[TUT] E-mail through PHP

[Consumed]

Well, this is made up of 2 codes. Here they are.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<div>
<form name="contact" method="post" action="contactprocess.php">
<strong>Name:</strong><br/>
<input type="text" name="ename" size="30"><br/>
<strong>Email:</strong><br/>

<input type="text" name="eemail" size="30"><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong><br/>
<input type="text" name="esubject" size="30"><br/>
<strong>Message:</strong><br/>

<textarea name="emessage" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea><br/>
<input type="submit" name="esubmit" value="Send Mail" style="cursorointer">
<input type="hidden" name="eip" value="<?php echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; ?>">
</form>
</div>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save that as, contact.php
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php

//Some variables
$mymail = "myemail@address.com";
$ename = $_POST['ename'];
$eemail = $_POST['eemail'];
$esubject = $_POST['esubject'];
$emessage = $_POST['emessage'];
$eip = $_POST['eip'];

//Function to check email address
function checkemail($eemail) {
if(eregi("^[0-9a-z]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]{2,4}$",$eemail)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}

//Mail Processing
if ($_POST['esubmit']) {
//Check for blank fields
if ($ename == "" || $eemail == "" || $esubject == "" || $emessage == "") {
echo "<p>It appears that you left a blank field.<br/> Please make sure you fill everything in.</p>";
}
//Check to see if the email address is valid
else if (checkemail($eemail) == false) {
echo "<p>It appears that you enter an invalid email address.<br/> Please check your email again.</p>";
}
//Send the email if there's no error
else {
$body = "$emessage\n\nName: $ename\nEmail: $eemail\nIp: $eip";
mail($mymail,$esubject,$body,"From: $eemail\n");
echo "<p>Thank you for your email $ename!</p>";
}
}

?>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Put this in your Database
-Then upload the files and put the first code where you want it to be.
--I will be adding a demo soon

too bad that only works if the host supports SMTP

[jabapyth]

is there a way to use remote SMTP?

<form name="contact" method="post" action="contactprocess.php">

Amm shouldn't that be

<form name="contact" method="post" action="contact.php">

There is no file such as contactprcoess.php that you have asked to create

Nice tutorial, I need this for my new site and Im a bit rusty on PHP so this will definitly help me

[Ottica]

Nice, that looks pretty simple. Looking over the code is definately a good way for people learning PHP (like me...) to improve/learn new skills.
