Contact Form not sending from Sender's Email id

General PHP Help
#1

I am using this code in Contact form PHP file, suppose myphpfile.php:-

<?php $email = $_POST['email']; $recipient = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Contact Form"; $mailheader = "From: $email \r\n"; mail($recipient, $mailheader) or die("Error!"); echo "Thank You!"; ?>

and This HTML

Enter your valid email id:

The form is working.

But the problem is that the email I receive is sent from [email protected] and not from sender’s email id.

I want to receive emails from Sender’s email id (email id filled in the form by subscriber).

help me in this regard!

put in a support ticket with your hosting company!

The reason I say this is not to be a jerk but because different hosting companies have rules about spoofing from addresses on emails, and some of them might have a specific format in which to do it. I have worked with tons of different hosting companies and trust me there is no standard in the way they are set up!!!

#3

Thanks. I shall follow your advise and contact the hosting company.
I have noted another problem, that “Thank You!” echo in my contact form is displayed in new blank page after submitting the form.
How can I set this “Thank You!” echo to be shown below the form itself, after submitting the form, on the same page where the form is embedded?

right now you probably have 2 files the html with the form and the php scrip that atually send the mail.

to accomplish what you want, you will need to merge both files together making that one single file.

then
[php]
if (mail)
{
$msg = “Thank you for you message.”;
}
[/php]

than just print $msg under the form

[php]

<?php echo $msg; ?>

[/php]

be sure to put the script that sends the mail at the top and have the form at the bottom

good luck

Thanks. The information was really helpful.
I tried to work it out accordingly but it seems that something went wrong. The text: [ Thank You for your message."; } ?> ] is now showing up at the top of form. While the form is sending the message it is not showing the text [ Thank You for your message. ] blow the form after sending email.

Here is the code that I am using in .html file

[code]

<?php $email = $_POST['email']; $recipient = "[email protected],"; $subject = "Contact Form Email Subject"; $mailheader = "From: $email \r\n"; mail($recipient, $subject, $mailheader) or die("Error!"); echo "Thank You!"; if (mail) { $msg = "Thank You for your message."; } ?>

Enter your valid email id:

<?php echo $msg; ?> [/code] How to resolve this problem?

#6

[php]

<?php if(isset($_POST['email'])){ $email = $_POST['email']; $recipient = "[email protected],"; $subject = "Contact Form Email Subject"; $mailheader = "From: $email \r\n"; mail($recipient, $subject, $mailheader) or die("Error!");

$msg = “Thank You for your message.”;
echo $msg;
}
?>

Enter your valid email id:

<?php echo $msg; ?> [/php]

Your code should look more like this

#7

use plintu’s code and add a ‘@’

[php]
echo @$msg;
[/php]

to avoid getting underfined index notice

#8

The Problem Still Persists. The text: [ Thank You for your message."; echo $msg; } ?> ] is still showing up at the top of form. While the form is sending the message it is not showing the text [ Thank You for your message. ] blow the form after sending email.

NOTE: I used the exact code sent by plintu & even adding a [php]echo @$msg;[/php] was not of help.

#9

#10

#11
