Hey. How on earth do i make a contact form with this code........ im useless with php but i HAVE to use this code for a contact form i really dont know where to start.

Code: Select all

<?
function antispam()
{
// First, make sure the form was posted from a browser.
// For basic web-forms, we don't care about anything
// other than requests from a browser:
    if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
        die("Forbidden - You are not authorized to view this page");
        exit;
    }
// Make sure the form was indeed POST'ed:
    //  (requires your html form to use: action="post")
    if (!$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
        die("Forbidden - You are not authorized to view this page");
        exit;
    }
// Make sure the form was posted from an approved host name.
    if (!strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], "cashincar")) {
        //logBadRequest();
        header("HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden");
        exit;
    }
// Attempt to defend against header injections:
    $badStrings = array("Content-Type:",
    "MIME-Version:",
    "Content-Transfer-Encoding:",
    "bcc:",
    "cc:",
    "http://"    );
// Loop through each POST'ed value and test if it contains
    // one of the $badStrings:
    foreach($_POST as $k => $v){
        foreach($badStrings as $v2){
            if (strpos($v, $v2) !== false) {
                //        logBadRequest();
                header("HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden");
                exit;
            }
        }
        
    }
    
}
// do stuff to the post
if ($_POST) {
antispam();
while (list($key, $value) = each($_POST)) {
$$key = $value;
$message .=$key.": ".$value."\n";
}
//mail form    
$message = "There has been a message/request from ".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."\n\n".$message;
$message .="-----------------------\n\n";
$message = stripslashes($message);
mail("web@geneticsltd.co.uk", "Genetics Feedback", $message, "From: web@geneticsltd.co.uk");
} 
?>

Well, the Script dynamically tests all POSTed content for illegal characters.. so you can do whatever you want in your contact form. Save the code you posted as "check.php" and take this as an example:

HTML: Select all

<html>
<head>
<title>My Contact Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="contact" action="check.php" method="POST">
Your name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br />
Your email: <input type="text" name="email" /><br />
Your Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

This will send all Form Elements to the check.php. If everything is all right, the script sends a message to "web@geneticsltd.co.uk" With the subject "Genetics Feedback" and the Message

"There has been a message/request from <yourhostname>
name: <insertedname>
email: <insertedemail>
message: <insertedmessage>"
