php contact form not responding on clicking submit button - javascript

I have a form in php with the below code:
<form action="" method="post" class="wpcf7-form">
<p><label> Your Name<br /> <span><input type="text" name="your-name" value="" size="40" required /></span> </label></p>
<p><label> Your Email<br /> <span><input type="email" name="your-email" value="" size="40" required /></span> </label></p>
<p><label> Your Message<br /> <span><textarea name="your-message" cols="40" rows="10" required></textarea></span> </label></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" /></p>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "contact#ghem.com"; // this is your Email address
$from = $_POST['your_email']; // this is the sender's Email address
$first_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['your_message'];
$subject = "Contact";
$subject2 = "";
$message = $first_name . " has sent you the following message. Message:" . "\n\n" . $last_name. "\n\n" ."Email: ".$from. "\n\n" ;
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$headers2 = "From:" . $to;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
// mail($last_name,$subject2,$message2,$headers2); // sends a copy of the message to the sender
echo '<div style="color:#5cad2f; "><b>Thank you ' . $first_name . ', we will contact you shortly.</b></div>';
// You can also use header('Location: thank_you.php'); to redirect to another page.
}
?>
when I enter details and click submit button, nothing is happening, can anyone please help me with this?

Try to know your value is set or not like:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
echo "hello world";
}
?>
when you click submit button if it display hello world that means submit work after that replace name as you show in your input field with $_POST['your_name']

You should use same input name while getting POST values
$from = $_POST['your-email'];
$first_name = $_POST['your-name'];
$last_name = $_POST['your-message'];

$error messate POST into div in index.php

This is my first question on this site however I have been here millions of times looking for answer and I hope you can help me out this time as I wasn't able to figure it out myself.
I am not very skilled when it comes to coding but was hoping to amend the php contact form I have found online (it's free), the form itself is worki9ng but what I am struggling with is to set the errors to be printed on the main page where the form is, at them moment the yare displayed on the contact.php form which is where the php code is and I would like it all displayed in a div for example on index.php just under the form.
my contact.php
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {}
$sendTo = "email address";
$subject = "msg content";
$headers = 'From: email address' . "\r\n";
$name = #$_POST['name'];
$email = #$_POST['email'];
$message = #$_POST['message'];
$okMessage = 'thank you';
$errorMessage = 'Please fill all the fields';
$url = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify';
$privatekey = "----------------------------------------";
$response = file_get_contents($url."?secret=".$privatekey."&response=".$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']."&remoteip=".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$data = json_decode($response);
$emailText = "Name: $name \n Email: $email \n Message: $message";
if (isset($data->success) AND $data->success==true) {
mail($sendTo, $subject, $emailText, $headers);
$responseArray = $okMessage;
}
else
{
//verification failed
$responseArray = $errorMessage;
}
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
$encoded = json_encode($responseArray);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $encoded;
}
else {
echo $responseArray;
}
?>
<form method="post" name="contactform" action="contact.php" >
<div class="field half first">
<label for="name">name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="name" />
</div>
<div class="field half">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="email#email.com" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="message">message</label>
<textarea name="message" id="msg" rows="4" placeholder="type your message here"></textarea>
</div>

<ul class="actions">
<li><input type="submit" value="send" class="special" /></li>
<li><input type="reset" value="reset pola" /></li>
</ul>
I have tried to use $_POST and $_GET to echo responseArray but I can't figure it out...
Is anyone able to provide a code I would have to use to display $okMessage and $errorMessage on index.php please?
Many thanks for all help

How to show success message below html form after form submit which is being handled by different php file

There is a form in my index.php file. This form is handling from a different php file named send-mail.php. I want to show a message inside alert div in index.php file. Can this be done by php or javascript will be needed too?
index.php:
<section id="contact">
<form action="send-mail.php" id="form" method="post" name="form">
<input id="name" name="name" placeholder="your name" type="text" required>
<input id="email" name="email" placeholder="your e-mail" type="email" required>
<textarea cols="50" id="message" name="message" placeholder="your enquiry" rows="4" required></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send Message">
</form>
<div class="alert alert-dismissible fade in hide" role=alert>
<button type=button class=close data-dismiss=alert aria-label=Close><span aria-hidden=true>×</span></button>
</div>
</section>
send-mail.php:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
// Get the submitted form data
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Recipient email
$toEmail = 'user#example.com';
$emailSubject = 'Contact Request Submitted by '.$name;
$htmlContent = '<h2>Contact Request Submitted</h2>
<h4>Name</h4><p>'.$name.'</p>
<h4>Email</h4><p>'.$email.'</p>
<h4>Message</h4><p>'.$message.'</p>';
// Set content-type header for sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: '.$name.'<'.$email.'>'. "\r\n";
// Send email
if(mail($toEmail,$emailSubject,$htmlContent,$headers)){
$statusMsg = 'Your contact request has been submitted successfully !';
$msgClass = 'alert-success';
header('location: index.php#contact');
}else{
$statusMsg = 'Your contact request submission failed, please try again.';
$msgClass = 'alert-danger';
header('location: index.php#contact');
}
}
?>
Change your redirects to:
header('location: index.php?result='.$msgClass.'#contact');
Then adding the following to your index.php file:
if ($_GET['result']=="alert-success") {
// display success message here
} elseif ($_GET['result']=="alert-danger") {
// display error message here
}

Show thank you message after form is submitted after PHP validation

I have looked at a few solutions on here trying different ways of doing this but none are working for me.
Here is my form:
<form action="<?PHP echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>" method="POST" name="contact" role="form">
<?PHP //if error has occured then echo the error in red
if(isset($errorMsg) && $errorMsg) {
echo "<p style=\"color: red;\">*",htmlspecialchars($errorMsg),"</p>\n\n";
}
?>
<label for="name"><b>Name:</b></label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Enter full name" value="<?PHP if(isset($_POST['name'])) echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); ?>">
<label for="email"><b>Email:</b></label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Enter a valid email address..." value="<?PHP if(isset($_POST['email'])) echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']); ?>">
<label><b>Subject:</b></label>
<input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" placeholder="Please enter a subject matter" value="<?PHP if(isset($_POST['subject'])) echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['subject']); ?>">
<label for="query"><b>Query:</b></label>
<textarea id="query" placeholder="Please write your message here..." name="query" value="<?PHP if(isset($_POST['query']))echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['query']);?>">
</textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" class="style-button">
</form>
I am using a one page website so the contact form is at the bottom of the page.
How can i show a thank you message inside the form when it has been submitted and went through validation - without the page going back to the top?
PHP code:
<?php
// if submit is clicked then assign variables
if($_POST && isset($_POST['submit'], $_POST['name'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['subject'], $_POST['query'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$query = $_POST['query'];
//making sure the page goes to the contact form with the errors instead of the top of the page
if(!isset($_POST['$errorMsg']))
{
?>
<script>
window.location.hash = '#contact-form';
</script>
<?php
}
// if name is not entered then display errorMsg
if (!$name) {
$errorMsg = "Please enter your name";
}
// if email is not entered then display errorMsg
elseif (!$email || !preg_match("/^\S+#\S+$/", $email)) {
$errorMsg = "Please enter a valid email address";
}
// If the subject has not entered then display errorMsg
elseif (!$subject) {
$errorMsg = "Please enter a subject";
}
// if query is not entered then display errorMsg
elseif (!$query) {
$errorMsg = "Please enter your query";
}
else {
//send email and redirect to confirmation page
$toemail = "email#example.com";
$subject2 = "Message recieved from ". $name."";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
."From: \"".$name."\" <".$email.">\n"
."Content-type: text/html; charset-iso-8859-1\n";
$body = "Email: ".$email."<br>\n"
."Subject: ".$subject."<br>\n"
."email: ".$email."<br>\n"
."query: ".$query."<br>\n"
;
mail($toemail, $subject, $body, $headers);
if(mail($toemail, $subject, $body, $headers)){
$toemail =".$email";
$subject = "Confirmation Email";
$body = "Your email has been sent";
header("location: index.php");
}
}}
?>
Somewhere, hopefully above the HTML, you are processing the form post. So you should be setting $errorMsg in there.
Rule of thumb for a self-submitting web page: logic before view. Also, to avoid the if() statement, initialize $errorMsg on every page load.

add email validation prior to submitting on php form

I have the following simple form that I am trying to get the email validation error to
show up within the form to show the error prior to submitting.
Is there a way to do this with PHP or do I have to use JSON?
If I have to use JSON, can anyone show me how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
form.html:
<form method="post" name="form" action="form.php">
<p>Robot: <input type="text" name="robot" ></p>
<p>Name: <input type="text" name="name" ></p>
<p>Email: <input type="email" name="email"></p>
<p>Phone: <input type="telephone" name="phone"></p>
<p>Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Send Form"></p>
</form>
<div id="error"></div>
form.php
<?php
// send to and from
$to = "email#example.com";
$headers = "From: email#example.com \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: email#example.com \r\n";
// form inputs
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$robot = $_POST['robot'];
// email message
$email_subject = "Web Contact Message";
$email_body =
"A message from your website contact form \n\n".
"Email: $email \n\n".
"Phone: $phone \n\n".
"From: $name \n\n".
"Message: \n".
"$message \n";
// honeypot
if($robot)
header( "Location: http://www.example.com/nothankyou.html" );
else{
//validate email
if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
echo '<div id="error">Please Enter a Valid Email</div>';
}
else
{
// send it
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
header( "Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html" );
}
}
?>
You could try using a javascript/jquery plugin to do your front end validation (ex. http://jqueryvalidation.org/, http://bootstrapvalidator.com/). If you still wanted to keep your existing code I'd suggest something like:
First, merge your form.html to form.php
Make sure your php mailing code stays at the top of the file because php headers cannot have any output done before calling them.
<?php
if (count($_POST)) {
// send to and from
$to = "email#example.com";
$headers = "From: email#example.com \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: email#example.com \r\n";
// form inputs
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$robot = $_POST['robot'];
// email message
$email_subject = "Web Contact Message";
$email_body = "A message from your website contact form \n\n" .
"Email: $email \n\n" .
"Phone: $phone \n\n" .
"From: $name \n\n" .
"Message: \n" .
"$message \n";
// honeypot
if ($robot)
header("Location: http://www.example.com/nothankyou.html");
else {
//validate email
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
header("Location: form.php?error=email_error");
} else {
// send it
mail($to, $email_subject, $email_body, $headers);
header("Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html");
}
}
}
?>
<form method="post" name="form" action="">
<p>Robot: <input type="text" name="robot" ></p>
<p>Name: <input type="text" name="name" ></p>
<p>Email: <input type="email" name="email"></p>
<p>Phone: <input type="telephone" name="phone"></p>
<p>Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Send Form"></p>
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_GET["error"]) && $_GET["error"] == "email_error") {
?>
<div id="error">Please Enter a Valid Email</div>
<?php
}

the <?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];?> on the second form calls the php at the bottom of the page this is the one that is working it is the upload_logo.php that is not currently working any help would be much appreciated
You're trying to submit 2 forms at once. That can't work, as your browser can only be directed to 1 page at a time, so your attempt to submit the upload form with JavaScript is cancelled by the contact form being submitted. I'd suggest that you move the file input into the same form as the contact fields, and handle them both in your "the user has submitted the form" section.
Something like this should do the trick:
<?php
if (!isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
?>
<div id="loginborder">
<div id="login">
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Can you create me a Contributors account">
<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" placeholder="Name">
<input type="text" name="company" id="company" placeholder="Company Name">
<input type="checkbox" id="tc" onclick="checkbox()">
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Register" disabled>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
else
// the user has submitted the form
{
// Check if the "subject" input field is filled out
if (!empty($_POST["subject"]))
{
sleep(5);
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$first = $_POST["first_name"];
$company = $_POST["company"];
$therest = "First name= $first" . "\r\n" . "Company= $company" . "\r\n";
echo "$therest <br>";
$first = wordwrap($first, 70);
mail("careersintheclassroom01#gmail.com",$subject,$name,$therest,"subject: $subject\n");
echo "Thank you for sending us feedback";
header( "refresh:5;url=index.php" );
}
if (isset($_FILES['userfile']['name'])) {
$uploaddir = "./images/";
if (!file_exists($uploaddir)) {
mkdir($uploaddir, true);
}
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);
echo "<br />";
echo " <b>Your media has been uploaded</b><br /><br /> ";
}
}
?>
</body>
try this after $uploadfile = ...
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);
when you submit 2nd form e-mail would be generated becausue it triggers if(isset($_POST["subject"])) condition and the code will follow the next commands.
But when you submit 1st form, it will call onsubmit="alert(); function and that function again submits the same form because of these.
function alert()
{
document.getElementById("upload").submit();
}
so you are just triggering a never ending loop.
My solution is
<script type="text/javascript">
function alert()
{
function checkbox(){
if (document.getElementById("tc").checked == true)
document.getElementById("submit").disabled = false;
else
document.getElementById("submit").disabled = true;
}
}
$('input[placeholder],input[placeholder],input[placeholder],input[placeholder],input[placeholder]').placeholder();
</script>
I'am not 100% sure about your requirement. hope you can get the point what i'am making. gl!
