All day i've been working on getting this fucking contact form to send me an email when someone fills it out. all day i've failed. The form references an email.php file that's on my webserver. I don't know what information you'd need to help me, so ask and i'll give you what I got. i'm definitely drinking tonight.
oh by the way, I do web development with PHP, so I could probably help. post what you've got and ill take a look at it
wow. now I really think I fucked something up. I can't even access mail.32countiesphoto.com anymore... goddam it. anyway, here's what I got. In my contact form, I have this: <!-- CONTACT FORM SETTINGS --> &contactform=6& &formtext=Please fill out the form below. &formthanks=Thank you for filling out the form. We will be in contact with you shortly. &recipient="[email protected]"& &subject=Contact Form& &scriptlocation=email.php& then, in my email.php form, I have this: <?php //echo "<html><body>"; $recipient=$_POST["recipient"]; $subject=$_POST["subject"]; $whofrom="[email protected]"; while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_POST)){ $message=$message."".$key.": ".$val."\r\n"; } mail ($recipient, $subject, $message,"From: ".$whofrom."\r\nReply-To: ".$whofrom."\r\n"); //echo "Sending mail..."; //echo "</body></html>"; ?> Then, outta nowhere, if I use my webservers 'webmail' function, under the administrator account (not my account), I get this: A message that you sent contained one or more recipient addresses that were incorrectly constructed: \"[email protected]\": malformed address: \" may not follow \"[email protected] This address has been ignored. There were no other addresses in your message, and so no attempt at delivery was possible. ------ This is a copy of your message, including all the headers. ------ To: \"[email protected]\" Subject: Contact Form X-PHP-Script: www.32countiesphoto.com/email.php for 76.99.132.110 From: [email protected] Reply-To: [email protected] Message-Id: <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:00:41 -0500 script: email.php recipient: \"[email protected]\" subject: Contact Form Name: fuck Email: [email protected] Comments: this sucks
where you have: Code: $recipient=$_POST["recipient"]; try changing it to: Code: $recipient=stripslashes($_POST["recipient"]);
changed that, got this: This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: "[email protected]"@server8.namecheaphosting.com Unrouteable address ------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------ Return-path: <[email protected]> Received: from spauo by server8.namecheaphosting.com with local (Exim 4.69 (FreeBSD)) (envelope-from <[email protected]>) id 1LABgf-000A2G-J2 for "[email protected]"@server8.namecheaphosting.com; Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:08:17 -0500 To: "[email protected]"@server8.namecheaphosting.com Subject: Contact Form X-PHP-Script: www.32countiesphoto.com/email.php for 76.99.132.110 From: [email protected] Reply-To: [email protected] Message-Id: <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:08:17 -0500 Really stupid question... could the quotes around my email here be fucking this up? &recipient="[email protected]"&
Yeah, something is messing up with the recipient. For some reason it's appending "@server8.namecheaphosti ng.com" to the end of the recipient. I'll need to look at it a little closer, but I'm in a class right now. We'll figure it out.
cool, take your time. I'm in no rush. I fixed what I fucked so I can get back to my email, so i'm happy enough with that for now.
couple o updates: I can't seem to get rid of this: "[email protected]"@server8.namecheaphosting.com" error However, if I set the recipient to just 'webmaster' instead of '[email protected]', the email correctly goes to the [email protected] mailbox, but it is entered as [email protected] I am now trying to just have '[email protected]' forwarded to [email protected], but they're telling me I can't set up forwarding for a 'server8.namecheaphosting.com' address So I'm fucking stuck again. ideas?
in case anyone cares, here are a few of the email errors I got trying different things: (spauo = webmaster) then when it worked: and if I try changing it from spauo to jared:
have you tried taking the quotes out of your email address? those seem to be what is causing the error
I thought so too, but with the quotes in the spauo (webmaster) address functions correctly. Here's the clusterfuck I have going on right now - [email protected] is set to forward to [email protected] by way of forwarding the subject line 'contact form' [email protected] then forwards all mail to [email protected] by way of a 'forward all mail' filter... It's fucking gay, but it's working...
