PHP email form
HTML form
It's not a good idea to leave your private e-mail address on your web-site due to impossible activity of spammers. But nevertheless you need some way to get feedback from your visitors. In the three parts of this tutorial I'll tell you in details how to create a mailbox, that would be spam-protected, and will recieve text messages from you visitors. We'll create 2 small PHP files, one would send messages, the other will recieve them and simultaneuously delete them from the server. Realization of this project requires about 2 kbs of space on a server that supports PHP. Despite the fact, that these example files lack any ornamentation of programming or any other nature, they must just work without requiring any additional settings.Let's create the first file, index.php
<html><head><title>BRIEF MESSAGE</title></head><body><br>
<table width="100%" height="100%"><tr><td align=center><br>
<form action="index.php"><br>
Message:<br><textarea name="mes"></textarea><br><br><br>
<input name="yes" type="hidden" value="1"><br>
<input type="reset" value="Clean"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send"><br>
</form><br>
<?php
//php-code from the Part 2<br>
?>
<br>
</td></tr></table></body></html> The first two lines and the last one - are well-known HTML tags with their attributes, their purpose is to place the input form into the center of the screen. The visible part of the form (form) contains a named multi-line input field textarea and two standard controlling buttons - one for clearing the form (reset) and the other for sending the message (submit). Their captions (value) match their purpose. The action attribute of form tag links to itself, so for controlling the php-script, that we'll write in the second part of the tutorial, let's add a hidden field named yes to the tutorial. As we'll see later, what really matters is not it's value, but the fact of it's existence. But in order not to make the variable empty, let's assign it some value, for example, 1.
If you see our new-created file in some browser, you'll see an input field with two buttons in the center of screen. Though that won't work yet.
receiving the message
Let's now examine the code of PHP script that is to be entered into the file that we've created in the fist part of the tutorial. Now let's give names to 2 simple text files, that will be being created and deleted dynamically by our scripts. Let it be n.txt to store the current number of messages, and m.txt - to store their text.In order for our script to be executed only in return to the sending button (submit) being pressed, let's state the main condition. If a non-empty variable yes is received, then do work. That's how this rule will look from the point of view of PHP interpretation. After pressing Send button, this rule is held automatically.
if (!empty($_GET['yes'])){
//php code
} Inside this rule we process the pressure of Send button. If there is an input, let's assign the value entered (text) to the $mes variable, or, if no input is made, we quit the script and inform user about it.
if(!empty($_GET['mes']))$mes=($_GET['mes']);else exit("Input message!");
Now let's write a code for the counter file - n.txt
if (!file_exists("n.txt")){//if there is no counter file,
// let's create it, write into it value "1" and close it.
$fp = fopen("n.txt","w+");
fputs($fp,1);
fclose($fp);
$n[0]=1;//it' s the value of the first and the only one lement of the array.
}else{//if there is a counter file,
//let's read it's value to the array $n, add 1 and close the file
$fp = @fopen("n.txt","r+");
$n = file("n.txt");
$n[0]++; // increase the counter onto 1
fputs($fp, $n[0]);
fclose($fp);
} Now we need only to write down or add the text, that is entered by the user (together with it's number and date/time) from $mes into m.txt file and inform user about it. Of course, the file must be closed afterwards, and the script must be also be completed.
$dat = date("d m y H:i");//enter the variable - current date and time.
$fp = fopen ("m.txt", "a+");
fwrite ($fp, $n[0].". ".$dat."\n".$mes."\n\n");
fclose ($fp);
exit("Your message is accepted."); The whole PHP code from the first part of the tutorial will look like the following:
if (!empty($_GET['yes'])){
if(!empty($_GET['mes']))$mes=($_GET['mes']);else exit("Input message!");
if (!file_exists("n.txt")){
$fp = fopen("n.txt","w+");
fputs($fp,1);
fclose($fp);
$n[0]=1;
}else{
$fp = @fopen("n.txt","r+");
$n = file("n.txt");
$n[0]++;
fputs($fp, $n[0]);
fclose($fp);
}
$dat = date("d m y H:i");
$fp = fopen ("m.txt", "a+");
fwrite ($fp, $n[0].". ".$dat."\n".$mes."\n\n");
fclose ($fp);
exit("Your message is accepted.");
}
?>
Reading and deleting the message
Let's create a file for reading and deleting messages. We'll call it, for example, read.php. As in the previous file, in this one the first and the last lines create the html-arrangement of a table.<html><head><title>Read messages</title></head><body>
<table><tr><td>
<?php
//php-code
?>
</td></tr></table></body></html> The meaning of the php-code listed below is the following. If no messages (the message file does not exist), we finish the script and inform the user about it. If there are messages, we create an array ($n) of m.txt file lines, and string by string, by the means of a loop from 0 up to the array size (count($n)) print the lines out to the screen. Afterwards we delete the n.txt and m.txt files in order to save disk space.
<?php
if (!file_exists("m.txt")){//if there is no message file
exit("No messages!");
}else{//if there is a message file
//read messages from it into an array $n
$fp=@fopen("m.txt","r+");
$n=@file("m.txt");
fclose($fp);
//create a loop for a line-by-line print out to the screen
for ($i=0; $i<count($n); $i++)
echo $n[$i]."<br>";
unlink("n.txt");//delete the file
unlink("m.txt");//delete the file
exit;//finish the script
}
?> Now we place both files creates in this lesson - that is, index.php и read.php - into a folder, that is called, for example, antispam, and put the folder onto a PHP-supporting server.
Than the send-message URL will be http://www.name_of_server.domen/antispam/, and read-message URL - http://www.name_of_server.domen/antispam/read.php
Keep in mind, that the information is deleted from the server, and save the received messages on your PC, if you need them.
Just one note. On a UNIX server it may be required for normal work to add a text files' attributes' setting chmod(), and, if the mailbox will be used intensely, a flock() blockage.
