Any CSS coders out there: Help? - DPChallenge Forums

This is what I have set up for my form on my website

Now, I just can't figure out what the code is for making sure I get sent the information to MY email address...with all the relevant information...can anyone help?

Do you have a script called contact.php? - This is what actually sends the email.

Yup...I'm just taking a look at it now...didn't realize I had it in my folder.

Looks like this

if(!$_POST) exit;

$email = $_POST['email'];

//$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]

{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS';
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-]

[a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){
$error.="Invalid email address entered";
$errors=1;
}
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$values = array ('name','email','message');
$required = array('name','email','message');

$your_email = "info@studiof7.com";
$email_subject = "New Message: ".$_POST['subject'];
$email_content = "new message:\n";

foreach($values as $key => $value){
if(in_array($value,$required)){
if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') {
if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'PLEASE FILL

IN REQUIRED FIELDS'; exit; }
}
$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
}
}

if(@mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) {
echo 'Message sent!';
} else {
echo 'ERROR!';
}
}
?>

I'm getting an error though...not sure what to change...

First, I *think* the recipient email address is $your_email = "info@studiof7.com";

It looks like it's using a function called @mail() to actually send the email. Is it failing at that point?

Has this worked for you before? - You need to make sure your mail server is setup correctly to send out emails. (There are a few different ways to send emails programatically) - It depends on where you're hosting your site, whether it's windows/linux etc..

This is my first attempt.

As soon as I fill out the information and click the send button, I get this error:

$value){ if(in_array($value,$required)){ if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') { if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'PLEASE FILL IN REQUIRED FIELDS'; exit; } } $email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n"; } } if(@mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) { echo 'Message sent!'; } else { echo 'ERROR!'; } } ?>

That's not really an error, it's just spitting out a chunk of that php at you. To me it looks like your web server isn't actually running the php code properly. (i.e. instead of running the php, it just displays the file)

Here's a simple test to make sure php is running on your web server. First, do this. If this works, then the problem is elsewhere. //www.gilesorr.com/papers/PHP/x37.html

Yup, agree with John that you need to make sure PHP is actually running first. Oh, and delete the info.php file afterwards as its gold dust to the bad people out there.

Also, this isn't CSS coding, LOL.

It may just be the way you have pasted it but this should be two lines rather than 4 with returns between them.

Like this,

//$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS';
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){

Though the first line is commented out and the script seems to work with or without it.

If it is spitting out the lines of code you have posted above as an 'error' there is something wrong somewhere with something that wasn't posted, the script works OK for me.

And if it helps, as Don said it isn't CSS its PHP ;)

Yeah, it works.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge here...I was testing it out without having the actual files on my server to see what would happen. Once on the server, it all worked just fine. Thanks for all the help guys!
