I am creating a simple HTML site for a client. He informed me he wanted a form that goes to his email. I found a very simple php form that would work perfect but I cant get it to work! When the form is filled out and you hit Submit it says:
"We’re sorry, but there’s errors found with the form you submitted.These errors appear below.
We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.
Please go back and fix these errors."
Form is here: http://montanapa.ipower.com/hank/htmlform.htm
I have followed the instructions on the html_form_send.php instruction file (although I did add iin the City field but added it where it should have been in the file) and it still gives me that error.
I obviously am not a php coder…CMS design is my forte…I need help with this one.
Here is the html_form_send.php form (oh and its to be sent to an email address):
[php]<?php
if(isset($_POST[‘email’])) {
// CHANGE THE TWO LINES BELOW
$email_to = "[email protected]";
$email_subject = "website html form submissions";
function died($error) {
// your error code can go here
echo "We're sorry, but there's errors 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['first_name']) ||
!isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
!isset($_POST['city']) ||
!isset($_POST['comments'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}
$first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required
$last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required
$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // required
$city = $_POST['city']; // required
$comments = $_POST['comments']; // required
$error_message = "";
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= ‘The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.
’;
}
$string_exp = “/^[A-Za-z .’-]+$/”;
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
$error_message .= ‘The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.
’;
}
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
$error_message .= ‘The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.
’;
}
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$city)) {
$error_message .= ‘The City you entered does not appear to be valid.
’;
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= ‘The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.
’;
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = “Form details below.\n\n”;
function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}
$email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
$email_message .= "City: ".clean_string($city)."\n";
$email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
‘X-Mailer: PHP/’ . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
?>
