This sends the completed Form information, but where does it send a message?

[ChrisjChrisj]

This php file sends the completed Form fields info to $to, but does it also send an email to the $email of the person who completed the Form?

<?php
//check if form was sent
if($_POST){
	$to = 's@hmail.com';
	$subject = 'Form1';

	$name = $_POST['name'];
	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$message = $_POST['message'];
	$headers = $name;
	$message .= "\r\n\r\n" . $name;

if( empty($_POST["some_place"]) or $_POST['some_place'] != "glory" )
{
   header("HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden");
   	}else{
   		mail( $to, $subject, $message, $email, $headers );
   	}
		header('Location: https://.......com');
   exit;
}
?>

No, you would need to add the $email to the $to parameter.

$to = 's@hmail.com, '.$_POST['email'];

Note the 4th parameter should be the headers.

This isn’t the best way to test:-

@ChrisjChrisj

if($_POST){

Better to use:-

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

Thanks for your reply/help. Much appreciated.

My latest issue, where I need help, is that when the email is received it shows the (from) email address to be my domain account user name @ the server name, like this:
domain1@host3servername.com, where I’d prefer something more like noReply@actualdomain.com

Any help or suggested remedy will be appreciated

You can specify the from-address inside the headers. As you don’t specify it in you code, something is adding a default value in. See here for an example on how to specify the from-address: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

You might also want to look at using something other than the mail() function to send your messages, as I read on here that it is less than reliable. Two that are often recommended are PHPMailer and Swiftmailer, though I have not used either for more than a quick test message.

Thanks for your reply.

I have PHPMailer installed. Maybe you can help direct me to tie-in this example code to my Form and to the PHPMailer:

<?php
/**
 * PHPMailer simple file upload and send example.
 */
//Import the PHPMailer class into the global namespace
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
$msg = '';
if (array_key_exists('userfile', $_FILES)) {
    // First handle the upload
    // Don't trust provided filename - same goes for MIME types
    // See http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php#114004 for more thorough upload validation
    $uploadfile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), hash('sha256', $_FILES['userfile']['name']));
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
        // Upload handled successfully
        // Now create a message
        require '../vendor/autoload.php';
        $mail = new PHPMailer;
        $mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'First Last');
        $mail->addAddress('whoto@example.com', 'John Doe');
        $mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer file sender';
        $mail->Body = 'My message body';
        // Attach the uploaded file
        $mail->addAttachment($uploadfile, 'My uploaded file');
        if (!$mail->send()) {
            $msg .= "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
        } else {
            $msg .= "Message sent!";
        }
    } else {
        $msg .= 'Failed to move file to ' . $uploadfile;
    }
}
?>

any guidance will be appreciated.

My Form looks like this:

<form action='/submit/submit.php' method='post' name='myform'>
<input type="hidden" id="some-place" name="some_place" value="classified">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-14">
<textarea name='message' placeholder="Message..." class="form-control" rows="9" ></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name ">
<input class="form-control" type="email" name="email"  placeholder="Email" required>
</div>
<div class="row">
<input class="btnbtn-action" type='submit' value="Send" onclick="return UpdateTheHiddenField()" >
<br/><br/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
