And in my contact.html is this form code :

Code:

Thank you very much people!

You just need to insert the value name the contact form like this name="yorname"

simple mail function with php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
$to = "cyberoot1@gmail.com";
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from =$_POST['youremail'];
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>

Quote:

<form id="contact-form">
<fieldset>
<label>
<input type="text" name = "typeyourname" value="Name" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Name'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Name' ) this.value=''" />
</label>
<label>
<input type="text" name = "typeyourname"value="Email" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Email'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Email' ) this.value=''" />

<label>
<input type="text" name = "typeyourname"value="Phone" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Phone'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Phone' ) this.value=''" />
</label>
<textarea name = "typeyourname"onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Message'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Message' ) this.value=''">Message</textarea>

<a class="button" onClick="document.getElementById('contact-form').reset()">Clear</a>
<a class="button" onClick="document.getElementById('contact-form').submit()">Send</a>

But now i have another problem ...

This Phone field is not working

I become message with e mail , name and text message but there is not phone number ..

Thank you very much.

email injection

The following is not very effective in this regard:

PHP Code:


		
			
if($_POST["stripHTML"] == 'true'){ 

        $messageBody = strip_tags($messageBody); 

    }

I am not using this code anymore , I am using this code now :

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php header("Refresh: 5;url=http://www.hqwebs.eu/contacts.html"); 

$to = "hqwebs.eu@gmail.com";

$name=$_POST['name'];

$phone = $_POST['phone'];

$email = $_POST ['email'];

$message = $_POST['message'];

$headers = "From:" . $email;

mail($to,$name,$message,$headers);





if(mail){

echo "<html>";

echo "<head>";

echo "<title>HQWebs - Mail Sent</title>";

echo "</head>";

echo "<body bgcolor='#000000'>";

    echo "<center><img src='http://www.hqwebs.eu/images/mailsent.jpg'></center>";

echo "</body>";

echo "</html>";

}else{

    echo "Cannot Send your mail for error";

}

?>

But This Phone field is not working , when you send an message i got , e mail , name , text message from sender , but there is not the phone number , what should i do to fix that too ?

Thank you

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
$to = "hqwebs.eu@gmail.com";
$name=$_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST ['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From:" . $email . "Phone Numbers is :" . $phone ;
mail($to,$name,$message,$headers);

if(mail){
echo "Mail Sent.";
}else{
    echo "Cannot Send your mail for error";
}
?>

minkoko , this is an good solution , but there is an little problem.

Look at this Image :

http://s1239.beta.photobucket.com/us...5a979.jpg.html

Its telling me " Numbers is :0038766336703 <fightingforlove@greenmail.netphone> "
And it should be " Phone Number is : 0038766336703 <fightingforlove@greenmail.net> "

Can you fix this code please ? And thank you very much for spending time on my problem!

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])){

$to = "hqwebs.eu@gmail.com";
$name=$_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST ['email'];
$message = $_POST['message']. "\n\n Phone Number is " .$phone;
$headers = "From:" . $email  ;
mail($to,$name,$message,$headers);

if(mail){
echo "Mail Sent.";
}else{
    echo "Cannot Send your mail for error";
}
}
?> 
<form id=" action="email" method="post" contact-form">
<fieldset>
<label>
<input type="text" name = "name" value="Name" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Name'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Name' ) this.value=''" />
</label>
<label>
<input type="text" name = "email"vvalue="Email" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Email'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Email' ) this.value=''" />
</label>
<label>
<input type="text" name = "phone" value="Phone" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Phone'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Phone' ) this.value=''" />
</label>
<textarea name = "message" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Message'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Message' ) this.value=''">Message</textarea>
<div class="buttons-wrapper">
<a class="button" onClick="document.getElementById('contact-form').reset()">Clear</a>
<input type="submit" name="send" onClick="document.getElementById('contact-form').submit()" value="Send"></a>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>

Okay , now i got what i wanted.
Thank you very much !

Hmm , can anyone tell me how to add option "Required" to some fields ?
So when this required field in not filled then the message wont be sent , and he will get this message which is placed in this php " Cannot Send your mail for error " .

And how can I add drop down list option ?

Thank you very much !

Try the following code. I've cleaned up yours a bit to make it easier to read.
It's untested but simple enough that it should work.
I've commented it to help you

PHP Code:


		
			
<!DOCTYPE html>

$errors=false;
if(isset($_POST['send']))

        $to = "hqwebs.eu@gmail.com";
        $name=$_POST['name'];
        $phone = $_POST['phone'];
        $email = $_POST ['email'];
        $message = $_POST['message']. "\n\n Phone Number is " .$phone;
        $headers = "From:" . $email  ;
      
       /**

            echo 'Fields marked with a * are required';
        }            
        
        
    }
/**

Hope that helps

Hey CkirSter , thank you for spending your time on my problem , but this codes are not working correctly .

After filling all fields and press send button , nothing happens , and i dont become the e mail , and there is not coming the message if it was sent sucessfully or not . Its not working :S
Can you take a look on this codes and find where is problem ? Thank you very much.

I might be confusing you a little.
I was using minkoko's last code as an example. I also never tested it but can see at second glance the

PHP Code:


		
			
mail($to,$name,$message,$headers);

  if(mail)

 {

     echo "Mail Sent.";

 }

 else

 {

     echo "Cannot Send your mail for error";

 }

should read

PHP Code:


		
			
  if(mail($to,$name,$message,$headers))

 {

     echo "Mail Sent.";

 }

 else

 {

     echo "Cannot Send your mail for error";

 }

The code I added to it is there to give you a simple example of setting errors and stopping the script calling the "mail" function if there are errors.

That should help point you in the right direction
