Hi Everyone,
I have used PHP Solutions by David Powers to put together a contact form for my web site but I can't get the items in the checkbox to show in my email message. Please could anyone suggest what I need to do to get this to work. I have read the book over and over and tried lots of variations. The book has examples to download but none of these explain or show in simple terms what to do.
Here is the code :
<?php
if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) {
$to ='ronwoodtd@gmail.com';
$subject ='Party Enquiry';
$headers='webmaster@jollygoodfun.co.uk';
//list expected fields
$expected = array('first_name', 'last_name', 'telephone', 'email', 'comments', 'entertainment');
// set required fields
$required =array('first_name', 'last_name', 'telephone', 'email', 'entertainment');
// create empty array for missing fields
$missing =array();
// assume nothing is suspect
$suspect = false;
// create a pattern to locate suspect phrases
$pattern = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
// function to check for suspect phrases
function isSuspect($val, $pattern, &$suspect) {
// if the variable is an array, loop through each element
// and pass it recursively back to the same function
if (is_array($val)) {
foreach ($val as $item) {
isSuspect($item, $pattern, $suspect);
}
} else {
// if one of the suspect phrases is found, set Boolean to true
if (preg_match($pattern, $val)) {
$suspect = true;
}
}
}
if ($suspect) {
$mailSent = false;
unset($missing);
}
else {
/* process the variables */
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
// assign to temporary variable and strip whitespace if not an array
$temp = is_array($value) ? $value : trim($value);
// if empty and required, add to $missing array
if (empty($temp) && in_array($key, $required)) {
$missing[] = $key;
} elseif (in_array($key, $expected)) {
// otherwise, assign to a variable of the same name as $key
${$key} = $temp;
}
}
}
// go ahead only if not suspect and all required fields ok
if (!$suspect && empty($missing)) {
/* build the message */
$message = "First Name: $first_name\n\n";
$message .= "Last Name: $last_name\n\n";
$message .= "Telephone: $telephone\n\n";
$message .= "Email: $email\n\n";
$message .= "Comments: $comments\n\n";
$message .= "Entertainment: $entertainment";
/* limit line length to 70 characters */
$message =wordwrap($message, 70);
/* send it */
$mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($mailSent) {
// $missing is no longer needed if email is sent, so unset it
unset($missing);
}
}
}
