Feedback form

**tannajay** · 30th April 2008, 02:58 PM

I have designed two forms, first one is feedbackform.html and the second one is messagesent.php.
When someone fills in the feedbackform and clicks submit, it gives the message that Thank you for message. We will respond as soon as we can. My feedback form is suppose to send me the comments to my email address but unfortunately it doesn't do that. I have checked my code again and again but can't see what I have done wrong.
Following is the code for my feedbackform.html:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
Website comments/Suggestions
<form id="frm_message" name="frm_message" method="post" action="messagesent.php">
  <table width="482" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2">Website comments/Suggestions </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Your email address </td>
      <td><input name="emailaddress" type="text" id="emailaddress" size="55" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Subject</td>
      <td><label>
      <input name="subject" type="text" id="subject" size="55" />
      </label></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Comments</td>
      <td><textarea name="textarea" cols="55"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

My code for the messagesent.php is as follows:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<p>
<?php
mail($_POST['jtanna1@gamil.com'], $_POST['subject'],
$_POST ['textarea']);
?>
</p>
<p>Thank you for message. We will respond as soon as we can.  </p>
</body>
</html>

Would someone help me please. Check the above two and see where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Jay

Id hate for this to be the problem but, is your address a gmail account? or gamil account? lol

No I used the school email address and it didn't work. This morning I put gmail address and it did work so I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the other addresses.
Sorry I noticed that you were just referring to the spelling mistake. With the correct gmail address it does work, but doesn't work with hotmail or the school email address. I am certain that I have not got a spelling mistake.

Well spotted that man

**el8linuxel8** · 1st May 2008, 12:40 PM

Hm, thats interesting, why dont you try printing the contents of your $_POSTS to try to debug?

Have you managed to get any other of your PHP scripts to send an email?
There is some settings in the php.ini file you need to set before you can send mail using a PHP script.

I set these in the PHP script where I need it to send an email:

ini_set('SMTP','email server address');
ini_set('smtp_port','25');
ini_set('sendmail_from','somename@someemailaddress .com');

Are you running on IIS and windows server?

Your call to the mail function appears to be wrong in messagesent.php, you are passing a variable to it that has not been declaired: $_POST['jtanna1@gamil.com']

It should read something like:

Code:

mail('jtanna1@gmail.com', $_POST['subject'], $_POST['textarea'], 'From: '.$_POST['emailaddress']."\r\n");

Take a look here for more info on the mail function.

Hope that is of some help,

Iain
