One of my contact forms no longer is able to send (it used to until some server updates were made), for it keeps posting the following error:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 5.1.7 Invalid address in C:\contact.php on line 71
This form does work on three other servers, so obviously the form is in working order but not on this particular server.
I was recommended to "set the PHP script up to log in to the SMTP server" using this example:
I've only gotten this far and cannot figure out how to actually create it to SEND:
<?php
// set flag to indicate whether mail has been sent
$mailSent = false;
if (array_key_exists('eList', $_POST)) {
// mail processing script
// remove escape characters from POST array
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
function stripslashes_deep($value) {
$value = is_array($value) ? array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) : stripslashes($value);
return $value;
}
$_POST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_POST);
} $email = $_POST['email']; // check for valid email address
$pattern = '/^[^@]+@[^\s\r\n\'";,@%]+$/';
if (!preg_match($pattern, trim($email))) {
$error['email'] = 'Please enter a valid email address';
}
// validate the input, beginning with name
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
if (empty($name)) {
$error['name'] = 'Please enter your First Name';
}
$lname = trim($_POST['lname']);
if (empty($lname)) {
$error['lname'] = 'Please enter your Last Name';
}
$department = $_POST['department'];
if ($_POST['department'] == '') {
$error['department'] = 'Please select a Department';
}
// check the content of the text area
$messageBody = trim($_POST['message']);
if (empty($messageBody)) {
$error['message'] = 'Please enter your message';
}
// initialize variables
if (!empty($_POST['url'])) {
$to = 'email@email.com';//
$subject = 'Suspected as SPAM';
$host = 'smptout.serverserver.net';
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';
} else {
$to = 'email@email.com';//
$subject = 'Here we are';
$host = 'smptout.serverserver.net';
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';
}
$SpamErrorMessage = "No URLs permitted";
if (preg_match("/http/i", "$name")) {echo "$SpamErrorMessage"; exit();}
if (preg_match("/http/i", "$lname")) {echo "$SpamErrorMessage"; exit();}
if (preg_match("/http/i", "$email")) {echo "$SpamErrorMessage"; exit();}
if (preg_match("/http/i", "$messageBody")) {echo "$SpamErrorMessage"; exit();} // check for spam //build the message
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$message = "To: $department\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "From: $name $lname\r\n";
$message .= "$email\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Question/Comment: $messageBody";
//build the additional headers
$additionalHeaders = "From: Contact <here@here.com>\r\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Reply-To: $email";
//send the email if there are not errors
if (!isset($error)) {
$mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $additionalHeaders);
// check that the mail was sent successfully
if (!$mailSent) {
$error['notSent'] = 'Sorry, there was a problem sending your mail. Please try later.';
}
}
}
?>
Thank you for your help!
