Unhappy Mail Form
Well, In my php mail form whenever someone sends a message it's made so it sends their IP address aswell. Now, I want to find out the host name like in vBulliten. Is this possible?
Code:
<?php

session_start();
  
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "----------@gmail.com";
$EmailTo = "-----------@gmail.com";
$Subject = "Contact Form Submission";
$Username = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['user'])); 
$EmailAddress = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['addrss'])); 
$gender = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['gen'])); 
$browser1 = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr1'])); 
$browser2 = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr2']));
$browser3 = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr3']));
$position = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['pos']));
$other = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['other'])); 
$summary = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['sum']));

// validation
if(!empty($Username) && !empty($EmailAddress) && !empty($summary) && 

($_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code']) && 

(!empty($_SESSION['security_code'])) )
{
    // prepare email body text
    $Body = "
   REMOTE_ADDR: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}
    Username: $Username
    EmailAddress: $EmailAddress
    gender: $gender
    browser1: $browser1
    browser2: $browser2
    browser3: $browser3
    position: $position
    other: $other
    summary: $summary
    
    ";
    $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <" . $EmailFrom . ">");
    if ($success)
    {
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=index.php\">";
    }
    else
    {
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";
    } 
    print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" 

content=\"0;URL=http://notre.pakman20.com/index.php\">";
    unset($_SESSION['security_code']);
    exit;
}
else
{
    // meta refresh error
    print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contact_error.php\">";
    exit;
}

That is achieved by using $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'], or gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']).

Excellent. Perhaps next time you reply you can provide some input such as what didn't work, what errors you got, and what code you used.

Of course, I used this "$_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']" and put it below the REMOTE_ADDR. But when I tested it nothing showed up in that space on the email.

Oh, and If you remember you helped me with almost the same thing a while ago. http://www.codingforums.com/showthre...727#post604727

Ah, I thought it looked familiar.

Try this:
PHP Code:
$hostname = !empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']) ? $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] : gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    $Body = "
    REMOTE_ADDR: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}
    REMOTE_HOST: $hostname
    Username: $Username
    EmailAddress: $EmailAddress
    gender: $gender
    browser1: $browser1
    browser2: $browser2
    browser3: $browser3
    position: $position
    other: $other
    summary: $summary
    
    ";

So, It would look like this?

Code:
<?php

session_start();
  
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "----------@gmail.com";
$EmailTo = "-----------@gmail.com";
$Subject = "Contact Form Submission";
$Username = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['user'])); 
$EmailAddress = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['addrss'])); 
$gender = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['gen'])); 
$browser1 = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr1'])); 
$browser2 = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr2']));
$browser3 = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr3']));
$position = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['pos']));
$other = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['other'])); 
$summary = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['sum']));

// validation
if(!empty($Username) && !empty($EmailAddress) && !empty($summary) && 

($_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code']) && 

(!empty($_SESSION['security_code'])) )
{
    // prepare email body text
$hostname = !empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']) ? $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] : gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    $Body = "
    REMOTE_ADDR: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}
    REMOTE_HOST: $hostname
    Username: $Username
    EmailAddress: $EmailAddress
    gender: $gender
    browser1: $browser1
    browser2: $browser2
    browser3: $browser3
    position: $position
    other: $other
    summary: $summary
    
    ";  
    $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <" . $EmailFrom . ">");
    if ($success)
    {
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=index.php\">";
    }
    else
    {
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";
    } 
    print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" 

content=\"0;URL=http://notre.pakman20.com/index.php\">";
    unset($_SESSION['security_code']);
    exit;
}
else
{
    // meta refresh error
    print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contact_error.php\">";
    exit;
}
Now for some reason I keep getting the error which means somethings missing that's required... I'm wondering if it's in the like *required area.

Yeah, that code should work. Check the names of your form fields to make sure they're the same as what you're using and make sure the security code is being set.

It has to be the contact one because I don't have a regular error page.

Try this code, and when it doesn't work post the form.
PHP Code:
session_start();
  
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "----------@gmail.com";
$EmailTo = "-----------@gmail.com";
$Subject = "Contact Form Submission";
$Username = trim(stripslashes($_POST['user'])); 
$EmailAddress = trim(stripslashes($_POST['addrss'])); 
$gender = trim(stripslashes($_POST['gen'])); 
$browser1 = trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr1'])); 
$browser2 = trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr2']));
$browser3 = trim(stripslashes($_POST['brwsr3']));
$position = trim(stripslashes($_POST['pos']));
$other = trim(stripslashes($_POST['other'])); 
$summary = trim(stripslashes($_POST['sum']));

// validation
if(!empty($Username)
&& !empty($EmailAddress)
&& !empty($summary)
&& !empty($_SESSION['security_code'])
&& $_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code'] )
{
    // prepare email body text
    $hostname = !empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']) ? $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] : gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    $Body = "
    REMOTE_ADDR: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}
    REMOTE_HOST: $hostname
    Username: $Username
    EmailAddress: $EmailAddress
    gender: $gender
    browser1: $browser1
    browser2: $browser2
    browser3: $browser3
    position: $position
    other: $other
    summary: $summary
    
    ";  
    $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <" . $EmailFrom . ">");
    if ($success)
    {
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=index.php\">";
    }
    else
    {
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";
    } 
    print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://notre.pakman20.com/index.php\">";
    unset($_SESSION['security_code']);
    exit;
}
else
{
    // meta refresh error
    print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contact_error.php\">";
    exit;
}

Ok, I'm trying to make a new one...

Code:
<?php

session_start();
  
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['from']));
$EmailTo = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['to']));
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['sub']));
$Bod = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['bod']));

// validation
if(!empty($Username) && !empty($EmailAddress) && !empty($Body) 


    // prepare email body text
    $Body = "$Bod
    ";

    $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <" . $EmailFrom . ">");
    if ($success)
    {
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=index.php\">";
    }
    else
    {
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contact_error.php\">";
    } 
    ?>
But this time I need to be able to input the email and the email it will go to from the form itself. Would this work along with this(see below)? Because I keep getting a "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/p/a/k/pakman20/html/notre/mail2.php on line 16"

Code:
<font size="1" face="arial"><form name="reg" method="POST" action="mail2.php">


   <center>   <p><b>Email From:</b><br />
      <input type="text" size="20" name="from" />
      <p><b>Email To:</b><br />

      <input type="text" size="20" name="to" />
      <p><b>Subject:</b><br />
<input type="text" size="20" name="sub" />
      <p><b>Body:</b><br />
    <textarea rows="5" cols="30" name="bod"></textarea></font><font size="1" face="Arial">
<p><input type=reset value="Reset"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></font>
         </form>
<p></center>
