Simple contact form?

Hi Kishanterry,

Thank you for your reply. Your code works, at least I can get an email but no details get through? I've included both files - maybe you can find the error. Thank you.

contact.php

<form name="form1" method="post" action="send_contact.php">

<br>

<div>
<p>
<label>Name:</label><br>
<input type="text" style="color: #37383D; background-color: white;"  name="subject" type="text" id="subject" value="" size="60" />
</p>

<p>
<label>Telephone:</label><br>
<input type="text" style="color: #37383D; background-color: white;" name="name" type="text" id="name" value="" size="60" />
</p>

<p>
<label>Email Address:</label><br>
<input type="text" style="color: #37383D; background-color: white;" name="customer_mail" type="text" id="customer_mail" value=""  size="60"/>
</p>

<p>
<lable>Comment:</label><br>
<textarea rows="6" cols="45" style="color: #37383D; background-color: white;" name="detail" id="detail"></textarea>
</p>

<br><p style="margin-left: 100px">
<Input type="submit" name="Submit" style="color: white;background: #6C7079; width: 80px; border: 1px solid #B9C0CA;font-family: arial; font-size: 11px ;height: 26px;" value="Send Email">
<Input type="reset" name="send_mail" style="color: white;background: #6C7079; width: 80px; border: 1px solid #B9C0CA;font-family: arial; font-size: 11px ;height: 26px;" value="Reset"></p>
</form>
</div>

PHP:

send_contact.php

<div>
<?php

// Contact subject
$subject ="$subject";
// Details
$body="$detail";


$to = 'le007@myemailaddress.com ';
    $subject = 'Contact Form';
 
   
    $mail_sent = mail($to, $subject, $body);
    echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>

</div>

PHP:

I'm just receiving a blank email?

 

Hi le007,

Modify the following code:

to:

$body = $_POST['detail'];

PHP:

and try to send the mail. And if that works append the rest of the form fields to the $body variable according to your tastes and preferences.

Cheers

 

it is usually good practice to end your header part with \r\n

for examples;

$headers = "From: \r\n";

mail( 'someone@somewhere.com', 'the subject', 'the body', $headers);

 

agree with kishanterry. you need to add $_POST. $body is just empty without that

 

Woohoo !
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Excellent, thanks very much kishanterry, kellyphong, suryawl and everyone else who posted to this thread.
Finally, it worked - I will duplicate it for the rest but yes, the details went through successfully ",)

 

Eek, may have spoken too soon - tried to change the subject and got an error:

The code for my form is still the same as my previous above comment - would somebody please kindly change what it needed so that I can get the name, telephone, email and details sent ",)

Thank you very much.

 

Last shot effort and it's not working ?

<?php

// Contact subject
$name ="$_POST['subject'];
// Details
$tele = $_POST['name'];

$email = $_POST['customer_mail'];

$body = $_POST['detail'];


$to = 'myemail@gmail.com ';
    $subject = 'Contact Form';
 
   
    $mail_sent = mail($to, $subject, $name, $tele, $email, $body);
    echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>

PHP:

 

Hi le007,

Try the following:

$body = "Name: " . $_POST['subject'] . "\r\nTelephone: " . $_POST['name'] . "\r\nE-mail: " . $_POST['customer_email'];
$body .= "\r\nDetails:\r\n" . $_POST['detail'];

$to = 'myemail@gmail.com ';
$subject = 'Contact Form';
  
$mail_sent = mail($to, $subject, $body);
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";

PHP:

There we two problems in your code (as far as I know):

1.

$name ="$_POST['subject'];

PHP:

The quote (") in front of $_POST... is a syntax error.

2. And the mail() function was taking too many parameters.

 

Hi Kishanterry,
Thanks a million for your reply and all the help. You really have helped me out here! It's working precisely how I'd like it to.

Appreciate it!

Hi le007,

Happy to help.

I believe you are a CSS person. Could you please look into my problem and see if you could help me. Unfortunately I am not allowed to post links, but the precise title of my post is Overriding td height="?" using CSS.

Thanks in advance.

 

No problem Kishanterry, will do
