Hi guys I have a question I am kind of a beginner on PHP so maybe somebody can help me.
I want to create a html contact page but I created already the html.
Now the problem is as you see I am creating a action.php page which I will give the code below but I don't understand why when I did it it appears a 500 error and it says it can not find the action.
But I don't want for my page to go to another page after submitting I want for it to stay on it and just show over the html contact form THANK YOU!
I want the action to be inside the same page index.html or if not possible can I make a action.html page instead reason is because I don't know how to create html inside PHP or at least my DreamWeaver shows me errors.
WHAT AM I AM DOING WRONG?
<form method="post" action="action.php">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="New contact from test website one">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thank-you.html">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="New Contact from my website plumbers pro">
<label for="name">Full Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" size="30" maxlength="40" autofocus>
<br />
<label for="email">E-mail</label>
<input type="text" name="email" size="30" maxlength="40" autofocus>
<br />
<label>Message</label>
<textarea rows="5" name="message" cols="30"></textarea>
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="6LeV8wsUAAAAAAjmdjxK-DG-1AT0jZ16e3tOaxHh"></div>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="request" >
</form>
HERE IS THE PHP I AM USING
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "markuzdesigns@gmail.com";
$email_subject = "New Contact from Website example one";
$first_name = $_POST['name']; // required
$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
$comments = $_POST['message']; // 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 />';
}
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
$error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($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);
}
$email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Message: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'Bcc: info@EMAIL.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
?>
