[PHP] Email Contact form

[cillian]

Just a simple Email contact form coded in PHP, This is aimed more towards people who know HTML.

Tomorrow I will make one with a HTML site, but not now as its 1:05 am =p

Anyway just save this as a php file and upload it etc.

<?php

/* Subject & Email Variables */

$emailSubject = 'Insert Subject Here';
$webMaster = 'youemail@domain.com';

/* Data Gathering Variables */

$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$commentField = $_POST['comment'];

/* You can add more fields like above for by copying and pasting another. and editing the $_POST and $<NAME>Field */

$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Email: $email <br>
Name: $name <br>
Comment: $comment <br>
EOD;

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers = "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = Mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers");

/* Insert HTML between EOD tags for what to show person */

$results = <<<EOD
Thank you for you Email
EOD;
echo "$results";


?>

this is useful. +rep
this can be used for reporting bugs to server admins, plus, applications. for the server owners who dont want forum spammed with "my app" posts lol

[cillian]

It really isn't hard to convert to HTML. Hope you do Cillian!

[cillian]

Yeah I'll do it when I'm back home and have my PC. :)

Nice release, Cillian. Many people will find this useful :)

People may also want to change the headers so that they know the email is from the contact form, for example:
$headers = "From: Your Website Email Notification" . "\r\n" .
"Reply-To: $nameField <$emailField>" . "\r\n";
mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

And to prevent unauthorised execution of this script you may want to make sure that the form has actually been submitted, so in your HTML page you have:
<input type="submit" name="submitContactForm" value="Send Email" />

and in the PHP file at the top:
$submit = $_POST['submitContactForm'];

if (isset($submit)) {
...Rest of the code...
}
