Tell a Friend not fully functioning with Fasthosts

[noncents]

Firstly I wanted to give sincere thanks to everyone on these forums. Up until now i've found an answer to everything just by searching.

 

My problem is with the 'tell a friend' feature. Fashosts will only allow emails to pass through their systems that are on the domain they are sent from. In this instance [email protected] . However the tell a friend script directs the email from the users email address.

 

The solution I had in mind was to fix the sender email address to one on the domain and take away the users ability to change this. But i'm not to clued up with PHP so I can't seem to get it to work.

 

I'm looking at the file:

catalog/tell_a_friend.php

 

at line 36ish:

 

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'process')) {
$error = false;

$to_email_address = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['to_email_address']);
$to_name = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['to_name']);
$from_email_address = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['from_email_address']);
$from_name = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['from_name']);
$message = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['message']);

if (empty($from_name)) {
  $error = true;

 

Is this where I can do that? Any ideas?!?!?!

Do it later in the code:

 

	  tep_mail($to_name, $to_email_address, $email_subject, $email_body, $from_name, $from_email_address);

Alter that line to something like:

 

	  tep_mail($to_name, $to_email_address, $email_subject, $email_body, 'me', '[email protected]');

You don't "take anything away" doing it like this.

 

The email will still say "Your friend blah blah....", but the "from" email address is what you put in the code.

 

Good enough?

Much better than my idea! Absolute legend! Thanks Jim
