recommendation for a good mail form?

[laredotornado@zipmail.com]

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a simple PHP script for taking the contents of
a form and emailing it to an address defined within the PHP script? I
have downloaded a couple via Google, but they're not quite what I'm
looking for.

Thanks for your advice, - Dave

Hi Dave,

Just use the buildin function mail() in PHP.
And use $_POST["somevar"] to read the postingsvars.

CHeck www.php.net for details on mail().

IMHO, the following works well as an "include file" for various Contact
Us forms on my client's web sites.

function valid_email($em ail)
{
if(empty($email )){

return false;


}elseif(eregi(" ^[0-9a-z]([-_.+]?[0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]{2,7}$",
$email)){

return true;

}

return false;
};

$opts['admin_email'] = 'admin@domain.c om';

$opts['admin_name'] = 'Some One';

$opts['owner_email'] = 'owner@domain.c om';

$msg = '';

// Disallow certain HTML INPUT names from appearin in email messages

$omit_field_nam e_array = array('s', 'submit');

if(!isset($subj )){

$subj = str_replace('ww w.', '', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']).' web site
feedback';

}

while(list($key , $val) = each($_POST)){

if($val != '' && !in_array($key, $omit_field_nam e_array)){

$new_key = str_replace('_' , ' ', $key);

$msg .= ucwords($new_ke y).':
'.stripslashes( trim(strip_tags ($val)))."\n\n" ;

}

$$key = stripslashes(tr im(strip_tags($ val)));

# Debug
# echo "\n".$key.' = '.$val.'<br>';
# exit;

}

$lf = isset($_SERVER["COMSPEC"])
&& stristr($_SERVE R["COMSPEC"], 'windows')
? "\r\n" : "\n";

if($msg != ''){

$msg .= 'Submitted: '.date('r')."\n ";

if(valid_email( $email)){

$hdr = 'From: <'.$email.'>'." $lf"
.'Reply-To: '.$email."$lf"
.'Return-Path: '.$email."$lf"
.'X-Mailer: PHP '.phpversion(). "$lf"
.'X-Priority: 3'."$lf"
.'X-Sender: '.$email;
}else{

$hdr = 'From: "'.$opts['admin_name'].'"
<'.$opts['admin_email'].'>'."$lf"
.'Reply-To: '.$opts['admin_email']."$lf"
.'Return-Path: '.$opts['admin_email']."$lf"
.'X-Mailer: PHP '.phpversion(). "$lf"
.'X-Priority: 3'."$lf"
.'X-Sender: '.$opts['admin_email'];

}

$msg .= "{$lf}--{$lf}{$opts['admin_name']}{$lf}Site
Administrator{$ lf}{$opts['admin_email']}";

$opts['owner_email'] != $opts['admin_email'] ? $hdr .= "{$lf}BCC:
{$opts['admin_email']}" : '';

$sent = @mail($opts['owner_email'], $subj, $msg, $hdr);

if(!($res = @mysql_query(sp rintf("INSERT INTO feedback (name, email,
subj, comments)
VALUES ('%s', '%s', '%s', '%s')",
addslashes($nam e),
$email, addslashes($sub j),
addslashes($msg ))))){

$opts['admin_msg'] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].' did not insert
feedback on '.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

}

}
