I have a php script on my website to handle a form on a webpage, but I'm a bit clueless when it comes to php scripting. I have entered my email address in the php script (this address is what the form will be sent to). When I trial the form and submit, it says successfully sent but I don't recieve any emails. I understand that the web space host needs to be able to accept php to do this, which it is. I'm not sure how a host is able to handle a request to send an email though.
My script is as follows:
<?php
$my_email = "MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS PLACED HERE";
$continue = "MY WEB ADDRESS HERE";
$errors = array();
// Remove $_COOKIE elements from $_REQUEST.
if(count($_COOKIE)){foreach(array_keys($_COOKIE) as $value){unset($_REQUEST[$value]);}}
// Check all fields for an email header.
function recursive_array_check_header($element_value)
{
global $set;
if(!is_array($element_value)){if(preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\n+|\r+)(content-type:|to:|cc:|bcc:)/i",$element_value)){$set = 1;}}
else
{
foreach($element_value as $value){if($set){break;} recursive_array_check_header($value);}
}
}
recursive_array_check_header($_REQUEST);
if($set){$errors[] = "You cannot send an email header";}
unset($set);
// Validate email field.
if(isset($_REQUEST['email']) && !empty($_REQUEST['email']))
{
if(preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\n+|\r+|:)/i",$_REQUEST['email'])){$errors[] = "Email address may not contain a new line or a colon";}
$_REQUEST['email'] = trim($_REQUEST['email']);
if(substr_count($_REQUEST['email'],"@") != 1 || stristr($_REQUEST['email']," ")){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{$exploded_email = explode("@",$_REQUEST['email']);if(empty($exploded_email[0]) || strlen($exploded_email[0]) > 64 || empty($exploded_email[1])){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{if(substr_count($exploded_email[1],".") == 0){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{$exploded_domain = explode(".",$exploded_email[1]);if(in_array("",$exploded_domain)){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{foreach($exploded_domain as $value){if(strlen($value) > 63 || !preg_match('/^[a-z0-9-]+$/i',$value)){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid"; break;}}}}}}
}
// Check referrer is from same site.
if(!(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))){$errors[] = "You must enable referrer logging to use the form";}
// Check for a blank form.
function recursive_array_check_blank($element_value)
{
global $set;
if(!is_array($element_value)){if(!empty($element_v alue)){$set = 1;}}
else
{
foreach($element_value as $value){if($set){break;} recursive_array_check_blank($value);}
}
}
recursive_array_check_blank($_REQUEST);
if(!$set){$errors[] = "You cannot send a blank form";}
unset($set);
// Display any errors and exit if errors exist.
if(count($errors)){foreach($errors as $value){print "$value<br>";} exit;}
if(!defined("PHP_EOL")){define("PHP_EOL", strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3) == "WIN") ? "\r\n" : "\n");}
// Build message.
function build_message($request_input){if(!isset($message_o utput)){$message_output ="";}if(!is_array($request_input)){$message_out put = $request_input;}else{foreach($request_input as $key => $value){if(!empty($value)){if(!is_numeric($key)){$ message_output .= str_replace("_"," ",ucfirst($key)).": ".build_message($value).PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL;}else{$mes sage_output .= build_message($value).", ";}}}}return rtrim($message_output,", ");}
$message = build_message($_REQUEST);
$message = $message . PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL."-- ".PHP_EOL."";
$message = stripslashes($message);
$subject = "FormToEmail Comments";
$headers = "From: " . $_REQUEST['email'];
mail($my_email,$subject,$message,$headers);
