Hey guys,
I have a bit of an issue here that I'm not sure what the cause of it may be. I have built a basic PHP contact form with basic conditionals and verifiers. The form seems to work, but not every time. I set my email for delivery to be Yahoo.com one and I seem to only get form submissions once every while, instead of every time form is submitted. I try different steps (like refreshing, not filling out fields to cause conditional error and then submitting, etc), but so far nothing conclusive.
Is this something with server settings I need to adjust? Is it Yahoo problem? Is it problem with my code? Please check it out and let me know what the solution might be to this.
Here is the code:
<?php
if(empty($_POST)) {
$status = '';
$display_form = true;
}
else {
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$lname = $_POST['lname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$security = $_POST['security'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$error_list = array();
if(empty($fname)) {
$error_list[] = 'First Name is required';
}
if(empty($lname)) {
$error_list[] = 'Last Name is required';
}
if(empty($email)) {
$error_list[] = 'Email Address is required';
}
if(empty($message)) {
$error_list[] = 'Message is required';
}
if ($security != "52190") {
$error_list[] = 'Security Number is incorrect';
}
if(empty($error_list)) {
$email_contents = "The following message was sent to you from your website:\n\n ";
$email_contents .= "fname: $fname\n ";
$email_contents .= "lname: $lname\n ";
$email_contents .= "email: $email\n\n ";
$email_contents .= "$subject \n\n ";
$email_contents .= $message;
$extra_headers = "From: $name <$email>\n\n ";
$extra_headers .= "User Email: $email ";
mail('example@yahoo.com' ,'Contact Form Submission From Openwave', $email_contents, $extra_headers);
$status = "<ul><li>Message Sent. Thanks, $fname! </li></ul>";
$display_form = false;
}
else{
$status = '<ul>';
foreach($error_list as $error_message) {
$status .= "<li>$error_message</li>";
}
$status .= '</ul>';
$display_form = true;
}
}
?>
