safe email contact form

Ls,

I have been browsing this forum for tips concerning email contact forms.
Via wikidot i've found: http://indexhibit.wikidot.com/plugins:email-form#toc3

Would this be a relative safe contact form to use? And if so, where do i have to put my email address in the .php file?

Thanks V much for the help!

I doubt it - been alot of problems with their code over there (they are not affiliated with this project). Search our forum for one I released some time ago...

Thankyou for your reply. I'll have another look on the forum, did the form work eventually? [i've seen the thread recently]

If you find it show me - I can't remember all of these things anymore... ;)

it's on my site and working ;-)

i'm a happy camper!

now just needs some changes regarding dutch language.

ps. it would be great if the .php file would also automatically send a message to the person filling in this form. I would be looking for this after filling in a contact form...

hmm, is there a way to change the text on the the button 'submit query'?

btw this is the thread i used to make the contact form.

Does the button really say submit query? That's funny...

Just find the button in the code and edit "Submit Query" to whatever you want.

hmm, it's browser dependant...

in google chrome it has the correct dutch text 'verzenden'

but in IE 9 it shows 'submit query'

it has probably got something to do with language settings for my browsers.

that's all, we can close this topic.

that's really strange...never heard of that.

pernin / 2011-11-21 11:22:51   

really weird... I hadn't seen that. It's true, the button is Submit for all major browsers while IE8 (and 9 too I guess) goes for Submit Query

Vaska A / 2011-11-21 11:26:24   

Now it makes sense. This is what I put:

  1. $html .= "<div><input type='submit' name='submitted' class='a-submit' />n";

And this is what it should be:

  1. $html .= "<div><input type='submit' name='submitted' value='Submit' class='a-submit' />n";

Thats kind of crazy that if you don't add the value attribute it takes care of things instead of making a blank button.

pernin / 2011-11-21 11:47:17   

Right! And I'm using the value 'Send', 'Submit' is kind of Geekish (unless of course it's an S/M site)

Vaska A / 2011-11-21 11:57:26   

Repent, instead? ;)

pernin / 2011-11-21 12:02:18   

Ha, ha! I like that one, goes well with my beard ;)

I am implementing this form for someone. My question is: how do I add extra fields?

http://marloestoonen.nl/project/sleurkalender/

First add the fields between line 40 and 47, but what do I need to do with all the return stuff below?

I basically want to add 4 more message fields, so people can order a product from the website.

Thanks in advance for any info!
