PHP - Help With Contact-form Spam Test

Hi,
I Have a form after successful submission a mail must be send to particular recipient and thank you mail is send to the person who filled the form ,The problem is i am receiving mails in spam whats the reason for going in spam I have kept Capture code also
Can please let me know what to do

I have a form that is populating fields based on a database query.  I am then trying to update the database based on any changes made in the form and passed through a POST action.

The problem I am having is with the block where I declare short variable names for the $_POST variables that will be passed when the user hits the submit button.  For each variable declaration I get an error message like this:
Quote

Encountered error: 8 in mbr_profile_updt_form.php, line 130: Undefined index: email


I have tried testing the $_POST variable using the isset function but it apparently is set but empty. 

What would be a good way to test to see if the user has pressed the submit button before I go into the processing block that is intended to handle those values from the form?

Here is where my code is at right now:
Code: [Select]
if (!isset($_POST))
{
throw new Exception('You have not filled the form out completely - please go back'
.' and try again.');   
}
else
{
//filled in so create short variable names
$email=$_POST['email'];
$first_name=$_POST['first_name'];
$last_name=$_POST['last_name'];

Hello, I have coded a contact form in PHP and I want to know, if according to you, it is secure! I am new in PHP, so I want some feedback from you.

Moreover, I have also two problems based on the contact form. It is a bit complicated to explain, thus, I will break each of my problem one by one.

FIRST:The first thing I want to know, is if my contact form secure according to you:

The HTML with the PHP codes:

Code: [Select]
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {

//Assigning variables to elements
$first = htmlentities($_POST['first']);
$last = htmlentities($_POST['last']);
$sub = htmlentities($_POST['subject']);
$email = htmlentities($_POST['email']);
$web = htmlentities($_POST['website']);
$heard = htmlentities($_POST['heard']);
$comment = htmlentities($_POST['message']);
$cap = htmlentities($_POST['captcha']);

//Declaring the email address with body content
$to = 'alithebestofall2010@gmail.com';
$body ="First name: '$first' \n\n Last name: '$last' \n\n Subject: '$sub' \n\n Email: '$email' \n\n Website: '$web' \n\n Heard from us: '$heard' \n\n Comments: '$comment'";

//Validate the forms
if (empty($first) || empty($last) || empty($sub) || empty($email) || empty($comment) || empty($cap)) {
echo '<p class="error">Required fields must be filled!</p>';
header ('refresh= 3; url= index.php');
return false;

} 
elseif (filter_var($first, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) || filter_var($last, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) {
echo '<p class="error">You cannot enter a number as either the first or last name!</p>';
return false;
} 
elseif (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo '<p class="error">Incorrect email address!</p>';
return false;
}
elseif (!($cap === '12')){
echo '<p class="error">Invalid captcha, try again!</p>';
return false;
}
else {
mail ($to, $sub, $body);
echo '<p class="success">Thank you for contacting us!</p>';
}
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">
<p>Your first name: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="first" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Paul"/></p>

<p>Your last name: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="last" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Smith"/></p>

<p>Subject: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="subject" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Contact"/></p>

<p>Your email address: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="email" size="40" placeholder="Ex: example@xxx.com"/></p>

<p>Website:</p>
<p><input type="text" name="website" size="40" placeholder="Ex: http//:google.com"/></p>

<p>Where you have heard us?: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><select name="heard">
<option>Internet</option>
<option>Newspapers</option>
<option>Friends or relatives</option>
<option>Others</option>
</select></p>

<p>Your message: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><textarea cols="75" rows="20" name="message"></textarea></p>

<p>Are you human? Sum this please: 5 + 7 = ?: <span class="required">*</span></p></p>
<p><input type="text" name="captcha" size="10"/></p>

<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset" class="button"/></p>
</form>

SECOND PROBLEM:If a user has made a mistake, he gets the error message so that he can correct! However, when a mistake in the form occurs, all the data the user has entered are disappeared! I want the data to keep appearing so that the user does not start over again to fill the form.

THIRD: When the erro message is displayed to notify the user that he made a mistake when submitting the form, the message is displaying on the top of the page. I want it to appear below each respective field. How to do that? In JQuery it is simple, but in PHP, I am confusing!

I have read around and can't seem to find the right coding for what I need on this forum and some other other forums.

I have a contact form (as listed below) and I need 2 locations (Print Name and Title) fields to auto-populate on a separate form (can be a doc, pdf, etc. any form of document which is easiest) and this form can be totally back end and the individual using the form never is going to see the form.

It's going on a contract form, that we would like to auto-populate.

Also is there a simple attachment code so individuals can attach documents to the code?

Im having a problem with my form mail on my websites. Now the problem I have only happens with sites that I upload to my hosting accounts with Host gator. The mail will only deliver to the domain email address it wont deliver to gmail or yahoo or any other email address. I tested the script on an old domain with an Irish hosting account and it works perfectly it delivers to gmail and yahoo and my domain email account. Ive been pulling my hair out talking to Hostgator staff all weekend they keep blaming gmail and yahoo and insist the problem is not on there end.  Anyway I was wondering is there anything I can add to my PHP script to make sure it delivers to gmail and yahoo or is there anything wrong with my script as hostgator are saying. Maybe there is a security issue or something Im very new to php so i could be missing something simple.   Thanks for the Help   <?php

Hello All,

I made an external "Thank you.html" page that I want to show immediately after the " Send Your Info"  button on my "request_more_info.php " form is clicked. This MUST stay external always. I want this to be called in somehow by php. So is there some php code I can use to accomplish this?

Also is there some php code I can use to validate my entire form and ESPECIALLY the e-mail address portion on my form? If so could you tell me who do i apply it to my "request_more_info.php "

Salutation: (radio buttons)
First Name: (input field)
Last Name: (input field)
Address: (input field)
City: (input field)
State: (select option)
Zip: (input field)
Country: (select option)
Email: (input field)

thanks

Hi everyone, i was trying to create a little script for my blog but cant do that.

What i want is this model with dropdown options: http://www.pasidedans.ro/inscrie-te-acum

I want to replace my entire cod so i dont want to modify him..

Can you help me to create a contact form like this ? thanks !

Hey everyone,

I have a really simple php contact form that I managed to mess up and can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is. It accepts the responses and will continue to the "success" page like it's supposed to, but it doesn't mail the data from the form fields when it does. I was hoping you'd be able to take a look and maybe find the error(s)... I know it's probably something really simple and stupid but I can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance!!

hello All,

Thank you EVERYONE for all of your help... it was much appreciated.

I have created a form that does the following:

(1) Connects to the database that created.
(2) Inserts the users data into the database
(3) Displays a thank you you page after a successful form submission
(4) Send an e-mail to me with all the users details

I NOW need to be able to send a Custom html page to the end users e-mail with all their data... a Confirmation e-mail for their reference.

Is there some special PHP  Code that can HANDLE such a task? If so please tell me how might be able to integrate this in my existing code.


thanks

Hi all, firstly thank you in advance to anyone who replies to this thread. I'll be honest I'm a newbie when I comes to PHP and really am a long way to mastering it. If someone could have a look at my code and tell me where I'm going wrong here then it would be a great help.   The problem here is, when I click on the submit button it sends me to the PHP script page and doesn't actually send a email to the address.    Please Help and again, thank you in advance.   Below is the HTML,   <section>

Hello All,

I've successfully figure out how to make a form that connects to My Database, INSERTS the END USERS INFO into my database, and THEN sends a email notification back to the ME that contains the the END USERS INFO.

Is there a line of CODE in PHP to use that I can ALSO send the END USERS INFO from the form THEY FILLED OUT with all their details that was sent back to ME in the initial e-mail?


Also how do I get the date and time to post in the in my e-mail received with from the END USERS containing the date and time of the form filled out. It shows up in my Database HOWEVER, not in my RECEIVED e-mail.

Here is my code below:

<pre>

Code: [Select]
<?php 
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
   include('connect2myDB.php');
   
   $salutation = $_POST['salutation'];
   $first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
   $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
   $email = $_POST['email'];
   $zip_code = $_POST['zip_code'];
   $newsletter = $_POST['newsletter'];
   $registation_date = $_POST['registation_date'];
   $sqlinsert = "INSERT INTO travelers (salutation, first_name, last_name, email, zip_code, newsletter, registation_date) VALUES ('$salutation', '$first_name','$last_name','$email','$zip_code','$newsletter', NOW()))";

MOD EDIT: code tags added.

Hi,   I recently bought a HTML template and it came with a contact form which work fines.   The only issue I have is that when the email arrives it only shows the persons first name, not their surname unless the name is kept as one e.g.. Adam-Smith   I can't see why this is and has been bugging me for the past couple of days!   Any ideas?  
$email_to = "contact@website";
$name = $_POST["user-name"];
$email = $_POST["user-email"];
$message = $_POST["user-message"];
$text = "Name: $name

Email: $email

Message: $message";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html; charset=utf-8" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: <$name>" . "\r\n";
mail($email_to, "Contact", $text, $headers);
?>     Thanks

HELLO EVERYONE

I HAVE A HTML FORM ON A HTML PAGE FOR USE AS A FEEDBACK FORM.
I WANT TO WRITE THE USER-ENTERED DETAILS INTO A MYSQL DATABASE
I AM USING A WEB HOSING SERVICE WHO HAVE TOLD ME THAT TO CONNECT TO THE DATABASE I NEED TO USE PDO (PHP DATABASE OBJECT).
HERE IS MY PRESENT PHP CODING TO DO THIS TASK AS OF DATE:
 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

function died($error) {

// your error code can go here

echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";

echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";

echo $error."<br /><br />";

echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";

die();

}

// validation expected data exists

if(!isset($_POST['firstname']) ||

!isset($_POST['lastname']) ||

!isset($_POST['email']) ||

!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||

!isset($_POST['bustype']) ||

!isset($_POST['description'])) {

died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');

}

$firstname = $_POST['firstname']; // required

$lastname = $_POST['lastname']; // required

$email = $_POST['email']; // required

$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required

$bustype = $_POST['bustype']; // required

$description = $_POST['description']; // required

$con = new PDO("mysql:host=mysql.hostinger.in;dbname=databasename",'username', 'password');

$query = "INSERT INTO `databasename` (`id`, `firstname`, `lastname`, `bustype`, `email`, `telephone`, `description`, `timestamp`,) VALUES (NULL, '$firstname', '$lastname', '$bustype', '$email', '$telephone', '$description', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,)";

$q = $con->prepare($query);
$q->execute(array(':$firstname' => $_POST['firstname'], ':$lastname' => $_POST['lastname'], ':$bustype' => $_POST['bustype'], ':$email' => $_POST['email'],':$telephone' => $_POST['telephone'], ':$description' => $_POST['description'], ));

echo "<h2>Thank you for filling in our contact. We shall get back to you as soon as possible.</h2>";
$con = null;

?>
