Need PHP script for my form

HI guys, I'm using Matt's Script FormMail and I'm getting too much
spam. Where can I find a good php script to use it on my site?. PHP or
any other were you can't see the email where you are sending the
information since that's how spammers are getting my email address.

Thanks!

The NMS version of FormMail will do what you want and it's MUCH more secure
than Matt's version.

most of the formmail type scripts use a hidden form field for "recipient".
The spambots read source code- so they "see" that email address.

To fix that- a script that hardcodes the recipient into the script, or
allows using an alias to pick from a list of hardcoded recipients.
(or modify a script you like so that it's hardcoded)

this one is set up with aliasing of the recipient

It's got more features, like sending file attachments also.

this php script doesn't have the aliasing- but can be modified.

Search their support forum, there's a half-dozen threads about hidden
recipient mods.

PHP is easy enough to code a mail form in that you really don't need to
use canned solutions:

in contactform.php:
....
<form method="POST" action="process.php">
<input type="text" name="name" size="50">
<input type="text" name="email" size="50">
<input type="text" name="subject" size="50">
<textarea name="message_text" cols="50" rows="15"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Send Email">
</form>
....

and in process.php:
....
<h1>Thanks for writing!</h1>
<?php
$from = "From: " . $_POST['name'] . " <" . $_POST['email']. ">";
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message_text'];
$to = "me (AT) mydomain (DOT) invalid";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);
?>
....

Pretty up, add error checking, etc to your heart's content.

Try this out on a page with a PHP extension (.php)


<?php if ($_POST){ if
(mail("YOU (AT) YOU (DOT) COM",$_POST['subject'],stripslashes($_POST['body']),"From:
".$_POST['email']."\r\n")){ ?>
<p>Your message is now winging its way to me at supersonic speed!</p>
<h2>You said:</h2>
<blockquote>“<?php echo "$body" ?>”.</blockquote>
<p>I will be in touch with you as quickly as possible.</p>
<?php }else{ ?>
<p>Message Failed, the gremlins are playing up!</p>
<?php } }else{ ?>
<form action="<?PHP echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"
name="mailform" id="mailform">
<fieldset title="Send Me Some Mail">
<legend>Send Me Some Mail</legend>
<label for="subject">Subject:</label>
<select name="subject" id="subject">
<option selected="selected">Enquiry</option>
<option>Suggestion</option>
<option>Praise</option>
<option>Design Work</option>
</select>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" value="Your email here" />
<label for="body">Message:</label>
<textarea name="body" cols="30" rows="12" id="body">Message you wish to
send</textarea>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send" id="Submit" />
</fieldset>
</form>
<?php } ?>

That should work like a charm
