Re: How do you create a contact form with PHP mailer?
Hello.
It is easy, but I tried to make a sample.
The code is not very clean, but please refer to it if you like.
First is the form part.
----- index.html -----
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="message-Type" message="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Contact</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Contact</h1>
<p>
Please fill in the necessary information in the form below. <br>
<form action="" method="post">
<label for=""
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" required><br>
<label for="" address</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" required><br>
<label for=""
<textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</p>
</body>
</html>--------------------
Next is the email transmission part.
Rewrite the PHPMailer path and SMTP information as necessary.
----- mail.php -----
<?php
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require_once("/path/to/PHPMailer/Exception.php");
require_once("/path/to/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php");
require_once("/path/to/PHPMailer/SMTP.php");
// config
$subject = "mail subject";
$from_name = "your name";
$from_address = "your address";
$smtp_host = "your smtp host";
$smtp_port = smtp port number;
$smtp_secure = smtp secure mode(ssl or tls);
$smtp_auth = True if SMTP authentication is required;
$smtp_username = "your smtp username";
$smtp_password = "your smtp password";
// Simple validation process of sent data
if (isset($_POST["name"])){
$name = $_POST["name"];
}else{
$name = "";
}
if (isset($_POST["email"])){
$email = $_POST["email"];
}else{
$email = "";
}
if (isset($_POST["message"])){
$message = $_POST["message"];
}else{
$message = "";
}
if ($name == "" || preg_match("/^\s+$/", $name)){
html_output("Error", "Please input your name.");
exit;
}
if ($email == ""){
html_output("Error", "Please input your mail address.");
exit;
}elseif (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false){
html_output("Error", "Mail address format is invalid.");
exit;
}
if ($message == ""){
html_output("Error", "Please input your message.");
exit;
}
$message = htmlspecialchars($message, ENT_QUOTES,"utf-8");
// Mail send process
$mailer = new PHPMailer(false);
$mailer->CharSet = "utf-8";
$mailer->XMailer = " ";
$mailer->isSMTP();
$mailer->Host = $smtp_host;
$mailer->SMTPAuth = $smtp_auth;
$mailer->Username = $smtp_username;
$mailer->Password = $smtp_password;
$mailer->SMTPSecure = $smtp_secure;
$mailer->Port = $smtp_port;
$mailer->From = $from_address;
$mailer->FromName = mb_encode_mimeheader($from_name);
$mailer->Subject = mb_encode_mimeheader($subject);
$mailer->addAddress($from_address, "");
$send_content = <<<MSG
There was an inquiry from the inquiry form.
The contents are as follows.
Name: $name
Mail Address: $email
Message:
$message
MSG;
$mailer->Body = $send_content;
if ($mailer->Send()){
html_output("Finished", "We have received your inquiry. Thank you very much.");
}else{
html_output("Error", "There was an error sending email.");
}
exit;
function html_output($title, $body){
echo <<<HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="message-Type" message="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>$title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>$title</h1>
<p>
$body<br>
<input type="button" value="Back" _onClick_="history.back();"><br>
</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML;
}
?>--------------------
