Hello,
so I’m a student and as a project for school I needed to build a website, my contact form on the website dierects to the following php file:
<?php
header( "refresh:10; url=#" );
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
// CHANGE THE TWO LINES BELOW
$email_to = "e-mail";
$email_subject = "Visitor E-mail";
function died($error) {
// your error code can go here
echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted, please go back and fix those errors. ";
echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go wait for the browser to direct you back and then you can fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}
// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
!isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['topic']) ||
!isset($_POST['message'])) {
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['topic']; // required
$comments = $_POST['message']; // 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.<br />';
}
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
$error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
$error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
$error_message .= 'The Topic you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($message) < 2) {
$error_message .= 'The Message you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($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";
$email_message .= "topic: ".clean_string($topic)."\n";
$email_message .= "Message: ".clean_string($message)."\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);
?>
<!-- place your own success html below -->
Thank you for contacting us <?php echo $_GET["first_name"]; ?>. We will be in touch with you a soon as possible. Please wait for the browser to redirect you back!
<?php
}
die();
?>
so instead of directing to a new page stay on the page which the form is at and post the success/fail message. Thank you in advance
