Form Sending .php

[ghi572000]

Hi I have a html form page linked to a .php page for sending me and the user the data entered in to the from:

Part of the code for example purposes:

 

HTML SIDE

<form method="post" action="thankyou.php">

 

<?php

$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");

$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");

?>

 

<input name="visitormail" type="text" size="25" />

 

<input name="button" type="submit" id="button" value="Send" />

</form>

 

PHP SIDE SENDING

<?php

$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail'];

 

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";

$from = "Cc: $visitormail\r\n";

 

mail("forum@domain.co.uk", $subject, $message, $from);

 

?>

 

What is happening is the incoming mail is coming in to me and to the user from "forum@domain.co.uk" but from my ISP domain?

 

After lots of searching I have come up with the answer that I should be using "PHP mail() and SMTP Authentication" ?

 

Is this the case and if so how do I set up SMTP Authentication as I am new to php!!!!!

 

Thanks

Gary

Look into the class PHPMailer, it will handle all of that for you.

 

Also note that you set $from and then immediately overwrite it with the CC.  You want the dot-equals operator (.=) for concatenating strings.

Hey Dan, thanks it's amazing how a dot-equals operator can make all the difference!

 

Working now fine

Thanks
