Simple 1 page PHP/JQuery contact form
31 Mar 2010I’ve been after a simple 1 file contact form in PHP and jQuery for ages, below is a dead simple cut & paste solution for a simple contact form
contact.php
<?php
//configs
$email_to ='me@myemail-address.com'; //put your email address here
$email_subject_prefix ='MySite.com contact form: '; //put the email sibject line prefix here
$email_from ='server@yourserver.com'; //put the email address that this form will be sent from
$email_from_nice ='Server'; //put in the 'nice' name for the email sender
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
//Check to make sure that the name field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['contactname']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$name = trim($_POST['contactname']);
}
//Check to make sure that the subject field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['subject']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$subject = $email_subject_prefix;
$subject .= trim($_POST['subject']);
}
//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
if(trim($_POST['email']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['email']))) {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
}
//Check to make sure comments were entered
if(trim($_POST['message']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
if(function_exists('stripslashes')) {
$comments = stripslashes(trim($_POST['message']));
} else {
$comments = trim($_POST['message']);
}
}
//Check to make sure comments were entered
if($_POST['spam_prevention_test']) {
$isSpam = true;
}
//If there is no error, send the email
if(!isset($hasError) AND !isset($isSpam)) {
$emailTo = $email_to; //Put your own email address here
$body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nSubject: $subject \n\nComments:\n $comments";
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from_nice.' <'.$email_from.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;
mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
$emailSent = true;
}
}
?>
