Form Mail
Here is a simple Form Mail script. It can be used on your website for people sending you messages, rather than using an email link. The script provides a form with name, email address, and message. It validates the email address format. It also provides some protection against mail bombing by only allowing 3 messages to be sent from a single browser session. You can easily modify the script to fit the theme of your site, or change the form.
<?php
// modify the two lines below
$emailAddress = "mail@domain.com"; // your email address
$thankyouPage = ""; // put in a url (or relative page) to go to a Thank You page
// modify the two lines above
session_start();
if (!empty($_POST)) {
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) {
$_POST[$key] = stripslashes($_POST[$key]);
$_POST[$key] = htmlspecialchars($_POST[$key],ENT_QUOTES);
}
}
if (isset($_POST['send']) AND isset($_SESSION['msgCount'])) {
if (!preg_match("(^[-\w\.]+@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,4}$)i",$_POST['email'])) $alert = "You have entered an invalid email address.";
if ($_SESSION['msgCount'] >= "3") $alert = "Only 3 messages can be sent per session.";
if (empty($alert)) {
$_SESSION['msgCount']++;
putenv('TZ=EST5EDT'); // eastern time
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: <".$_POST['email'].">\r\n";
$message = "<table cellpadding='5' border='1'>";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
if (!preg_match("(^send)",$key)) {
$value = wordwrap($value,65,"<br />");
$message .="<tr><td><b>$key</b></td><td>$value</td></tr>";
}
$message .= "</table>";
$message .= "<br />Time of the message: ".date(" F d h:ia")."<br />";
$message .= "IP Address: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."<br />";
$message .= "Hostname: ".gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])."<br />";
$subject = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']." Message";
mail($emailAddress,$subject,$message,$headers);
if (!empty($thankyouPage)) {
header('location: '.$thankyouPage);

$alert = "Your message has been sent.";
