support team an email with the subject header 'Support'.
I have been asked to fix this form to include the senders email address into the Subject header so that the support team can filter them easier and reply quicker.
Any help would be very much appreciated indeed. The form code is below, let me know if you need the whole page.
Thanks in advance,
Bradley
My current form PHP part looks like this: (and the HTML part is below in blue)

Online php form (inserts) in pdf form and send via email

So first hello all.
There are 4 PDF Forms amd 4 php forms on a website.
The user should be able to fill out the php form, click on send and the inserts from the user should be stored in the pdf form and send to an email adress.
I know that there are 3rd party tools, the convert it to a image, draw the inserts and convert it back.
But i want to know, how to do it with acrobat itself.
Is there any way to put varaibles in the pdf where php can set (fill)
If this is impossible:
I have heard, that there is a server version from acrobat who can manage this.
The information about this is rarly like i dont understand how much the costs are.
First : price x (for the server software itself)
Second: price y (for every processed document)
Many thanks in advance

You cannot use Acrobat on a server in that manner. Acrobat is licensed for one user one system at a time.
You can create and FDF file with the form field data and use that data to fill-in a PDF. You needd to create a unique PDF that could be added to an email and then deleted. You could also accumulate the data in a database.

Can you auto-attach files in a PHP form?

Hi there,
Have been looking over everywhere for a solution to my problem. I am going to try and be as clear as I can about the problem.
I have had some experience making simple PHP forms that let the user put their name, email, subject and body text and send it in an email using the form.
But for a project I am currently undertaking - the client has requested a form that will pre-attach a particular document to the email when it is sent. All the user has to do is input the email address of the adressee and their name/email address and all the other fields are custom made (i.e. subject, body text) - and the email will be sent to the selected recepient with the file already attached.
I was envisaging the PHP script would collect the reference for a file that is already sitting on the web server and attach it in the function.
Is there anyway to do this? Because if it isn't I may as well tell the client to go and use outlook - because the web form will really have no purpose.
Thanks in advance

Hi have proceeded along the path of inserting links
into PHP generated email but I am having trouble in outputting the body message in HTML - All I get out
in the output email is the HTML tags with the text (plain text).
Did some research and found out that I have to determine the content type/charset.
I have tried to do this in my PHP but to no avail. Also I am not getting the email or name of the sender in the email that is generated....
Anyway, there is the PHP code (and it's not that tight but it works):
AND SOME DEFAULT TEXT THAT WILL CONTAIN LINKS TO NECESSARY FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
link to PDF '.$field_message; $headers = 'From: '.$cf_yremail."\r\n"; $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$cf_yremail."\r\n"; /* If your e-mail is not valid show error message */ if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $mail_to)) { ?>
Any help on this would be much appreciated....
Thanks

Code issue in php form - submit button not sending email

Created a form that was originally supposed to open up to 2 pages depending on what was clicked. Clear would send you to an error page, and submit would send you to a thank you page. Decided that was a waste and so did not create the html pages. BUT, wanted the form info for the contact page.
Here is the issue: it will not submit when submit is clicked. It clears when you click clear, but there's no email coming from the site via submit.
Do I need to edit the php form code if I don't want the other pages? I've looked at what I have but I don't see if there is a form error or anything here. Here is the code for anyone who wants to have a look. Thanks in advance.
<?php
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "EMAIL FROM WEP PAGE - CONTACT - ";
$EmailTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "EMAIL FROM jennylowhar.com - CONTACT -";
$name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
$telephone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['telephone']));
$email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));
$comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['comments']));
// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($name)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($email)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
exit;
// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "name: ";
$Body .= $name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "telephone: ";
$Body .= $telephone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "email: ";
$Body .= $email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "comments: ";
$Body .= $comments;
$Body .= "\n";
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thankyou.html\">";
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";
?>

I'm confused by that, but I know this works.
$fname=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['fname']);
$lname=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['lname']);
$title=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['title']);
$company=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['company']);
$street=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['street']);
$town=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['town']);
$zip=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['zip']);

$county=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['county']);
$phone=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['phone']);
$email=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['email']);
$comments=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['comments']);
$date=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['date']);
$time=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['time']);
$location=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['location']);
$from="$email";
$to="putemailhere";

. "Zip: $zip\n"
. "Telephone: $phone\n"
. "Email Address: $email\n"
. "Comments: $comments\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, 'From:' .$from);
PS, go back and edit your origial post and REMOVE your email.

Php form problem and question

I am a new web designer who is not code savey yet. Anyway
during the various sites i have designed i have used 3 different
forms that process and email it to me using a seperate php form, 1
in flash, 2 from a standard html form on a windows server. All have
been uploaded, to the site, tested and worked fine. 2 are in old
sites, one in my current site. Recently all 3 forms stopped working
and while they looked like they worked fine they no longer actually
sent anything. I had a big email arguement with my host and finally
they added this line into my php script "ini_set
("sendmail_from","[email protected]");" email address is example here
and they added another form to my site called "php4-cgi-fcgi.ini."
Then my curent form started working again. I haven't changed
anything, and of course the host never informed me of any changes.
So why did this need to be added for my form to work again? Does
this mean they upgraded to another version or something? Ihad a big
arguement with them because they refused to tell me what they did
that stopped all my forms from working, they kept acting like it
was me or my provider that caused the problem, when i am positive
we were not the problem. Any thoughts?

doing a google on "ini_set ("sendmail_from" gives a lot of
info.
summary- the form script you are using is probably not
setting a default
"FROM" email address, so the host has phpmail() reject it as
possible spam
abuse.
The .ini files the host added to your site correct the
problem. They change
values for php to use within your hosting domain.
What php script are you using to send the emails? It is
probably out of date
if it doesn't address this issue.
Off Topic: suggest never arguing with hosting support. Even
it the person at
the other end of the phone is an 18 year old drone not
earning their salt.
Move the site if needed. Develop social engineering skills to
get things
done.

Php form for unix server

Hellow to everybody i would like to know, witch files or
carpets do i need
to have
on a server unix to run a php form (method post, get).
I mean if a need to create a carpet example "cgi-bin", or if
a need
any archive similar "formail.pl" or what else,
thanks to anyone who can help me.

Have you ever work with a data-driven website in the past? If
so, what is specific data-driven app did you work with?
To get PHP working on your local machine, you need to install
PHP, MySQL and Apache web server all together. It is ideally
designed for local testing with your data-driven websites right
there on your local machine... once it is achieved, then, of course
you could upload the finished data-driven website over to your web
server for general public use or specific audience.
TO make this work, I suggest that you want to consider this
book called, "PHP for Dreamweaver 8," who authored by David Powers.
It is an excellent, excellent book. It covers many topics ranging
from setting up PHP, MySQL and Apache web servers and few other
important issues associated with installation of these apps on your
local machine (whether it is Windows XP-based or Macs), other
topics included how to build, develop and work with data-driven
websites and realize important issues that arise under those topics
discussed by the author.
As for installation of opensource applications (PHP, MySQL,
and Apache), it is a bit complicated, heavy-hand in order to make
it work. That is why I am recommending you to get this book.
I am curious, what Dreamweaver version you are working with?
And what system architecture?

PHP form to output in PDF

I was wondering if there is a php function or some type of
code where you can make a php form and when the user clicks on a
button it transfers their information to another page which opens
up and displays it in PDF in the web browser. I remember seeing
this done under Coldfusion MX, is there something similar for it in
PHP?

PHP Form Emailing Fields But No Data

Hello,
I am running into a little problem with my PHP form script. I am able to email my form and receive a message, however the message has no data, except for where I have check boxes. Can anyone help me solve this dilemma? Some of the code has been remove intentionally.
I will post my code:
<?php
/* Email Variables */
$emailSubject = ' Registration Form';
$webMaster = 'de';
/* Data Variables */
$registrationname = $_POST['registrationname'];
$registrationphone = $_POST['registrationphone'];
$registrationemail = $_POST['registrationemail'];
$registrationdistrict = $_POST['registrationdistrict'];
$registrationposition = $_POST['registrationposition'];
$onecredit = $_POST['onecredit'];
$twocredit = $_POST['twocredit'];
$threecredit = $_POST['threecredit'];
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name of Register: $registrationname <br>
Day Time Phone Number: $registrationphone <br>
Email Address of Register: $registrationemail <br>
Name of School District: $registrationdistrict <br>
Position/Job Title: $registrationposition <br>
Register for 1 Credit: Learning to Use the easyCBM Assessment System: $onecredit <br>
Register for 2 Credits: In-Depth Knowledge of the easyCBM Assessment System: $twocredit <br>
Register for 3 Credits: Enroll in Both of the Above Options: $threecredit <br>
EOD;
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body,
$headers);
/* Results rendered as HTML */
$theResults = <<<EOD
<html>
<head>
<title>sent message</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="6;URL=http://.html">
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<div align="center">Thank you! Your request has been sent.
You will return to the page in a few moments.</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EOD;
echo "$theResults";
?>

1) I would bring the line <cfoutput query="CheckUser"> lower down in the code, for example, just before the first table tag.
2)These are probably mistakes
<<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<input type="hidden" name="LogDate" value="Now()">
I think they should be
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<input type="hidden" name="LogDate" value="#Now()#">
3) You could revise the action page to:
<cfif isDefined("form.logDate")>
<cfinsert datasource="manna_premier" formfields="LogDate,TerritoryManager,Status,DSRName,ServiceName" tablename="TMStatusLog">
<cflocation url="mp_order_form.cfm">
</cfif>
The table TMStatusLog must of course have columns LogDate, TerritoryManager, Status, DSRName and ServiceName.

PHP Form mail

I used this script
http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/php-form-validation.php
to produce a form and everything worked fine on my site, which I
was using for testing. When I transferred over to the client's site
it doesn't send the email. The error and thank you messages work,
but no email. As I have heard that some hosts block some php files
with the name 'formmail' I called it something else.
I have checked and rechecked all the data and only my email
address and the URLs for the error and thank you pages had to be
changed, my email is correct, but still not email.
Any ideas as to what is happening and how I can get around it
please?

I have been sent the following information and code, but have
not succeeded in working out where to add it. The code I am using
is underneath. Many thanks
- to send emails through our servers you must comply with one
of the following rules
a. The sending email must be from your domain
b. The receiving email must be from your domain
This account could/should be [email protected]
- To avoid a wrong use of our scripts by spammers you must
had a line before you call the “mail” functionality
ini_set("sendmail_from", " [email protected] ");
- Please add to the email send code a functionality
“-f” in the fifth parameter of the function send mail
- This is the simple configuration of sending emails in php
<?php
ini_set("sendmail_from", [email protected]);
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers,

Php form processing script

Hi. I got a program to write a php form processing script. My submit form is for photo submission to my domain email. I published to site and did a test to see if it works i got this error:
Warning: require_once(F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot/includes/Upload_Photos-lib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot\Upload_Photos.php on line 24 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot/includes/Upload_Photos-lib.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot\Upload_Photos.php on line 24
What does this mean? How can i solve this so that i can process my form?

See if the below form helps: You need to create a folder on your server named - upload - this is where any files uploaded will be stored (make sure the folder is writable. Also change the email address where the information that someone who has uploaded a file will go to. Look for the following in the code: $to ="XXXXXXXXXXXX.com";
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

Is there anybody here that knows how to do php coding?
Yes, but you should post questions about PHP in the right forum: Dreamweaver Application Development. Also, don't just keep adding new questions to an old thread. Everything might seem related to you, but other people see a thread that has already received a lot of replies, and are likely to skip it unless they have already been involved. Take a look at this post about how to get help quickly.
