Here's the code for the system I use:

contact.php =

PHP Code:


<?php

session_start();

$cansend=$HTTP_POST_VARS['cansend'];

if($cansend==1) {

$mailTo = "Your E-Mail Address";                # Put your E-mail Address here

$name=$HTTP_POST_VARS["name"];

$from=$HTTP_POST_VARS["email"];

$message=$HTTP_POST_VARS["message"];

$subject=$HTTP_POST_VARS["subject"];

$mailSubject="Website: $subject (From: $name)";  # Use this to customise the subject of the E-Mail.



$mailbody=$mailbody."\n".$message;

$headers = "From: $from";



if(mail($mailTo,$mailSubject,$mailbody,$headers))

{

$status="<div style='color:green;font-weight:bold;'>Your message has been sent successfully!<BR>I will get back to you as soon as possible.</div><BR><A href=index.php>Back to the homepage</A></center>";

}

else

{

$status="<center><div style='color:red;font-weight:bold;'>There was an error in sending your message!</div><BR><A href=index.php>Back to the homepage</A></center>";

}

}

?>

email-check.js =

Code:

function validate()
{
	document.contact.cansend.value=1;
	return true;
}
function isEmail(emailstr)
{
	dotchar = emailstr.indexOf(".");
	atchar = emailstr.indexOf("@");
	dotlast = emailstr.lastIndexOf(".");
	spacechar = emailstr.indexOf(" ");
	len = emailstr.length;
	if( (dotchar == -1) || (atchar == -1) || (spacechar != -1) || (dotlast < atchar) || (dotlast == len - 1) )
	{
		return false;
	}
	else
	{
		return true;
	}
}
function trim(str)
{
ch = '';
for(i=0;i<str.length;i++)
{
	cha = str.charAt(i);
	if(cha != ' ')
	{
		ch = ch + cha;
	}
}
return ch;
}

Copy and Paste the code to the file names specified, then edit it to change your email address URL to you homepage etc. Then upload to your server. To test it go to contact.php in your browser fill in the form and click 'send'.

NOTE: If you haven't already you will need to upgrade to intermediate PHP for the mail() function to work.

This is a basic version of the system i use:

'form.php'

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<style>
textarea.message{
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="formpost.php" method="post" id="form">
<textarea id="message" value="" class="message"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send Message" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

'formpost.php'

PHP Code:


<?php

$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

?>

<html>

<body>

/*html code*/

<?php

if(mail(email@host.com,"subject",$message)

{

echo "/*html code for success*/";

}

else

{

echo "/*html code for failure*/";

}

?>

</body>

</html>

its short and it works.

hope it helps!

You must upgrade you PHP to Intermediate to be able to use mail(). You can request an upgrade from the account panel (http://www.x10hosting.com/login).

You guys may want to be more secure with what you are being sent. If you don't want to be send images or links or HTML in general I'd use

PHP Code:


strip_tag($message);
