    Re: How to email from WEBpage?

    The code is 100% correct. At this point, you need to contact the server admins of your domain.
    If the post was helpful...Rate it! Remember to use [code] or [php] tags.

    Re: How to email from WEBpage?

    Dear PeejAvery,

    What could be wrong in this ?

    PHP Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
    <html>

    <?php

    $errors[] = "Subject is required";
      
    $message $_POST['message'] ;
      if (!
    $_POST['Message'])
          
    // if not, add that error to our array
          
    $errors[] = "Message body is required";

    //Myline  

    // initialize a variable to 
       // put any errors we encounter into an array
       
    $errors = array();

    if (count($errors)>0){
          echo

          foreach(
    $errors as $err)

    $recipient 'contactus@cormed.co.in';
          
    $subject stripslashes($_POST['Subject']);
          
    $msg "Message sent by $from\n
             "
    .stripslashes($_POST['Message']);
          if (
    mail($recipient,$subject,$message))
             echo 
    "Thanks for your message!";
          else
             echo 
    "An unknown error occurred.";

       
          }



      if (
    mail('contactus@cormed.co.in'$subject$message"From:" $email)) {
        echo 
    'Your E-mail has been sent.';
      }
    }
    else {
    ?>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

    Re: How to email from WEBpage?

    Read this very carefully...there are no errors that would keep the e-mail from being sent. As I've already told you!

    Apparently, you're server admins know nothing either...PHP is not a compiled language. Are you sure that your host uses PHP and that it can send mail? That is what you need to discuss with your server admins.

    BUT you have errors in your thought process.

    • It's 1 form, therefore if it sends, then all those variables are set. Using "if" in that way won't help. Use "if" empty($variable) instead.
    • stripslashes should only be used if your server has magic quotes configuration turned on. Check that first. See this link for that info.

    ( You are 100% Correct ,They even told me that just use notepad & type like this : Name :<Keep Blank> Email:<Keep Blank> Message: Keep Blank> And compile it.I asked them do they have a PHP Server.They said we have everything, I asked them Is My Server a PHP one? They said maybe.
    Then I did a PHP query " <?php phpinfo(); ?>" This PHP file showed me that they are using PHP in my server. I have written them atleast 20 mails to sort this out, they replied a few & then became total silent, Brother,This is Our India.!! <


    BUT you have errors in your thought process.
    No ,Absolutely not, I don't have any doubts about you or your Programming.

    It's 1 form, therefore if it sends, then all those variables are set. Using "if" in that way won't help. Use "if" empty($variable) instead.
    stripslashes should only be used if your server has magic quotes configuration turned on. Check that first. See this link for that info.
    So , I have to remove Stripslash part. Let me try again then. But I Know very well that the problem is not on our part ,It is definitely their issue. Either way ,I am at a loss coz I can not send mails !!! [/B]

    Ps: I have tried the process they said......What do you think? Yeah it returned the text Only nothing more.
    Did you try the contact page at http://www.cormed.co.in.?

    Thanks

    Re: How to email from WEBpage?

    Dear PeejAvery,

    You are really a genius. I do appreciate that.I dug deep with my little knowledge & the Links you provided me. & found out that .
    1. It does not say mail received from dsrahul@gmail com the mail is now being sent but with unknown sender. Mail from : dsrahul@gmail.com not shown instead Unknown Sender is shown.Maximum times dsrahul mails are not received by the Mailbox.
    2. It accepts mail from contactus@cormed.co.in and admin@cormed.co.in .The whole message is received without the subject line, in this case it shows the from heading as contactus@cormed.co.in.
    3.Is there a way that this mail contactus@cormed.co.in will be static & hidden and another email(customer email) will be shown in the Message part?
    I mean :
    if (isset($_POST[''])) {
    $email = $_POST['email'] ;
    if (!$_POST['contactus@cormed.co.in'])
    $errors[] = "Email is required"; < this part remains hidden in the code < from email.
    if here we write $emailcust = $emailc
    Possible ?

    Please help

    Thanks
    Rahul

    Re: How to email from WEBpage?

    After doing much of Permutation & Combination & research I ended up in this , Which is working perfectly alright.
    This is the PHPcode for Contact_process.php
    Code:
    <?php
    /*

    $replyemail="contactus@yourwebsite.com"; //change to your email address

    $valid_ref2="http://www.yourwebsite.com/form.html"; //change to your domain name
    
    // -------- No changes required below here -------------------------------------------------------------
    //
    // email variable not set - load $valid_ref1 page
    if (!isset($_POST['email']))
    {
     echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\"><!--\n ";
     echo "top.location.href = \"$valid_ref1\"; \n// --></script>";
     exit;
    }
    $ref_page=$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
    $valid_referrer=0;
    if($ref_page==$valid_ref1) $valid_referrer=1;
    elseif($ref_page==$valid_ref2) $valid_referrer=1;
    if((!$valid_referrer) OR ($_POST["block_spam_bots"]!=12))//you can change this but remember to change it in the contact form too
    {
     echo '<h2>ERROR - not sent.';
     if (file_exists("debug.flag")) echo '<hr>"$valid_ref1" and "$valid_ref2" are incorrect within the file:<br>

    Post Re: How to email from WEBpage?

    My Sincerest Thanks to PeejAvery, who guided me like a Friend & teacher.
    I have posted the code to enable all of us who can not find a way out & have to seek help or request others to do their job.
    I do not know if I have violated the codeguru rules.If so I would request Brad to remove this post.
    Thank you PeejAvery, You are always my best buddy.

    Thanks
    Rahul
