Need a simple contact form script

Need a simple contact form script, the one I have seems to have a bug.

What language?

I can sort one in PHP later on but not at the moment.

In essence though it's really simple, just use of the PHP mail() function (type that into google for more info) and sending the info from a form with $_POST etc. However, try and remember to check data being inputted first etc! Perhaps you'll be able to sort this yourself if you have any knowledge of PHP?

I could do my own I just have zero time, so looking for quick fix for now.
Its for the site villawithapool.co.uk , so i can remove the email link.

A VERY simple contact form:

PHP:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['message'])) {
mail(website.owner@domain.com,"Feedback from website",$_POST['message']);
echo "Message sent.";
}
?>
 

Code (text):

<form name="contactFrm" action="this_page.php" method="POST">
<textarea name="message">Typr your message here.</textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
 

Again, I must stress this is very simple. You should record the users IP Address etc and also put something like a captcha image in to prevent spamming and automatic submission.

Thanks Mike.:

No problemo! Even without a captcha code, if the form begins to get automatic spam and submissions, then it's a simple case of banning the IP Address. Plus the form is only sending e-mail to the website owners address, so it cannot be abused too much!

A nice touch could be asking for the visitors name to send along with the message (another input box). Also note that you should ask for their e-mail address so that you can reply! The above example will not send the e-mail from their address either - so as a quick remedy just ask them to include their e-mail address in the message, when replying you will have to copy and paste this because the reply address will be back to the server the original e-mail was sent from

Heres another, slightly better, contact form that somebody added as a comment at PHP.net.

PHP:

<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
  {
  //send email
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
  mail( "someone@example.com", "Subject: $subject",
  $message, "From: $email" );
  echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
  }
else
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
  {
  echo "<form method='post' action='mailform.php'>
  Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br />
  Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br />
  Message:<br />
  <textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'>
  </textarea><br />
  <input type='submit' />
  </form>";
  }
?>
 

This will also just show "message sent" with no contact form once it has been submitted. Again, a fairly simple example but I think it will be fine

wow your good, i might have to steal that code incase i need it someday XD

Nice....Just what i need. Thanks for sharing.

Heh, if you develop websites and are ready to take it to the next step - I highly recommend learning a server-side programming language to create more dynamic websites. You can do wonders with the likes of PHP and in particular PHP is very popular - once you've got your heard around the way the language works it's very easy to learn new things.

I use coffeecups form builder. Highly customizable and simple to use.

Can I use this code on blogger?

Nope, I don't think. Blogger looks after all of your code, don't they? I.e., they host the blog unless you use the FTP option.

You *could* use it if you hosted the contact PHP script elsewhere and had the form on your blog submitting to it (have the action defined to the URL of the php processing script, which would be elsewhere!)

Ok,try this http://www.triphp.com/contactbuilder.php
