Thread: Simple contact form problems with php script

I set up a contact form on the index page at www.drink4health.biz

I used the step by step instructions at

http://youandmelinkup.info/forms/stepbystep.html

The form sends e-mail, but it uses the address typed in the e-mail box instead of my address. I typed my address into the processingpage.php script (j.lomb@comcast.net) as instructed, but somehow I keep getting this unexpected result. The information is just resent back to the person who is trying to register.

This is the content of the file processingpage.php

<?PHP
// Receiving variables
@$name = addslashes($_POST['name']);
@$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
@$comments = addslashes($_POST['comments']);
// error checking
if (strlen($name) == 0 )
{
header("Location: name_error.html");
exit;
}
if (strlen($email) == 0 )
{
header("Location: email_error.html");
exit;
}
if (! ereg('[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+', $email))
{
header("Location: email_error.html");
exit;
}
if (substr_count($comments, '@') > "2")
{
header("Location: comments_error.html");
exit;
}
//Sending Email to form owner
$mailto = "j.lomb@comcast.net";
$mailsubj = "Feedback from my website form";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values from my website form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
// Autoresponder
$mailto = "j.lomb@comcast.net";
$mailsubj = "Copy of the info you Submitted";
$mailhead = "From: website form\n";
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
header("Location: confirmationpage.html");
?>



Thank you.

Ok, i tested the form and i received the autoresponder message.

Please note that as you have set it now, it is wrong. You will send BOTH the main message AND the autoresponder message to your self. Probably, as it was before, it was correct: sending one mail to you, and the autoresponder mail to the visitor.
