how do I get this code to send me an email with the person who is sending it email in the from area of an email, right now it puts my own email address in there so i cant hit reply send. i have to manually copy paste the senders email from the contents of the mail that i receive.

here is the code im using:
<?

// Configuration Settings
$SendTo = "[email protected]";
$SubjectLine = "subject";
$ThanksURL = "thankyou.html"; //confirmation page
$Divider = "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~";

// Build Message Body from Web Form Input
$MsgBody = @gethostbyaddr($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]) . "\n$Divider\n";
foreach ($_POST as $Field=>$Value)
$MsgBody .= "$Field: $Value\n";
$MsgBody .= "$Divider\n" . $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] . "\n";
$MsgBody = htmlspecialchars($MsgBody); //make content safe

// Send E-Mail and Direct Browser to Confirmation Page
mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine, $MsgBody, $emailaddress ,"From: $http_referrer\n");
header("Location: $ThanksURL");
?>

pstation · 04-04-2005, 04:28 PM

PHP Code:


			
<?



// Configuration Settings

$SendTo = "[email protected]";

$SubjectLine = "subject";

$ThanksURL = "thankyou.html"; //confirmation page

$Divider = "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~";



// Build Message Body from Web Form Input

$MsgBody = @gethostbyaddr($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]) . "\n$Divider\n";

foreach ($_POST as $Field=>$Value)

$MsgBody .= "$Field: $Value\n";

$MsgBody .= "$Divider\n" . $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] . "\n";

$MsgBody = htmlspecialchars($MsgBody); //make content safe



// Send E-Mail and Direct Browser to Confirmation Page

mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine, $MsgBody, $emailaddress ,"From: $http_referrer\n");

header("Location: $ThanksURL");

?>

xl11 · 04-04-2005, 04:41 PM

something is wrong with this variable -> $http_referrer
post code of the form that you use with this script

xl11 · 04-04-2005, 04:46 PM

try something like this mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine, $MsgBody, "From: $emailaddress\n");

show me the html of your form, i need to see how you store the email address of the visitor. Subject line changes with variable $subject = "type anything here";

swedguy · 04-04-2005, 04:52 PM

If the form variable where the senders email in is called "senderemai", it should look like this:

mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine, $MsgBody, "From: ".$_REQUEST["senderemai"]."\n");

Change "senderemai" to what it is really called.

swedguy · 04-04-2005, 04:52 PM

Ok, it looks like it is called: "emailaddress" so change it to that.

vysniukas · 04-04-2005, 04:54 PM

this will help:
mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine, $MsgBody, "From: ".$_REQUEST["emailaddress"]);

vysniukas · 04-04-2005, 04:55 PM

and by the way,
$SubjectLine = "subject"; here changes the subject line

You should Google up the PHP mail() function and read a bit about it to understand it. It's really simple. Glad you got it working though.

austinth · 04-04-2005, 05:02 PM

the email address field is working great.

the subject is still not changing though, here is what i tried:

mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine = "subject", $MsgBody, "From: ".$_REQUEST["emailaddress"]."\n");

this sends the email properly but still doesnt change the subject line and this way:

mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine = "subject";, $MsgBody, "From: ".$_REQUEST["emailaddress"]."\n");

doesn't send out at all.

any ideas?

swedguy · 04-04-2005, 05:03 PM

<?

// Configuration Settings
$SendTo = "[email protected]";
$SubjectLine = "subject";
$ThanksURL = "thankyou.html"; //confirmation page
$Divider = "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~";

That the $SubjectLine you need to change.

austinth · 04-04-2005, 05:08 PM

how do i get that to pull from the list of subjects in the drop down menu on the email form page, instead of the generic 'subject' that it puts in on the feedback php page?

swedguy · 04-04-2005, 05:31 PM

mail($SendTo, $_REQUEST["subject"], $MsgBody, "From: ".$_REQUEST["senderemai"]."\n");

austinth · 04-04-2005, 05:46 PM

Thank You!! That did it, it works like a charm, both the email and subject are exactly the way i wanted them be when the form is used.

You just made my day Swedguy, i have been looking around for the right code for this for a while now.

Your help is much appreciated.
