Php Emailer/contact System An email or contact system for your site

[maddog39 0]

Hello all,

 

Here is an easy Emailer or Contact system that allows visitors or members of your site to email you just by filling out a form. So here is what you need to do to set it up.

First open up a new page in your text editor and paste in the following code.

<?php$Name = $_POST['Name'];$Subject = $_POST['Subject'];$Email = $_POST['Email'];$Site = $_POST['Site']; $Message=$_POST['Message'];$align = $_POST['align'];$to = "$EmailTo";$subject = "$Subject";$body = "$Message\n\n\n$Site\nBy: $Name";$headers = "From: $Email\n";mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);// After they've clicked "Send", this is where they are going... Change it to where you want them to go.header("Location: sent.htm");?>

then save this file as mailform.php

Next open up another new page in your text editor and paste in the following code.

<form action="mailform.php" method="post"><input type=hidden name=EmailTo value="You@mail.com"> <!-- // Change to your email address // -->Your Name: <input type=text name=Name><br>Subject: <input type=text name=Subject><br>Your Email: <input type=text name=Email><br>Your Site: <input type=text name=Site><br>Message: <br><textarea name=Message rows=6 cols=30></textarea><br><input type=submit value="Send"> <input type=reset value="Reset"></form>

then save that page as contact.htm

For the the last page, open up a new page in your text editor and paste in this code.

<p>Your message has been sent to the webmaster. You should recieve a reply shortly. </p><p><a href="index.php" target="_self">Go Back To Index?</a></p>

and then save that page as sent.htm

Upload all of the files to your server and your done.

 

*Also note that you can just take the code from 'contact.htm' and put it in another of your webpages on your site and do whatever you want with it but dont do anything with the other files or code unless you really know what your doing.

 

Comments are always appreciated and enjoy!

Couldn't we also use the CGI bin? That would seem easier for me

does this work for anybody or do you have to have certain things enabled in php on your server?

I think it will work on any server. Anyways, you can use some built-in scripts like form mailers in cPanel. I love your Avatar. Where did you get it?

Thanks, i was looking for something like this for a long time. I embedded your code and it seems to work perfectly on my site.

Yes this script is completley self contained and it doesnt need anything special. I havnt seen any mailer scripts in cPanel. Plus perl scripts are a pain in the butt. I like my script alot better.

That'd good, I will use it when I get my hosting, I'm still slowly making my way up there though...

[GM-University 0]

Wow, nice scripts, I too will use them when my hosting is renewed, I will have to try to find a nice purpose of course though, what kind of graphics are displayed with this, you should work on a version where you can add backrounds and stuff. Nice work!

Theres nothing, just forms. But if I do-do something fancy it will be copyrighted and stuff. I will have restrictions to and it will be under the GPL lisence like my other PHP Programs.

Thats overly long and completcated. Mine works fine and I dont see the point in doing what your saying. Just having it the way I have it is alot simpler to understand.

What version of PHP is the person using? I think the $_GLOBALS function is old. I think the person behind the script is creating a PHP Script from PHP 3.

[maddog39 0]

Yeah im learning from a PHP 5 book and some of that stuff doesnt look familar to me. I think its PHP 3 also.
