php Contact form script with validation
18 September 2010 by varsha
Creating a contact form using php is a simple thing that any one can do with basic php knowledge. This is a basic email contact form script and you can edit it to fit your needs.
Let first create the html form to get the inputs from the sender.
Contact.html
Here we submitting the form data to formprocess.php using “action” attribute. I have included a few general input fields that is name, email, subject and message in the form. You can add more inputs as you like.
Let create formprocess.php to accept the submitted data.
formprocess.php
if($_POST){
$name = $_POST['name']; //gets the entered name
$email = $_POST['email']; //gets the entered email address
$subject = $_POST['subject']; //gets the subject
$message = $_POST['message']; //gets the entered message
$headers = "From: $email \n"; //Set from email address
$to = "example@yourdomain.com"; //Set your to email address
//validating the fields if any empty
if($name != "" && $email != "" && $subject != "" && $message != ""){
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); //calling php mail function
} else
{
echo "Please fill in all fields and submit again!";
}
}
In our first line of code we have “if($_post)” to avoid executing the code without the form submitted. All the remaining codes are simple to read and the short comments will explain you what it do.
Your code works great. Thank you. But a quick question… I would like the put a short message “Thank you for your submission.” on the validated result page. Where can I insert the phrase into your code above?
As you can see, I’m a newbie.
Thanks so much.
You can simply add
echo “Thank you for your submission.”;
after the mail( ) and before the closing brace of the if condition.
