Email Order Confirmation

HanneSThEGreaT · October 8, 2011

Hello again.

I have a site where people can order items, as per this thread :

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=345342.0

Now, I would like to be able to send an order confirmation to the person that has made the order, as well as to the site's ordering department. I have this code :

<?php
if(isset($_POST['Email'])) {
           
     $email_to = "orders@thenewme.co.za";
     $email_subject = "The New Me - Order Confirmation";

         function died($error) {
         // error code 
         echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
         echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
         echo $error."<br /><br />";
         echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
         die();
     }
      // validation expected data exists
     if(!isset($_POST['FName']) ||
         !isset($_POST['LName']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Email']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Phone']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Address']) ||
         !isset($_POST['City']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Pcode'])) {
     
     died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
            }
     $first_name = $_POST['FName']; // required
     $last_name = $_POST['LName']; // required
     $email_from = $_POST['Email']; // required
     $telephone = $_POST['Phone']; // not required
     $address = $_POST['Address']; // required
     $city = $_POST['City']; // required
     $postal_code = $_POST['Pcode']; // required
                   
           $error_message = "";
           
     $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
     
   if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
     $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   }     $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
   if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
     $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   }   if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
     $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   } 
   if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
     died($error_message);
   }
     $email_message = "The New Me - Single Order details below.\n\n";
     
           function clean_string($string) {
       $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
       return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
     }
     $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Address: ".clean_string($address)."\n";
     $email_message .= "City: ".clean_string($city)."\n";

OK, I have now tried something else :

I have tried this a million times and no message come through. As soon as I can get an email confirmation, I can try to implement a summary of all products in there as well.

Can anyone help?

titan21 · October 10, 2011

In your second post - I couldn't see where $message was being set. I this perhaps the issue? Can you check your logs?

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

Hello! Thank you for your quick reply.

OK, I did fix all the syntax errors, it looks like this now :

<?php

$to = "orders@thenewme.co.za";
$subject = "The New Me - Order Confirmation";
$headers = "From: $email\n"; 

     $first_name = $_POST['FName']; // required
     $last_name = $_POST['LName']; // required
     $telephone = $_POST['Phone']; // not required
     $address = $_POST['Address']; // required
     $city = $_POST['City']; // required
     $postal_code = $_POST['Pcode']; // required
     $email = $_POST["Email"]; 

     $email_message = "The New Me - Order Confirmation below.\n

     $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Address: ".clean_string($address)."\n";
     $email_message .= "City: ".clean_string($city)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Postal Code: ".clean_string($postal_code)."\n";


$user = $email;
$usersubject = "The New Me - Thank You";
$userheaders = "From: orders@thenewme.co.za\n"; 

$usermessage = "Thank you for your order at The New Me.";

mail($to,$subject,$email_message,$headers); 

mail($user,$usersubject,$usermessage,$userheaders); 

?>

Still I get nothing.

How do I get the log that you've mentioned?

titan21 · October 10, 2011

Um - okay - first of all let's check that your host is allowing the mail functionality(I think this can be switched off) - create a new file and run a very simple mail command:

mail("orders@thenewme.co.za", "This is a test", "It's working")

See if that works. Also - it might be worth outputting your variables to make sure they are set correctly.

With regards to your log - if you're not running your own host - i'm not really sure where you can get access to this.

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

OK, I did get the test message, so that side seems to be in order.

I am now attempting :

<?php

$to = "hannes@ncc-cla.com" ; 
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ; 
$name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ; 
$headers = "From: $from"; 
$subject = "Web Contact Data"; 

$fields = array(); 
$fields{"FName"} = "Name"; 
$fields{"City"} = "City"; 
$fields{"Email"} = "Email"; 
$fields{"Phone"} = "Phone"; 

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; 
foreach($fields as $a => $b){
  	$body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]);
  	 } 

$headers2 = "From: " . $from; 
$subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us"; 
$autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible, usualy within 48 hours. If you have any more questions, please consult our website at www.oursite.com";

if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";} 
else { 
if($name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";} 
else { 
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); 
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2); 
}
}
?>

But it tells me I haven't entered an email eventhough I have... I do not know what to do anymore

titan21 · October 10, 2011

Okay - try:

print_r($_REQUEST)

to make sure your variables are set. Also - are these variables being passed by GET or PAT methods - try using $_GET or $_POST if they are. I'm not sure what the value of $_REQUEST is to be honest.

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

Hello again, thank for your guidance.

All that shows was :

Array( )

titan21 · October 10, 2011

So looks like they are not being passed along - what HTML are u using to send the form variables?

Try changing your $_REQUEST to $_GET and then do a print_r($_GET) to see what u get.

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

Still the same results.

I do not understand why the info doesn't get passed through

titan21 · October 10, 2011

Sorry just spotted this in your form:

Method = "Post"

Try

print_r($_POST)

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

Same results

titan21 · October 10, 2011

Just wanna check that your putting

print_r($_POST)

at the top of orderform.php and not in the code below the form?

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

Thanks so much for your patience.

Yes, I have put it on top of orderform.php and it still didn't give me anything.

I managed to do this :

function send_email($from, $to, $subject, $message){
$headers = "From: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n"; 

if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers) ) {
   echo "email sent";
} else {
   echo "email couldn't be sent";
}
}

$subject = "The New Me - Order";
$message .= "<html><body>";
$message .= "<b>Hey! How are you today?</b>";
$message .= "<br>Regards";
$message .= "</body></html>";
send_email("hannes@ncc-cla.com", "hannes@ncc-cla.com", 
$subject , 
$message);

BUT, if I cannot get the Posted data pulled, this will not work because I cannot get the sender's email address. I'll try again.

Buddski · October 10, 2011

Your original code, and the ones preceding it did not close the initial $message/$email_message strings.

$email_message = "The New Me - Order Confirmation below.\n
$email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";

As you can see it isnt closing.. Should have been

$email_message = "The New Me - Order Confirmation below.\n";
$email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

Hello again.

I went back to my old code, and made 100% sure each line gets closed properly. I did this :

if(isset($_POST['Email'])) {
           
     $email_to = "hannes@ncc-cla.com";
     $email_subject = "The New Me - Order Confirmation";

         function died($error) {
         // error code 
         echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
         echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
         echo $error."<br /><br />";
         echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
         die();
     }
      // validation expected data exists
     if(!isset($_POST['FName']) ||
         !isset($_POST['LName']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Email']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Phone']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Address']) ||
         !isset($_POST['City']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Pcode'])) {
     
     died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
            }
     $first_name = $_POST['FName']; // required
     $last_name = $_POST['LName']; // required
     $email_from = $_POST['Email']; // required
     $telephone = $_POST['Phone']; // not required
     $address = $_POST['Address']; // required
     $city = $_POST['City']; // required
     $postal_code = $_POST['Pcode']; // required
                   
           $error_message = "";
           
     $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
     
   if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
     $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   }     $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
   if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
     $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   }   if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
     $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   } 
   if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
     died($error_message);
   }
     $email_message = "The New Me - Order details.\n\n";
     
           function clean_string($string) {
       $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
       return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
     }
     $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Address: ".clean_string($address)."\n";
     $email_message .= "City: ".clean_string($city)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Postal Code: ".clean_string($postal_code)."\n";
         
     // create email headers
      $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n";
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
  @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

   

echo  "Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon.";

}

Now I get just an empty page

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

OK, I included an else condition ( because I test for isset initially )

When I do this :

if(isset($_POST['Email'])) {
           
     $email_to = "hannes@ncc-cla.com";
     $email_subject = "The New Me - Order Confirmation";

         function died($error) {
         // error code 
         echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
         echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
         echo $error."<br /><br />";
         echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
         die();
     }
      // validation expected data exists
     if(!isset($_POST['FName']) ||
         !isset($_POST['LName']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Email']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Phone']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Address']) ||
         !isset($_POST['City']) ||
         !isset($_POST['Pcode'])) {
     
     died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
            }
     $first_name = $_POST['FName']; // required
     $last_name = $_POST['LName']; // required
     $email_from = $_POST['Email']; // required
     $telephone = $_POST['Phone']; // not required
     $address = $_POST['Address']; // required
     $city = $_POST['City']; // required
     $postal_code = $_POST['Pcode']; // required
                   
           $error_message = "";
           
     $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
     
   if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
     $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   }     $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
   if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
     $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   }   if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
     $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
   } 
   if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
     died($error_message);
   }
     $email_message = "The New Me - Order details.\n\n";
     
           function clean_string($string) {
       $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
       return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
     }
     $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Address: ".clean_string($address)."\n";
     $email_message .= "City: ".clean_string($city)."\n";
     $email_message .= "Postal Code: ".clean_string($postal_code)."\n";
         
     // create email headers
      $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n";
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
  @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

   

echo  "Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon.";

}
else
{
echo "not pulled";
}

It shows the not pulled message.

So, the problem seems to be that the info doesn't get Posted properly from the order.php form

Buddski · October 10, 2011

Do you have your error_reporting enabled?

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);

And ensure that $_POST is actually sent.

Post your form.

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

Yes, I have - probably put the error reporting at the wrong place.

My form looks like this :

I am attaching both order.php and orderform.php here

Remove the enctype attribute.

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

WOW!!!!!!!! That did it!! I repeat you guys are geniuses!! I knew it had to be something small!!!

Thanks!!

Last question ( for now obviously )

How can I get the products that were ordered also included in that email? Should I make use of a session?

Buddski · October 10, 2011

You can post the generated string to the second page in a hidden field or just send through all the ordered products again and iterate through like you have on the form page.. Sending a pre-formatted string will be probably quicker for you.

HanneSThEGreaT · October 10, 2011

Thanx. I did try this on order.php :

if (isset($_POST['ordered'])) {
// We can assign $_POST['product'] to a variable to make it easier to type out
$prod = $_POST['product'];
// Throw a little intro to see how many they checked
echo 'You selected ' , count($_POST['ordered']) , ' products.';
// Now we loop through it and get the IDS that were selected
// Foreach lets you select the $key and the $value for each iteration of the loop //
foreach ($_POST['ordered'] as $key=>$id) {
	echo '<p/>
	ProdName: ' , $prod[$id]['name'] , '<br/>
	ProdPrice: ' , $prod[$id]['price'] , '<br/>
	ProdQty: ' , $prod[$id]['qty'] , '
	<hr/>';

	echo	<input type="hidden" value = $prod[$id]['name']>;
	echo	<input type="hidden" value = $prod[$id]['price']>;
	echo	<input type="hidden" value = $prod[$id]['qty']>;

	$TOT += $prod[$id]['price'] * $prod[$id]['qty'];


}

	$TOT2 = $TOT + 55;

	echo	<input type="hidden" value = $TOT>;
	echo	<input type="hidden" value = $TOT2>;
}

It didn't bring them through. Am I formulating the hidden fields wrong?
