 Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2004 5:48 pm Setting From field...? |
 |
|
|
I have a contact form on my website where entering an email address is required. Right now everything works fine, but I'd like to make a change..
What I want to do is..
When I recieve the information in my email account I want the email address the user specifies also used in the "From:" field in my email.
How would I go about doing this?
I hope I explained this right...  |

If this is a perl script using the "sendmail" function then you just have to assign the contents of whatever variable you are using for the "from" address to the "sendmail" from: line.
Could you post the script that builds your email. We will have a look at it. |

Sure.. here's the script...
(For security reasons, I'm taking out anything sensitive to my site.. I hope you understand 
Oh, and for credit reasons... this script is:
FormMail v5.0, Copyright 2000-2004 to Ai Graphics and Joe Lumbroso.
and now that that's done... the script:
| Code: |
*/
// for ultimate security, use this instead of using the form
$recipient = "MyEmailatWasHere.com"; // youremailatdomain.com
// bcc emails (separate multiples with commas (,))
$bcc = "";
// referers.. domains/ips that you will allow forms to
// reside on.
$referers = array (mydomain.net','www.mydomain.net');
// banned emails, these will be email addresses of people
// who are blocked from using the script (requested)
$banlist = array (ABannedatemail.com');
// field / value seperator
define("SEPARATOR", ($separator)?$separator:": ");
// content newline
define("NEWLINE", ($newline)?$newline:"\n");
// formmail version (for debugging mostly)
define("VERSION", "5.0");
// our mighty error function..
function print_error($reason,$type = 0) {
build_body($title, $bgcolor, $text_color, $link_color, $vlink_color, $alink_color, $style_sheet);

The Code that's directly on my contact page (I'm not sure if you need to see this too...) is:
| Code: |
<FORM ACTION="thelocation_of_my_script.php" METHOD=POST>
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Email From Website">
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="emailsubmission.shtml">
<b>Contact Me:</b><br>
<input type=hidden name="require" value="email">
<input type=text name="email" Value="Your Email Address">
<textarea rows="10" cols="40">
Your email address is required to use this form. You can erase this now and type your email. :)
</textarea><br>
<input TYPE="submit" VALUE=">>Send<<"></form>

I have been looking at this one for two days now and still have not found an answer for you. I am in the process of teaching myself PHP but I have a long way to go. Rather than me guessing I am going to refer you to another forum -
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=34
But if I was a betting man I would guess that the problem lies in this snippet of code that builds the headers. This is where the From: field gets its content.
| Code: |
// mail the content we figure out in the following steps
function mail_it($content, $subject, $email, $recipient) {
global $attachment_chunk, $attachment_name, $attachment_type, $attachment_sent, $bcc;
$ob = "----=_OuterBoundary_000";
$ib = "----=_InnerBoundery_001";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$email."\n";
$headers .= "To: ".$recipient."\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$email."\n";
if ($bcc) $headers .= "Bcc: ".$bcc."\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: DT Formmail".VERSION."\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n\tboundary=\"".$ob."\"\n"; |

Hi,
This is a large script just to send an e-mail... 
mjpliv,
I think your bet is correct.
Mandee
I think the problem is that you don't define your variable $email anywhere.
Your variable $recipient is hard coded in the script.
You need to define the $email variable like this:
Hope this helps.... keep me posted.
| Code: |
$email=$_POST['email'];
|
PHP gets the information from the form thru the $_POST[] variable or as in older versions of PHP thru the $HTTP_POST_VARS variable.
PHP does not know that $email has to have the value of email from the form if you do not define it. Using the same name doesn't do the trick. |
