Send Emails with a Web Form - PHP Scripting in Dreamweaver!

can u post it please?

I used my gmail account. But now I'm using a different method which uses a little more security measures, so it works a little better.

because if bots abuse your email then they can use up all your bandwidth (potentially costing you a load of money for extra bandwidth, or your site will be 'down' untill next month) and send you loads of spam.

how would you add a capcha to stop bots abusing your email?

Speak to your host. This usually happens if your host has been 'blacklisted' due to spam mail coming from their IPaddress.

Thanks famwkah, It worked!
was really stressed out looking at the web for finding something better then this...and did found some cool things...but i am gonna stick with this one...thanks again

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! You have no idea how much you help out with this videos.

Ok, I found the problem. Seek the video to 8:53. There he shows the variables that he is creating such as $emailField, $nameField, etc. However, when creating the body variable of the email, he uses the first parts of the variables he created such as $email instead of $emailField. Basically, he forgot to add "Field" in the variables he used in the body part of the email. After getting it to work, for some reason I get the email in my spam folder, I don't know why.

What's so hard about this......xD
Just follow some tutorials to learn PHP and done.

Thanx again. For all the help.

Hey tutvid thanks for the tutorial it was great! thanks to you my web form is now operational! your a real life saver!!!!

hi there! i did exactly the same thing but i am not receiving anything on my email....i did another coding in quite a simpler way in which i receive mails but it doesnt show the email of the sender but the email support of my web host...waht could i be doing wrong? can somebody please help me out on this????!!!

a small mistake in explanation:
elseif(empty($email)||empty($field2)||empty($field 3)||.....||empty($fieldn))//check to see if any field is empty
{header("Location: error.php");}//if empty redirect to ERROR PAGE.

I am giving here some basic code that you can adapt easily:
if(!isset($_POST['email'))//checks if email is set
{header("Location: form.php");}//if not set redirect back to form
elseif(empty($email)||empty($field2)||empty($field3)||.....||empty($fieldn))//check to see if any field is empty
{header("Location: error.php");}//if empty redirect back to form
else{if(ereg("[
]",email)){header("Location: form.php");}
$mail=mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
header("Location: successful.php");}

Did u include javascript behaviour to check whether user has filled all the form fields? That should work as long as the user doesnt turn off javascript.
In case the use does disable javascript, then you will need php for server side validation. This is very simple to achieve. The concept is to check if the $_POST['formfield'] are set or not for all fields. If they are set for all the form fields then it means that user has entered all fields. We can then redirect user accordingly by headers.

Form validation problem. Email still sends even if some fields are empty and after pop-up warning. Will a good soul help us to complete this form?
1. form validation problem
2. UNKNOWN SENDER problem.

This is a great video though and thanks for sharing.

two more things i would like to point out: you dont have to double quote a variable name while echoing it, unless you also want to output some string with it.
and u didnt cover on how to prevent the script from the mail injection vulnerability.

nice tute :) i wish i had seen this before though cuz i actually had to bang my head trying to learn it all by myself. there are lots of ways to do it in the internet and many are incorrect.but i certainly learnt something new, the "EOD" thing. I didnt use it for my script but it seems pretty neat. I just concatenated the strings instead...

That's right! He's working with variables like $email that have not even been declared previously. The funny thing is... how come this guy tests it and works fine? Is he bullshitting us pretending is working? Well, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but I'd like someone to explain it to me.

For anyone who is receiving the email with blank information - there is an error in the code. Inside the EOD section, change 'Email: $email' to 'Email: $emailField'. Same for the other lines. Once Field has been added it works fine, for me anyway. Great tutorial that just needs a note added, as this could cause people lots of problems.
