PHP Form mailer script problem.. Please help!

Hello everyone!

Thank you in advance for taking a look at this post for me.

--------------->   I am fairly new, designing my second website ever... I have stepped up to a bit more 'complex' form in my second website, that is designed to "request a quote" for a commercial appraisal. I have set up the  form and it seems to work just fine. But my problem is getting the php script to work with the form redirecting the user to the thankyou.html page on my site. Also, I am actually recieving the email with all the correct information, but the script just won't redirect the user to the thankyou page.

This is the error I get after hitting the submit button in a browser:

THE ERROR

Warning: file_get_contents(blockip.txt) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/85/9643885/html/root_je/php/form2mail.php on line 50


Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/content/85/9643885/html/root_je/php/form2mail.php on line 111


Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/85/9643885/html/root_je/php/form2mail.php:50) in /home/content/85/9643885/html/root_je/php/form2mail.php on line 136

THE PHP SCRIPT

-------------->   I am using a free script from the web that I found, I have tried several, but this one has shown the best results so far: It's called form2mail.php and the script reads:***********

<?php

# You can use this script to submit your forms or to receive orders by email.

$MailToAddress = "jim@jeurmston.com"; // your email address

$redirectURL = "http://www.jeurmston.com/thankyou.html"; // the URL of the thank you page.

$MailSubject = "[Website form message]"; // the subject of the email

$sendHTML = FALSE; //set to "false" to receive Plain TEXT e-mail

$serverCheck = TRUE; // if, for some reason you can't send e-mails, set this to "false"

# copyright 2006 Web4Future.com =================== READ THIS ===================================================

# If you are asking for a name and an email address in your form, you can name the input fields "name" and "email".

# If you do this, the message will apear to come from that email address and you can simply click the reply button to answer it.

# To block an IP, simply add it to the blockip.txt text file.

# CHMOD 777 the blockip.txt file (run "CHMOD 777 blockip.txt", without the double quotes)

# This is needed because the script tries to block the IP that tried to hack it

# If you have a multiple selection box or multiple checkboxes, you MUST name the multiple list box or checkbox as "name[]" instead of just "name"

# you must also add "multiple" at the end of the tag like this: <select name="myselectname[]" multiple>

# you have to do the same with checkboxes

The error means your form script is not compatible with the PHP version your server is running. PHP 5 no longer uses the ereg function so anything attached to it will not function correctly without rewriting the code of the script.

If there is a way to go back to PHP 4.x on that server, it would likely function correctly. If not, you will either need to re-write all of the ereg functions (ther are plenty of references on Google for "ereg function deprecated") or get a PHP 5.x compatible form script.

I suggest www.tectite.com, they have a very nice PHP5 compatible form mail script if you don't plan to write the php yourself.

Also, one more thing. I am having trouble finding a way to make the form redirect the user to my thankyou.html page after pressing submit. Obviously my methid isn't working, or the error may be preventing it? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated as well! Thank you so much!

If you are using the Tectite.com form mail, you can troubleshoot the no_valid_recipient here:

http://www.tectite.com/vbforums/faq.php?faq=formmail_faq#faq_formmail_email

Usually it's going to require another hidden field like this...

<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="FromAddr=someotheraddress@yourdomain.com" />

There is likely a server setting stopping you from sending mail to yourself as if it's from another domain.

The redirect hidden field is called "good_url" (there is also a bad_url for if/when the form is not processed). You can find all of the hidden fields here: http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/creating_forms.php

The hidden field with the name "redirect" should be named "good_url"

You need both the "recipients" hidden field and the "mail_options...FromAddr" hidden fields.

Sure, that's in the documentation too, you add a hidden field called "subject" with the value set as whatever you want the subject to be.
