Double-check a contact form

**katiebugla** · 10-02-2012, 02:57 PM

I borrowed this form from a previous website I "frankensteined" - my friend helped me with this script.... I was hoping to use it again for this website http://richieadams.com (click on contact)

Does all the documentation look correct, will this form work?

HTML Code:

 <div id="contactFormContainer" class="clearfix">
        <form action="email.php" method="POST" class="form" id="contactForm">
        <span class="hidden isSubmitted">Submitted</span>
          <label for="name">Name</label>
          <input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="validate[required,custom[onlyLetterSp],maxSize[30]] text-input" />
          <label for="email">Email</label>
          <input type="email" id="email" name="email" class="validate[required,custom[email]] text-input" />
          <label for="subject">Subject</label>
          <input type="text" id="subject" name="subject" class="validate[required,custom[onlyLetterSp],maxSize[40]] text-input" />
          <label for="message">Messsage</label>
          <textarea name=message id=message class="validate[required] text-input"></textarea><br />
          <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" class="submit">
          <input type="reset" value="Clear" name="clear" class="submit">
        </form>
      </div>

PHP Code:


<?php



require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';



// Set who is going to get the email

$to = 'info@rrc.la';



// Set the subject.  This is being pulled from posted form

$subject = $_POST['subject'];

$from = $_POST['email'];

$name = $_POST['name'];

$message = $_POST['message'];

$date = date("F j, Y, g:i a", strtotime('2 hours'));



$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()



  ->setSubject('RRC.LA Contact Form: ' . $subject)



  //Set the From address with an associative array

  ->setFrom(array($from => $name))



  //Set the To addresses with an associative array

  ->setTo(array($to))



  //Give it a body

  ->setBody("Subject: $subject \n From: $name \n Message: $message \n\n timestamp: $date")



  //And optionally an alternative body

  ->addPart("<h3>RRC.LA Contact Form</h3><b>Subject:</b> $subject <br /><br /> <b>From:</b> $name <br /><br /> <b>Message:</b> $message <br /><br /><br /><i>timestamp: $date", 'text/html')

  ;



$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();



$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);



$result = $mailer->send($message);



$host  = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

$uri   = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');

$extra = 'contact.html#submitted';

header("Location: http://$host$uri/$extra");

did you test it?

**katiebugla** · 10-02-2012, 07:09 PM

I just tested it and am waiting for my boss to let me know if he got the test email or not... I have a white page after hitting submit. I thought there was something in the PHP to have it load the same page, but with "submitted" in the contact form box.

**bernie1227** · 10-02-2012, 11:04 PM

It looks alright, when it is submitted, it should go to a page called email.php which might be blank. Only now thing, in add
Art, you forgot to end an <I> tag.

**katiebugla** · 10-03-2012, 02:43 PM

Where is this <i> tag? I apologize for my ignorance. Also, it would seem that a) my boss did not receive the TEST email and b) I am not sure how to program the page to populate the way it did on the other site, see http://riverroadcreative.co/contact.html... I need it to work like that and I'm not sure what I am doing/doing wrong. Thank you.

**bernie1227** · 10-04-2012, 12:18 AM

the <i> tag is here:

Code:

  //And optionally an alternative body 
  ->addPart("<h3>RRC.LA Contact Form</h3><b>Subject:</b> $subject <br /><br /> <b>From:</b> $name <br /><br /> <b>Message:</b> $message <br /><br /><br /><i>timestamp: $date", 'text/html')
   ;

another point, is that the whole code? Because there is no php ending (?>).

I would put in some trouble shooting code there, ie printing some variables and seeing if they come up, ie:

PHP Code:


<?php 

require_once 'lib/swift_required.php'; 

// Set who is going to get the email 
$to = 'info@rrc.la'; 

// Set the subject.  This is being pulled from posted form 
$subject = $_POST['subject']; 
$from = $_POST['email']; 
$name = $_POST['name']; 
$message = $_POST['message']; 
$date = date("F j, Y, g:i a", strtotime('2 hours'));

[color=red]
echo $subject; // troubleshooting code
echo $from;
echo $name;
echo $message;
echo $date;
[/color] 

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance() 

  ->setSubject('RRC.LA Contact Form: ' . $subject) 

  //Set the From address with an associative array 
  ->setFrom(array($from => $name)) 

  //Set the To addresses with an associative array 
  ->setTo(array($to)) 

  //Give it a body 
  ->setBody("Subject: $subject \n From: $name \n Message: $message \n\n timestamp: $date")
 
  //And optionally an alternative body 
  ->addPart("<h3>RRC.LA Contact Form</h3><b>Subject:</b> $subject <br /><br /> <b>From:</b> $name <br /><br /> <b>Message:</b> $message <br /><br /><br /><i>timestamp: $date", 'text/html')
   ; 

$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance(); 

$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport); 

$result = $mailer->send($message); 

$host  = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; 
$uri   = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\'); 
$extra = 'contact.html#submitted'; 
header("Location: http://$host$uri/$extra"); 
?>

if that echos the variables, then it must be a problem with the mailing system.

Unfortunately, I don't really know PHP, so the lingo is over my head... I don't understand the suggestion or what it is would do. Can you dumb it down for me? I'm sorry.

**katiebugla** · 10-04-2012, 04:16 PM

I think I am getting closer, see richieadams.com (click contact) - However, when I submit I get a white page.

**katiebugla** · 10-04-2012, 05:12 PM

I'm now a little concerned that neither site is actually forwarding the contact form... I am so clueless at all of this. I really need help.

**katiebugla** · 10-04-2012, 06:25 PM

Ok, so I am no trying another form that another friend recommended, but i sent and got the message 'Thank you for the message. We will contact you shortly.' Which is hopeful... but I keep checking my email... nothing is coming in. Thoughts?:

Code:

form class="form" action="contact-form.php" method="post">
                <div class="move-over">
                  <h3>Name:</h3><input type="text" name="cf_name" value="" /><br />
                  
                  <h3>Email Address:</h3><input type="text" name="cf_email" value="" /><br />
                </div>
                <div class="move-over">
                  <h3>Message:</h3><textarea class="bigger" name="cf_message" value="" ></textarea><br />
                  <br />
                  <input type="submit" value="Send" />
                  <input type="reset" value="Clear" />
                </div>
            </form>

PHP Code:


<?php

$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];

$field_phone = $_POST['cf_phone'];

$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];

$field_message = $_POST['cf_message'];



$mail_to = 'katie@rrc.la';

$subject = 'Message from RA website';



$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";

$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";

$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;



$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";

$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";



$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);



if ($mail_status) { ?>

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

        alert('Thank you for the message. We will contact you shortly.');

        window.location = 'contact.html';

    </script>

<?php

}

else { ?>

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

        alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to katie@rrc.la');

        window.location = 'contact.html';

    </script>

<?php

}

?>
