Email Form ?

[Anon]

Hello :-)

I´m really new to the concept of PHP. I have only known about it for three hours now, but I´m really stuck with a problem and I hope someone can help me here...

I´m using a PHP file that controls a flash email form. The problem is that when I have installed all the files on my webserver that host´s my homepage and then try the flash movie i get a return message in one of the flash text fields sayin that "spaming isen´t allowed on this server that I´m using".

Hmmmmm...bellow here you can view the code that the PHP is built with.

There is some reference to spaming in it, so I guess that some part of the code maby could be removed to make it work only if I could know that arrggggghh.......:

I hope that this script is the simplest way to send mail using PHP3.

/How many times at a stretch visitor can send mail using the script (2 times default)/

/And after what amount of time allow that visitor to send mail again (1 hour default)/
$ok = 3600;

$php_header = "From: $name <$from>\n".

Welcome to PHP!

The script is setting then reading a cookie to see how many times email was sent from the server by a client. you can remove that check like so:

$php_header = "From: $name <$from>\n"."X-Mailer: Polar Lights Studios/Flash-PHP3 script";
$antispam = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["times"];
$message_tosent=$message."\n\n send by $REMOTE_ADDR.";

if (@Mail($to, $subject, $message_tosent, $php_header))
{
echo "&info=Mail sent. Thank you. A confirmation email wil be sent. &";
$confirm_to = $name . "<$from>";
$confirm_header = "From: Customer Service<mail@yoursite>";
$confirm_message = "Your message has been sent. \nTo: $to\nSubject: $subject\n";
$confirm_subject = "Email Confirmation";

@mail($confirm_to,$confirm_subject,$confirm_message,$confirm_header); 
}

else
{
echo "&info=Error. Please try later.&";
}
