Hi there. I was just setting up an order form and the instructions were to add in my email address and then uncomment the “mail” function to send the emails. I’m just a bit lost with this. Can somebody please take a look? Thanks in advance.
The original form came from here: http://www.dyn-web.com/code/order_form/example2.php
My form is here: http://www.theoxfordbathurst.com.au/onlineorder/example2.php
My code is below.
[php]<?php
require(‘includes/ex2.inc.php’);
function sendAdminEmail($total, $order) {
$admin_email = ‘[email protected]’;
$subject = ‘Order Information’;
$name = stripslashes( strip_tags( $_POST[‘first_name’] ) ) . ’ ’ .
stripslashes( strip_tags( $_POST[‘last_name’] ) );
$email = stripslashes( strip_tags( $_POST['email'] ) );
// check for valid email address
$regex = '/^[\w\+\'\.-]+@[\w\'\.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$/';
if ( !preg_match($regex, $_POST['email']) ) {
// don't send email
echo '<p>Your email appears to be invalid. Please hit your browser back button to return to the previous page to enter a vaild email address.</p>';
return;
}
$phone = stripslashes( strip_tags( $_POST['phone'] ) );
$msg_body = "Order placed for:
$order
Total: $$total
Name: $name
Email: $email
Phone: $phone";
//echo nl2br($msg_body); // for testing
//@mail($admin_email, $subject, $msg_body );
}
function handleOrderInfo() {
global $PRODUCTS;;
$str = ‘’; $total = 0; $order = ‘’;
while ( list($key, $val) = each($_POST) ) {
// Check for valid quantity entries > 0
if ( ( strpos($key, ‘_qty’) !== false ) && is_int( (int)$val) && $val > 0 ) {
$pt = strrpos($key, ‘_qty’); // get product abbr
$name_pt = substr( $key, 0, $pt);
foreach($PRODUCTS as $product) {
list($prod_abbr, $prod_name, $prod_price) = $product;
if ($prod_abbr == $name_pt) {
$sub_tot = $val * $prod_price;
// build string to display order info
$str .= "<p>$val $prod_name at $" . number_format($prod_price, 2) .
' each for $' . number_format($sub_tot, 2) . '</p>';
$total += $sub_tot;
$order .= "$val $prod_abbr, ";
}
}
}
}
$total = number_format($total, 2);
$order = rtrim($order, ', ');
if ( $str === '' ) {
$str = '<p>You didn\'t order anything.</p>';
} else {
$str = "<h2>Your Order:</h2>$str<p>Total: $$total</p>";
sendAdminEmail($total, $order);
}
return $str;
}
?>
A sendAdminEmail function is included in the head of this file. You will need to place your email address there ($admin_email) and uncomment the mail function to send the emails.
