Another email form question

atomant

Hi!

I have made a working email form (html page which calls php script to send mail).

What I would like to do is merge both scripts together to have only one file (php). My php code is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

<?PHP
$to = "admin@konik.homelinux.net";
$subject = "$POST[subject]";
$headers .= "From: $POST[name] <$POST[email]>";
$message = "$POST[message]";

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

<head>

<title>Thank you / Merci</title>
</head>

<body>

<p><b><font size="5">We will send you username and password to your e-mail
address. </font></b></p>
<p><b><font size="5">Votre identifiant et votre mot de passe seront envoyés a
votre adresse e-mail.</font></b></p>
<a href="https://konik.homelinux.net">Home / Accueil</a></font></p>
</body>

</html>

and my html code is:

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
<title>KONIK</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=#ffffff vlink=#daa520 link=#d2691e>
<table width=600>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<p align="center"><font color="#0000FF"><b>REQUEST FOR AN ACCOUNT / DEMANDE POUR
UN COMPTE</b></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<p align="center"><b>KONIK POLSKI</b></p>
<form method="POST" action="form.php" enctype="form">

<p align="left"><b>Message</b><p align="left">
<textarea rows="10" name="message" cols="70"></textarea><p align="left">

</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

</html>

Can anyone suggest me where and what changes I have to make in php script ?

Best way to merge those two is to run an

If else loop...

if (!submit)
{

Place the code for the form in here

}

else

place the code for the processing script here... This is ensure that the form is shown until the submit button is pushed, then the loop will exit the if and start processing the else which is the processing PHP script.

If you wish to require form fields, do..

if ($field1, $field2) // etc
{

// other IF statements and code here

}
else
{
print "havnt filled in all require fields";
}

Thanx, I'll try both options to see.

I have tried option with if else loop...

It doesn't work. When I start it it passes directly to the else statment. Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

<?
if (!submit)
{
?>

	<form>

	<head>
	<title>KONIK</title>
	</head>

	<body bgcolor=#ffffff vlink=#daa520 link=#d2691e>

	<table width=600>

	<tr>
	<td align="center">
	<p align="center"><font color="#0000FF"><b>REQUEST FOR AN ACCOUNT / DEMANDE POUR UN COMPTE</b></font></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td align="center">
	<p align="center"><b>KONIK POLSKI</b></p>

	<p align="left"><b>Name / Nom</b><br>

	<input type="text" name="name" size=40>

	<p align="left"><b>E-mail</b><br>

	<input type="text" name="email" size=40>


	<p align="left"><b>Message</b><p align="left">
	<textarea rows="10" name="message" cols="70"></textarea><p align="left">

	<input type="submit" value="Send / Envoi">


	<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Demande pour un compte KONIK">


	</form>

<?
}
else
{
?>

		<?
		$to = "admin@konik.homelinux.net";
		$subject = "$subject";
		$headers .= "From: $name <$email>";
		$message = "$message";

		mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
		?>

		<head>

		<title>Thank you / Merci</title>
		</head>

		<body>
		<p><b><font size="5">We will send you username and password to your e-mail address. </font></b></p>
		<p><b><font size="5">Votre identifiant et votre mot de passe seront envoyés a votre adresse e-mail.</font></b></p>
		<a href="https://konik.homelinux.net">Home / Accueil</a></font></p>
		</body>

<?
}
?>

</html>

What am I doing wrong here ?

Ok..ur confused a little, look, do what I say...

Make one page with your html code ONLY, lets say for arguements sake its called "send1.php", in this file you will have...

<head> 
<title>KONIK</title> 
</head> 

<body bgcolor=#ffffff vlink=#daa520 link=#d2691e> 

[b]<form action="send2.php" method="post">[/b]

<table width=600> 

<tr> 
<td align="center"> 
<p align="center"><font color="#0000FF"><b>REQUEST FOR AN ACCOUNT / DEMANDE POUR UN COMPTE</b></font></td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td align="center"> 
<p align="center"><b>KONIK POLSKI</b></p> 

<p align="left"><b>Name / Nom</b><br> 

<input type="text" name="name" size=40> 

<p align="left"><b>E-mail</b><br> 

<input type="text" name="email" size=40> 


<p align="left"><b>Message</b><p align="left"> 
<textarea rows="10" name="message" cols="70"></textarea><p align="left"> 

<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Demande pour un compte KONIK"> 

<input type="submit" value="Send / Envoi"> 

</form>

Note the "<form action="send2.php" method=post">" bit? you need somethin for your page to get submitted to; in this case your page will be submitted to "submit2.php" -- so make a "submit2.php" file.

Now, in the submit2.php file include the following code...

<?php

// Im not sure what fields you want to be "required fields", so ill put them all as required and u can change them

if ($name && $email && $message)
{

$sendtoo = "admin@konik.homelinux.net"; 
$subject = "$subject"; 
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>"; 
$msg = "$message"; 

// Check and see if the mail(); function has worked...

if (mail($sendtoo, $subject, $msg, "From: $email"))
{

// You can also  include any other html code here to make your page look more appropriate

print "Thank you $name, your submission has been successful!";

}
else
{

print "The email has not been sent";

}


}
else
{

print "please fill in all required fields";

}

?>

Well I allready have two pages and I want these two merge into one single php page.
Is this possible ?

mo0ness

Sure it is! Use the same code just lay it out a little differently...

U kinda "merge" what i said and what u first done...

Make 1 file called "submit.php" or whatever u want, in this file put the following code...

<?php

if (!$submit)
{

?>

<head> 
<title>KONIK</title> 
</head> 

<body bgcolor=#ffffff vlink=#daa520 link=#d2691e> 

[b]<?php print "<form action=\"$PHP_SELF;\" method=\"post\">"; ?> [/b]

<table width=600> 

<tr> 
<td align="center"> 
<p align="center"><font color="#0000FF"><b>REQUEST FOR AN ACCOUNT / DEMANDE POUR UN COMPTE</b></font></td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td align="center"> 
<p align="center"><b>KONIK POLSKI</b></p> 

<p align="left"><b>Name / Nom</b><br> 

<input type="text" name="name" size=40> 

<p align="left"><b>E-mail</b><br> 

<input type="text" name="email" size=40> 


<p align="left"><b>Message</b><p align="left"> 
<textarea rows="10" name="message" cols="70"></textarea><p align="left"> 

<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Demande pour un compte KONIK"> 

<input type="submit" value="Send / Envoi"> 

</form>

<?

}
else
{

if ($name && $email && $message)
{

$sendtoo = "admin@konik.homelinux.net"; 
$subject = "$subject"; 
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>"; 
$msg = "$message"; 

// Check and see if the mail(); function has worked...

if (mail($sendtoo, $subject, $msg, "From: $email"))
{

// You can also  include any other html code here to make your page look more appropriate

print "Thank you $name, your submission has been successful!";

}
else
{

print "The email has not been sent";

}


}
else
{

print "please fill in all required fields";

}

}

?>

As u can see, ive changed the form action to point to $PHP_SELF; -- you should read up on it, but theres not much to read I shudnt think.. $PHP_SELF is bascially so the page gets submitted to the same file as its submitted from..if that makes sence?

Anyway, put the code I included in this post in send.php and tell us the result 🙂 Good luck!

atomant

No, it doesn't work. First I got error 403 can't find /; so I have removed ";" just after $PHP_SELF from
<?php print "<form action=\"$PHP_SELF; \" method=\"post\">"; ?>
but after it doesn't show the confirmation page but just the form again.
Any idea ?

BuzzLY

Create a hidden field in your form:

<input type="hidden" name="op" value="sent">

Then, instead of if(!$submit), simply use:

if ($_POST[op] != "sent") {

PUT YOUR HTML FORM HERE

} else {

PUT YOUR PHP CODE HERE

}

atomant

It still doesn't work. Looks like I'll stay with two files for now.
