I am trying to get my Contact Form to send an email via PHP. I am receiving an error of "HTTP ERROR 405.0 - Method Not Allowed". "The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used."
Below is my HTML code.
<div class="col-md-9 col-xs-12 forma">
<form action="formToEmail.php" name="myemailform" method="POST">
<input type="text" class="col-md-6 col-xs-12 name" name='name' placeholder='Name *'/>
<input type="text" class="col-md-6 col-xs-12 Email" name='email' placeholder='Email *'/>
<textarea type="text" class="col-md-12 col-xs-12 Message" name='message' placeholder='Message *'></textarea>
<div class="cBtn col-xs-12">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" />
<ul>
<li class="clear"><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-times"></i>clear form</a></li>
<li class="send"><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-share"></i>Send Message</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</form>
</div>
And here is my PHP code - (Its a free PHP email sender)
<?php
if(!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
//This page should not be accessed directly. Need to submit the form.
echo "error; you need to submit the form!";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
//Validate first
if(empty($name)||empty($visitor_email))
{
echo "Name and email are mandatory!";
exit;
}
if(IsInjected($visitor_email))
{
echo "Bad email value!";
exit;
}
$email_from = 'myEmail@domain.com';//<== update the email address
$email_subject = "New Form submission";
$email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n".
"Here is the message:\n $message"
$to = "myEmail@domain.com";//<== update the email address
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
//Send the email!
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
//done. redirect to thank-you page.
header('Location: thank-you.html');
// Function to validate against any email injection attempts
function IsInjected($str)
{
$injections = array('(\n+)',
'(\r+)',
'(\t+)',
'(%0A+)',
'(%0D+)',
'(%08+)',
'(%09+)'
);
$inject = join('|', $injections);
$inject = "/$inject/i";
if(preg_match($inject,$str))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
?>
