PHP - User Validation Via Email

So, im trying to make my job a little easier. lol... I am constantly sending emails to the managers for escalations on calls... So I wrote this so far... (forgive my poor php skills, this is the first thing ive ever made. lol.)

It does work so far, but, a friend wants to use it too, and Ive adapted it so he can enter his email address in, but, how can I make it so that it will validate only to send from @specificdomain.com ?

Ive tried a few things, and just butchered it. lol....

Thanks for any help or tips.

Code: [Select]

<?php
//$name = $_POST["email"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$policynumber = $_POST["policynumber"];
$phonenumber = $_POST["phonenumber"];
$issue = $_POST["issue"];
$purchased = $_POST ["purchased"];
$infocheck  = $_POST ["infocheck"];
$additionalinfo = stripslashes($_POST["additionalinfo"]);

//checkbox value readout
$mailcc = $_POST['sendmetoo'];

$email_to = "SalesLevel2@specificurl.com"; // Who the email is to
$email_from = $_POST['emailfrom']; // Who the email is from
$email_subject = $policynumber.' - '.$issue; // The Subject of the email

//here you can define whatever you want to...
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
$headers .= "To: <".$email_to.">\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$email_from."\r\n";

//we control if sendmetoo is checked...
if($mailcc == 'sendtome'){
       $headers .= "Cc: ".$email_from."\r\n";
}
//$headers .= "Bcc: noone@nowhere.com\r\n";

$email_message = "Sales Level 2,";
$email_message .= "\n\nPolicy Number: " .$policynumber;
$email_message .= "\nClients Name: " .$name;
$email_message .= "\nPhone Number: " .$phonenumber;
$email_message .= "\nReason(s): " .$issue;
$email_message .= "\nPurchased Already: " .$purchased;
$email_message .= "\nAll info correct?: " .$infocheck;
$email_message .= "\n\nAdditional Information: " .$additionalinfo;
"\n\n\n\n". // Message that the email has in it

//$headers = "From: ".$email_from;

$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

if($ok) {
echo "<font face=verdana size=2><center>Your message has been sent<br>
to Sales Level 2<br>
Click <a href=\"#\" onclick=\"history.back();\">here</a> to go back</center>";

} else {
die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try again!");
}
?>

Hi, I need simple function to validate email address format.

I have found follwoing function form google.


function isemail($email){
return (bool)ereg("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email);
}


It's working fine with php < 5.2. But when I'm using with PHP 5.3
is says Quote

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\*******\includes\functions.php on line 28


Is any solution to this without error disable?

Thanks

Hello i have a syntax issue in the code below, can anyone shed some light?

Code: [Select]
<?php if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$drop = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['drop_1']);
$tier_two = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Subtype']);
echo "You selected ";
echo $drop." & ".$tier_two;
$Name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Name"]);
$Phone = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Phone"]);
$Email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Email"]);
$Postcode = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Postcode"]);
$Website = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Website"]);
if($Name == '' || $Phone == '' || $Email == '' else if (!preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9\-.]+$/', $domain)||
$Postcode == '' || $Website == '')
{
die('<br> but you did not complete all of the required fields correctly, please try again');
}
}
the code works fine without the  " else if (!preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9\-.]+$/', $domain) " .
As well as checking for blank fields i'd like to check for the correct email format.

Many thanks.

Hi guys,

Trying to ge this to work:


function  checkEmail($useremail) {
 if (!preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\._-] +)+$/" , $useremail)) {
  return false;
  $error = '<div id="blackText"><p>Sorry! Please check your email address and try again!<p><p><a href="forumsSignUp.php">Back</a></p></div>';
 }
 return true;

//PASSWORD AND OTHER VALIDATION STUFF, blah blah blah

}

But its just not. Everything works fine if I remove this though. Can anyone suggest an alternative to email address validation? Thanks!

Hey all, trying to figure out a logic flaw in this validation script. Basically if I use !preg_match or the preg_match examples (noted below), I do not get the correct results.   My interpretation of preg_match and my current understanding of the logic is noted below (please correct me if I'm wrong).  1. If I use alternate attempt !preg_match, the regex would be compared against the "string" in the $email variable. If the regex expression matches, error will be thrown and script would stop.  2. If I use alternate attempt !preg_match, the condition would be not true and move to else where the string contained within $email variable would be run through the vld function.  3. If I maintain the current script using preg_match, if the string matches the match, the condition would be true and therefore string of $email variable runs through VLD function else cleanup and throw error...   Are my statements above correct in this context? I think I'm pretty close to cracking it but seem to be missing something simple.   The current script is referenced below, forgive me if I've lost the plot. Long hours attempting to understand this language, from what I've seen so far its great.   Thanks in advance, A     //Alternate attempt   if (!preg_match("/^[^@]+@[^@.]+\.[^@]*\w\w/", $email)) {
                                    $error = "Please enter a valid email address"; } else {                                     $email = vld($_POST['email']);
                                  }   Current code that doens't work:   if (empty($_POST['email'])) {
    $error = "Email is required"; } else {
       if (strlen($_POST['email']) < 5) {
           $error = "Email is too short!"; } else {
              if (strlen($_POST['email']) > 30) {
                  $error = "Email is too long!"; } else {
                      if (preg_match("/[\(\)\<\>\,\;\:\\\"\[\]]/", $email)) {
                          $error = "The email address contains illegal characters"; } else {
                              if (preg_match("/^[^@]+@[^@.]+\.[^@]*\w\w/", $email)) {
                                  $email = vld($_POST['email']); } else {
                                      $error = "Please enter a valid email address";
                                  }
                         }
                  }
           }
    }
}

Hey everyone. I hope you can help me getting through this problem, because I have no idea of what else to try. I'm a web designer and sometimes modify Javascript, but my main focus is HTML and CSS, meaning I have no idea how to code in Javascript, but most importantly, how to write something from scratch in PHP.

So I designed a form that works pretty well, and integrated a PHP and Javascript script to make it work. This is the form:

Code: [Select]
    <form name="form" id="form" method="post" action="contact.php">
    <p>Hello,</p>
    <p>My name is <input type="text" name="name">, from <input type="text" name="location">, and I'd like to get in touch with you for the following purpose:</p>
    <p><textarea name="message" rows="10" ></textarea></p>
    <p>By the way, my email address is <input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="john@doe.com">, and I can prove I'm not a robot because I know the sky is <input type="text" name="code" placeholder="Red, green or blue?">.</p>
<p title="Send this message."><input type="submit"  id="submit" value="Take care."></p>
    </form>
And this is the script, in an external file called contact.php:

Code: [Select]
<?php
  $name = check_input($_REQUEST['name'], "Please enter your name.") ;
  $location = check_input($_REQUEST['location']) ;
  $message = check_input($_REQUEST['message'], "Please write a message.") ;
  $email = check_input($_REQUEST['email'], "Please enter a valid email address.") ;
  if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/",$email)) {die("E-mail address not valid");}
  if (strtolower($_POST['code']) != 'blue') {die('You are definitely a robot.');}

  $mail_status = mail( "my@email.com", "Hey!", "Hello,\n\n$message\n\nRegards,\n\n$name\n$location", "From: $email $name" );
  
  function check_input($data, $problem='')
{
    $data = trim($data);
    $data = stripslashes($data);
    $data = htmlspecialchars($data);
    if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
    {
        show_error($problem);
    }
    return $data;
}

function show_error($myError)
{
?>
    <html>
    <body>

    <b>Please correct the following error:</b><br />
    <?php echo $myError; ?>

    </body>
    </html>
<?php
exit();
}

    if ($mail_status) { ?>
      <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
      alert('Thank you for the message. I will try to respond as soon as I can.');
      window.location = '/about';
    </script>
<?php
}
    else { ?>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
      alert('There was an error. Please try again in a few minutes, or send the message directly to aalejandro@bitsland.com.');
      window.location = '/about';
    </script>
<?php
}
?>
So what it does is this: if everything's OK, it sends an email with "Hey!" as the subject, "[name]" as the sender, "Hello, [message]. Regards, [name], [location]" as the body, and a popup saying the message was delivered appears. If something fails, it outputs the error in a new address, so the user will have to go back to the form and correct the error.

What I actually want to happen is this: if everything's OK, a <p> which was hidden beneath the form appears saying the message was delivered, or, alternatively, make the submit button gray out and confirm the message was delivered. I found a script to make this happen, but with "Please wait...", so the user can't resubmit the form.

If there's an error, I'd like another <p> which was hidden to appear with the specific error, so there'd be many <p>'s hidden with different IDs. If possible, I'd also like to change the CSS style of the input field, specifically changing the border color to red, so it'd be a change in class for the particular field.

--

So in essence, I want the errors and the success messages to output in the same page as the form (without refresh), and a change of class in the input fields that have an error.

Thanks in advance, and please let me know if it'll be possible.

Hello guys,

I just want to ask if someone can share me codes in php where i can validate the connection of the mail server.

I am going to trap this error:

Quote

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver....


Instead of this message showing, I want it to be formal. It will be like this:

Quote

You cannot connect to you're mail server. Please contact the administrator.


And lastly I want to have a validation if an email is existing or not. I want a script which checks first the email if it is existing before sending the message. I hope someone will post their idea here. Thanks in Advance.

I am using this a modal window(jBox) - with a web Form in it, that requires the Form (just Name & Email) to be completed and Submitted in order to close the modal window - allowing access to the main page.

The Form uses this corresponding ../submit.php which this:

if (empty($_POST['name'])|| empty($_POST['email'])){
$response['success'] = false;
} else {
$response['success'] = true;
}

echo json_encode($response);

where, upon Form > submit, successfully shows 'error' if the Form fields are not populated, and 'success' when the Form fields are populated/submitted.

I'd like the Form to require a proper/valid email address and avoid spam and header injection
(maybe honeypot protection and implement a form of rate limiting (a single ip may not send more than x messages per day)).

Any assistance/guidance is appreciated
