Repeat Mail :(

skc

Hi All,

I want to get feedback from mine page and use form with mail() function after receiving $_post from form.

If someone refresh the web browser, feedback will be double. How to control this for only one feedback after submit.

You could set a session variable "mailsent" after submitting the first time; along these lines:

if(! isset($_SESSION['mailsent']))
  {

  if(mail(....))
    {
    $_SESSION['mailsent'] = true
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Your mail was already sent. Please do not press the refresh button!";
  }

Here is all code of mine.

<?php
$p =& $POST;
if (count ($p) > 0 )
{
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailTo = "info@mcc.com.np";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($POST['name']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($POST['email']));
$Address = Trim(stripslashes($POST['address']));
$Feedback = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['feedback']));
$Subject = "$Name has just send feedback";

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Address: ";
$Body .= $Address;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Feedback: ";
$Body .= $Feedback;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "IP Address: ";
$Body .= $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$Body .= "\n";

// Auto Replying
$ReplySubject = "Re: Feedback for mcc.com.np" ;

$Reply = " ";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "====================================================";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "THIS IS NOTIFICATION ONLY. DONOT REPLY THIS MESSAGE.";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "====================================================";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "Dear $Name";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "Your feedback has been successfully send to Matatirtha Computer Company Pvt. Ltd." ;
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "http://www.mcc.com.np";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "Thanks for submitting feedback" ;
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "__________________________________________";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "Matatirtha Computer Company Pvt. Ltd.";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "Matatirtha VDC Ward No.2, Gairi Gaun";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "Kathmandu, NEPAL";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "Email : info@mcc.com.np";
$Reply .= "\n";
$Reply .= "http://www.mcc.com.np";
$Reply .= "\n";

//checking for not send email twice
if (!isset($_SESSION['mailsent']))
{
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$Email>");
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
// send confirmation
mail($Email, $ReplySubject, $Reply, "From: <$Email>");

Hi,

You need to start a session before you can use them. So at the top of your page, place this line, directly after the <?

session_start();

and it should work, I think,

this works thanks you very much.
