So I have this form.
Its a very simple mail/newsletter form.
<form action="http://localhost/website/subscribe.php" method="POST" id="signup_form">
<label for="email"><p id = "subText">Subscribe</p></label>
<input type="text" name="email" size="30" class="required email txtEmail" placeholder = "Enter Email Address">
<input type="submit" value="Go" name="submit" class = "goButton"/>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email']))
{
// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "email@email.com";
$email_subject = "Subscription";
function died($error)
{
// your error code can go here
echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}
// validation expected data exists
if( !isset($_POST['email']))
{
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}
$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
$error_message = "";
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from))
{
$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0)
{
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";
function clean_string($string)
{
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
?>
<!-- include your own success html here -->
