Contact form on website - outcome help.

vanmat · August 9, 2010

Hi, I'd like to ask for help with modifying this contact form script I downloaded.

Here is the code from index page:

<form action="mailer.php" method="post" name="form1" id="form1" style="margin:0px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11px; width:300px;" onsubmit="MM_validateForm('from','','RisEmail','subject','','R','verif_box','','R','message','','R');return document.MM_returnValue">

Your e-mail:<br />
<input name="from" type="text" id="from" style="padding:2px; border:1px solid #CCCCCC; width:180px; height:14px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11px;" value="<?php echo $_GET['from'];?>"/>
<br />
<br />

Subject:<br />
<input name="subject" type="text" id="subject" style="padding:2px; border:1px solid #CCCCCC; width:180px; height:14px;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px;" value="<?php echo $_GET['subject'];?>"/>
<br />
<br />

Type verification image:<br />
<input name="verif_box" type="text" id="verif_box" style="padding:2px; border:1px solid #CCCCCC; width:180px; height:14px;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px;"/>
<img src="verificationimage.php?<?php echo rand(0,9999);?>" alt="verification image, type it in the box" width="50" height="24" align="absbottom" /><br />
<br />

<!-- if the variable "wrong_code" is sent from previous page then display the error field -->
<?php if(isset($_GET['wrong_code'])){?>
<div style="border:1px solid #990000; background-color:#D70000; color:#FFFFFF; padding:4px; padding-left:6px;width:295px;">Wrong verification code</div><br /> 
<?php ;}?>

Message:<br />
<textarea name="message" cols="6" rows="5" id="message" style="padding:2px; border:1px solid #CCCCCC; width:300px; height:100px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px;"><?php echo $_GET['message'];?></textarea>
<noscript><a href="http://www.thewebhelp.com" style="display:none;">contact form by thewebhelp</a></noscript>
<input name="Submit" type="submit" style="margin-top:10px; display:block; border:1px solid #000000; width:100px; height:20px;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px; padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:2px; line-height:14px; background-color:#EFEFEF;" value="Send Message"/>
</form>

Here is the code for mailer.php:

<?php
// ----------------------------------------- 
//  The Web Help .com
// ----------------------------------------- 
// remember to replace you@email.com with your own email address lower in this code.

// load the variables form address bar
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$from = $_POST["from"];
$verif_box = $_POST["verif_box"];

// remove the backslashes that normally appears when entering " or '
$message = stripslashes($message); 
$subject = stripslashes($subject); 
$from = stripslashes($from); 

// check to see if verificaton code was correct
if(md5($verif_box).'a4xn' == $_COOKIE['tntcon']){
// if verification code was correct send the message and show this page
mail("you@email.com", 'Online Form: '.$subject, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\n\n".$message, "From: $from");
// delete the cookie so it cannot sent again by refreshing this page
setcookie('tntcon','');
} else if(isset($message) and $message!=""){
// if verification code was incorrect then return to contact page and show error
header("Location: index.php?subject=$subject&from=$from&message=$message&wrong_code=true");
exit;
} else {
echo "no variables received, this page cannot be accessed directly";
exit;
}
?>

</style></head>

<body>

<br />
Return to <a href="/">home page</a> ? 
</body>
</html>

And the code from verificationimage.php:

<?php
// ----------------------------------------- 
//  The Web Help .com
// ----------------------------------------- 

header('Content-type: image/jpeg');

$width = 50;
$height = 24;

$my_image = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);

imagefill($my_image, 0, 0, 0xFFFFFF);

// add noise
for ($c = 0; $c < 40; $c++){
$x = rand(0,$width-1);
$y = rand(0,$height-1);
imagesetpixel($my_image, $x, $y, 0x000000);
}

$x = rand(1,10);
$y = rand(1,10);

$rand_string = rand(1000,9999);
imagestring($my_image, 5, $x, $y, $rand_string, 0x000000);

setcookie('tntcon',(md5($rand_string).'a4xn'));

imagejpeg($my_image);
imagedestroy($my_image);
?>

Now my questions:

I tried adding a "Insert name" section and was successful, but the section is not sent to me in the e-mails I receive from the script.

Another problem is the "sender" e-mail I get in the emails generated form this code. It applies my hosting provider's login name to the admin panel (login@domain.com), while I would like it to show the email that someone typed in in the form.

Also the email contains of only an IP adress of the sender (I think so) and the messege typed in, while it would be perfect if it had shown all the info typed in on the website.

Yet another one is that the error messege on the index page shows itself from the time the page is loaded and it doesn't disappear even when the code is correct.

I would like to thank anyone, who would spend a minute analysing my problem, in advance!

Regards,

vanmat
