having trouble figuring this out.
downloaded a html webpage template that has a contact page that has an editable php code
I dont know if i have edited correctly, I assumed it was straight forward however its not working.
I have a godaddy account on a Unix server, so I dont know if this code will only work on a windows server or what code mods I have to do to get it to work on a unix server, however here is that code, any help greatly appreciated. my email address is …Removed …
I only edited the template one time, and may have to edit it more times down the pages
[php]
Set-up these 3 parameters
// 1. Enter the email address you would like the enquiry sent to
// 2. Enter the subject of the email you will receive, when someone contacts you
// 3. Enter the text that you would like the user to see once they submit the contact form
$to = ‘[email protected]’;
$subject = ‘Enquiry from the website’;
$contact_submitted = ‘Your message has been sent.’;
// Do not amend anything below here, unless you know PHP
function email_is_valid($email) {
return preg_match('/^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i',$email);
}
if (!email_is_valid($to)) {
echo '<p style="color: red;">You must set-up a valid (to) email address before this contact page will work.</p>';
}
if (isset($_POST['contact_submitted'])) {
$return = "\r";
$youremail = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['your_email']));
$yourname = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['your_name']));
$yourmessage = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['your_message']));
$contact_name = "Name: ".$yourname;
$message_text = "Message: ".$yourmessage;
$user_answer = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['user_answer']));
$answer = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['answer']));
$message = $contact_name . $return . $message_text;
$headers = "From: ".$youremail;
if (email_is_valid($youremail) && !eregi("\r",$youremail) && !eregi("\n",$youremail) && $yourname != "" && $yourmessage != "" && substr(md5($user_answer),5,10) === $answer) {
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
$yourname = '';
$youremail = '';
$yourmessage = '';
echo '<p style="color: blue;">'.$contact_submitted.'</p>';
}
else echo '<p style="color: red;">Please enter your name, a valid email address, your message and the answer to the simple maths question before sending your message.</p>';
}
