PHP Script for Contact Form not working in CMSMS

Had a site hosted by GoDaddy and this script worked along with the html version of the site. Since I've transferred it over to CMSMS (1.10.3) it no longer works. Am I missing something in my code? Server is running PHP5.3 - Thanks for the help and I apologize for my lack of knowledge.

html site:

Code: Select all

<section id="content">
            <article>
            	<h2>Contact <span>Form</span></h2>
              <form id="contacts-form" action="contact.php" method="post">
                <fieldset>
                  <div class="field">
                    <label>Name:</label>
                    <input type="text" value="" name="Name" />
                  </div>
                  <div class="field">
                    <label>E-mail:</label>
                    <input type="text" value="" name="E-mail" />
                  </div>
                  <div class="field">
                    <label>Phone:</label>
                    <input type="text" value="" name="Phone" />
                  </div>
                  <div class="field">
                    <label>Company:</label>
                    <input type="text" value="" name="Company" />
                  </div>
                  <div class="field">
                    <label>Message:</label>
                    <textarea></textarea>
                  </div>
                  <div><a href="thankyou.html" onclick="document.getElementById('contacts-form').submit()">Send Your Message!</a></div>
                </fieldset>
              </form>
            </article> 
          </section>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
PHP Script:

Code: Select all

<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$your_message = $_POST['message'];

I don't know why is this script not working. I just wonder why you don't use the Form Builder module for creating forms? It's a core module (which means a great support and certain maintenance) that is widely used on CMS MS sites. And it's way, way, way simpler than this.

I'd agree but it's what the boss wants so the boss gets it. Thanks for looking at it though!

What happens when you submit the form?

Does the boss wants you to use this "script" or does the boss wants a contact form on the site that works properly.
If it's the first, I think he is not that good a boss :P

It takes me to the ThankYou.html page but I never receive it in my inbox.

The boss wants me to use his script. Mainly because for this site he is using CMSMS but his other sites aren't. So he wants the same working script on everything.

Code: Select all

$mail_to = 'info@mycompany.com';
$subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;

mail($recipient,$subject,$content,$headers);
$field_name is not set anywhere
$recipient is not set anywhere

How does this look and do I need to define name, email, etc (put it in the code for now but I can remove it).

Code: Select all

<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$your_message = $_POST['message'];

$headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1′;

$content = “<__html><head><title>Contact letter</title></head></__body><br>”;
$content .= “Name: <b>” . $name . “</b><br>”;
$content .= “Email: <b>” . $email . “</b><br>”;
$content .= “Phone: <b>” . $phone . “</b><br>”;
$content .= “Company: <b>” . $company . “</b><br><hr><br>”;
$content .= $your_message;
$content .= “<br><__body></__html>”;

$mail_to = 'info@mycompany.com';
$subject = 'Message from a site visitor ';

mail($name,$phone,$email,$company,$your_message,$subject,$content,$headers);
?>
<__html>
</__body bgcolor=”#282E2C”>

This might help: http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

The real advise is still: use FormBuilder and you'll have your form running in minutes.

If I use that will it work on sites not running CMSMS? Boss wants consistency.

Sure it will! You can set field ids, names etc... And you can create a custom template for the sent message. Try it, it's a great module!

Even better, show it to your boss, he'll love you for making his life A LOT easier! ;)

If some of your sites are not using CMSMS, there's not much consistency anyways. Use that script on non-CMSMS sites. Use what's best for CMSMS (FormBuilder) on CMSMS sites.

I guess boss only cares about the email that is generated. You can make that look exactly the same as your other sites
