Hello to all, im sorry if repeat someone with this thread. I did seacrh and didnt found a solution of my problem:
I have a contact form with 3 textareas:
1-NAME
2-E-MAIL
3-COMMENTS
And whats happend in test. If i fill everything correct in this 3 areas the script telling me that i didnt fill the Name field, which i did filled
This is on home pc with abyss on it, php suport added and so on the script working but not at all as u see.When i upload the form in a free server with php suport theres no problem averything work fine, so i dont have any clue where im wrong. I did setup my php environment as it described at the abyss thread for this.
Thats the code i use in php file
| Quote: | <?php
$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
$comments = $HTTP_POST_VARS['comments'];
if (strlen($name) == 0)
{
echo "It appears that you have forgot to fill in your name in the Name field. Please use the Back Button to return to the form and enter your name. Thank you!";
exit;
}
if (strlen($name) >=25)
{
echo "The length limit for the Name field cannot exceed 25 characters / spaces. Please use the Back Button to return to the form and shorten this entry. Thank you!";
exit;
}
if (strlen($email) == 0)
{
echo "The E-mail field is a required entry. Please use the Back Button to return to the form and enter a contact E-mail address. Thank you!";
exit;
}
if (strlen($email) >= 25)
{
echo "The length limit for the E-Mail field cannot exceed 25 characters / spaces. Please use the Back Button to return to the form and shorten this entry. Thank you!";
exit;
}
if (! ereg('[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+', $email))
{
echo "I believe that there is an error in the way you entered your E-mail address. Please check your entry and re-submit. Thank you!";
exit;
}
if (strlen($comments) >= 300)
{
echo "The comments area is limited to 300 characters / spaces. It appears that you have exceeded that limit. Please use the back button to return to the form and shorten this entry.Thank you!";
exit;
}
if (substr_count($comments , '@') > "2")
{
echo "For security reasons this text (comments) area limits the number of @ symbols that can appear within it. It would appear that you have exceeded that number. Please use the Back Button to return to the form and correct this. Thank you for your patience!";
exit;
}
//SEND MAIL
$mailto = "incomin@mypage.com";
$mailsubj = "Submisions From verysoon.info";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values Submitted From VERYSOON.INFO Form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
mail($mailto,$mailsubj,$mailbody,$mailhead);
echo "Thank you for visiting our site and filling out our form. We will get back to you very soon!";
?> |
Thats the code of the contact page, where the form is
| Quote: | <form name="bp_c_us" method="POST" action="thanks.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" id="Editbox1" style="position:absolute;left:92px;top:21px;width:198px;border:1px #C09F23 solid;background-color:#B9BCC1;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:11px;z-index:0" size="39" name="name" value="" maxlength="25">

<textarea name="comments" id="TextArea1" style="position:absolute;left:92px;top:81px;width:313px;height:80px;border:1px #C09F23 solid;background-color:#B9BCC1;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:11px;z-index:2" rows="5" cols="58">You can put your inquiries too.</textarea> |

Are you running a mail server?
or
Have you set the smtp server in the php.ini to point to a mail relayer?
If you say no to both of those then there is your problem :-)
Also what is the error you get when running it on Abyss?

I dont have a mail server on this machine, but i did set up the smtp.server in the php.ini.
The point is that theres no error due sending process couse i cant reach to the sending process, simply my form tells me that im not filled the "Name" filed in the form but i actually i typed my name there. (just the form is coded with security issues and non blank fields)
Ive upload the same files on a free server with php support and SMTP is OFF and the form works good without any errors, no matter that im no recieving anything couse of SMTP off. |

$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
change this to
$name = $_POST['name'];
and do the same for the others, then try again. This is what I use on my forms.
You may also have to include an
if($_POST){
script
}
around your script.

And for your check if the email field length is 0, I'd raise it from 0 to 6. Because it takes at least 7 characters to possibly be valid. The shortest an email address could possibly be is x@x.xx (7 characters).
Also, why limit the email address to 25 characters? I know of more than 2 email addresses that exceed 25 charcters.
