PHP Contact Form Does Not Capture Email and Name

[fcuk89]

Hi,

Sorry for my noobness in PHP. I am still figuring out how to fix this small simple PHP contact form fix. Hope that you can teach me please.

When the form is filled up, I can't know the sender's name and email address. Hence, when I hit the reply, I don't know what is the sender's email and his name.

Many thanks in advance.

HTML Code

	<table width="89%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
	<tr>
	      <td height="58" valign="top"><img src="image/contact/feed_form.png" width="109" height="42"></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	
	<td height="254" valign="top">
	<form name="form1" method="post" action="mail.php" onSubmit="return isValidEmail(this)">
	<table height="78%">
	<tr>
        <td width="310" height="40" align="left" valign="top">
        <input type="text" name="name" style="width: 290px; height: 30px; padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;" placeholder="Your name" >
        </td>
    </tr>
	<tr>
		          <td height="39" valign="top" align="left"> <input name="email" type="text" style="width: 290px; height: 30px; padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;" placeholder="Your email" /></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	              <td height="110" valign="top"><textarea name="message" style="width: 290px; height: 100px; padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;"></textarea></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td height="52" align="right" valign="top"><input type="submit" style="width: 100px; height: 50px;" value="Send"/></td>
	</tr>
			

</table>

PHP Code

<?php header("Refresh: 3;url=contact.html"); ?>
<?php $to = "xxx@gmail.com"; $name = $_REQUEST['name']; $subject = "Feedback from customer ".$name."!"; 
$email = $_REQUEST['mail'] ; 
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; $headers = "From: $email"; $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; 
if($sent) {print "Your mail was sent successfully. <br/>You will be redirected to the contact us page in 3 seconds"; } else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; } ?>

Nothing in your code is sending an email. Maybe there's more code that you didn't paste in?

(sorry, i just think i might be able to say this?)

I believe you need to put the code in mail().


Sorry if I'm wrong. I just want to try and help others .

<?php 
$to = "xxx@gmail.com"; $name = $_REQUEST['name']; $subject = "Feedback from customer ".$name."!"; 
$email = $_REQUEST['mail'] ; 
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; 
$headers = "From: $email"; 
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; // <-- right there
if($sent) {
   print "Your mail was sent successfully. <br/>You will be redirected to the contact us page in 3 seconds"; 
} else {
   print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; 
} 
?>

He is using mail(), guys.

You're not sending successfully because you're looking for 'mail' when the name of the field in the form was 'email'. Use $_REQUEST['email'] and not $_REQUEST['mail'] (actually, I would avoid using $_REQUEST at all - use the $_POST superglobal, since your form is submitting via POST - but it will work either way).

Yeah, you're right, I completely overlooked it.

Adrian's code is correct, except you want to add in Reply-To into your header so that when you hit the 'Reply' button, it replies to the specified email.

This should work:

<?php 
$to = "xxx@gmail.com"; $name = $_REQUEST['name']; $subject = "Feedback from customer ".$name."!"; 
$email = $_REQUEST['mail'] ; 
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; 
$headers = "From: $email\r\nReply-To: ".$email; 
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; // <-- right there
if($sent) {
   print "Your mail was sent successfully. <br/>You will be redirected to the contact us page in 3 seconds"; 
} else {
   print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; 
} 
?>
