Contact Form Not Working, Help please

[soc86]

Hi, I am a bit of a novice in PHP, but i am having blank emails sent to my email address, is anyone able to tell me where i am going wrong? My codes below:

PHP

<?php
$field_name = $_POST['full_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['email'];
$field_telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$field_message = $_POST['message'];

$mail_to = 'shaun_o_c@yahoo.co.uk';
$subject = 'Contact form'.$field_name;
$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;
$headers = 'From: '.$cf_email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$cf_email."\r\n";
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank You.');
window.location = 'index-4.html';
</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Fail ba');
window.location = 'index-4.html';
</script>
<?php
}
?>



HTML

<h2>Contact Form</h2>
<form id="ContactForm" action="contact.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div>
<div class="rows"><input name="full_name" class="input" type="text" value="Name:" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Enter your Name:'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Enter your Name:' ) this.value=''" /></div>

<a href="#" class="link1" onClick="document.getElementById('ContactForm').reset()">Reset</a>
<a href="#" class="link1" onClick="document.getElementById('ContactForm').submit()">Send</a>
</div>

You need to check if the user has actually submitted the form. Right now it looks like you are submitting the form to itself, but not checking what cause the page load. So every time someone goes to your page it causes an e-mail to be sent.

Code: Select all


<?php
if(isset($_POST)){//This line will check to see if the user actually sent
                        //variables to this page before sending an email
$field_name = $_POST['full_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['email'];
$field_telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$field_message = $_POST['message'];

$mail_to = 'shaun_o_c@yahoo.co.uk';
$subject = 'Contact form'.$field_name;
$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;
$headers = 'From: '.$cf_email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$cf_email."\r\n";
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank You.');
window.location = 'index-4.html';
</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Fail ba');
window.location = 'index-4.html';
</script>
<?php
}
}
?>

You don't have a declared method in your form tag it should say:

<form action="afdsafds.php" method="POST" ...
