Contact Us Form in PHP

Can someone point me to a free php code to create a contact us form in php? Currently my site is using asp but we are thinking of moving hosting providers and i do not want to limit our options. So I want to create a php version of our contact us page in case we move to a linux server. Right now our asp contact us form just sends us a text email with the form data. it has validation of the forms fields. it is not hooked into any databases. And I have no clue how to set up database up anyhow.

The optimum php code would send 2 emails. One to the user thanking or confirming their request and the other to us with the form information. But as long as it send us the form information that is all we really need.

 

I use this, I xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx my settings so just replace with your own. Also, you might want to remove the color formatting I added because I run a dark theme.

You can see the form here:
http://www.moddedmustangs.com/contact-us/

It'll send the email to whatever address you specify, and give the user a confirmation that the email has been sent. Either put this code where you want the form to be, or put it in a separate file and call it with an includes.

<?php

/**
 * Change the email address to your own.
 *
 * $empty_fields_message and $thankyou_message can be changed
 * if you wish.
 */

// Change to your own email address
$your_email = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

// This is what is displayed in the email subject line
// Change it if you want
$subject = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

// This is displayed if all the fields are not filled in
$empty_fields_message = "<p>Please go back and complete all the fields in the form.</p>";

// This is displayed when the email has been sent
$thankyou_message = "<p>Thank you. Your message has been sent to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.</p>";

// You do not need to edit below this line

$name = stripslashes($_POST['txtName']);
$email = stripslashes($_POST['txtEmail']);
$message = stripslashes($_POST['txtMessage']);

if (!isset($_POST['txtName'])) {

?>

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>">

    <p align="center"><label for="txtName">Your Name:</label><br />
    <input type="text"  style="color:#000000" title="Enter your name" name="txtName" /></p><br />

    <p align="center"><label for="txtEmail">Your Email:</label><br />
    <input  type="text"  style="color:#000000" title="Enter your email address" name="txtEmail" /></p><br />

    <p align="center"><label for="txtMessage">Your message:</label><br />
    <textarea  title="Enter your message" name="txtMessage"></textarea></p><br />

    <p align="center"><label title="Send your message">
    <input type="submit" style="color:#000000" value="Send Email" /></label></p><br />

</form>

<?php

}

elseif (empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($message)) {

    echo $empty_fields_message;

}

else {

    // Stop the form being used from an external URL
    // Get the referring URL
    $referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
    // Get the URL of this page
    $this_url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
    // If the referring URL and the URL of this page don't match then
    // display a message and don't send the email.
    if ($referer != $this_url) {
        echo "You do not have permission to use this script from another URL, nice hacking attempt moron.";
        exit;
    }

    // The URLs matched so send the email
    mail($your_email, $subject, $message, "From: $name <$email>");

    // Display the thankyou message
    echo $thankyou_message;
    
}

?>

Hi I'm having some trouble modifying this relatively simple form.

I'm trying to add 2 new fields to this: txtVersion and txtType but when I added the fields to the php part of the it at the bottom :

 // The URLs matched so send the email
    mail($your_email, $subject, $type, $version, $message,"From: $name <$email>");

Code (markup):

It doesn't send the email, can someone tell me what's wrong with this and reply with the potential fixes as I've been working on this for 3 hours or so and just can't get it to work? Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Full form :

<?php

$your_email = "pspcrazy@pspcrazy.com";

// This is what is displayed in the email subject line
// Change it if you want
$subject = "PSPFansite Contact Us Question";

// This is displayed if all the fields are not filled in
$empty_fields_message = "<p>Please go back and complete all the fields in the form.</p>";

// This is displayed when the email has been sent
$thankyou_message = "<p><strong>Thank you. Your message has been sent to PSPFansite.</strong></p>";

$name = stripslashes($_POST['txtName']);
$email = stripslashes($_POST['txtEmail']);
$version = stripslashes($_POST['txtVersion']);
$type = stripslashes($_POST['txtType']);
$message = stripslashes($_POST['txtMessage']);

if (!isset($_POST['txtName'])) {

}
return $spam;
}
?>

 

i dont think so this will get a proper result

 

LOL
why tell them?
"You do not have permission to use this script from another URL, nice hacking attempt moron."
LOL that will just make them work harder,
I would go with
opps we had an error please message try again
after 5 tries they will get boarded and move on ;-)

 

Because the mail() function is

mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )
and you're giving it
mail ( string $to , string $subject , <some string here that's the message>,<some string here that's supposed to be formatted as a header>, string $message <that should be formatted as a header>)

Try
mail($your_email, $subject, $type."\r\n".$version."\r\n".$message,"From: $name <$email>");

 

Thanks for sharing such nice script.

 

I agree, messages like that are just an invitation for more trouble. Never goad people unless you enjoy constant exploit attacks.

 

Excaly this might be the error
try putting

mail('testmail@test.com', 'test sub' , ' test msg');
and look if it works.
