Contact_us form

[Guest]

First of all, I'm using Xwayz template, don't think that it matters, but just FYI. I have 1 issue I just cannot fix. I've contacted my hosting about this issue. They couldn't help I guess.

 

Here's what's happening. My hosting can only send emails via my own emails that are regestered on hosting. Lets say, I have an email on my hosting which is [email protected]. Email will arrive to me ONLY if in email field, whenever i'm using contact_us.php, I'll input [email protected]. There's no other way to do so. What I want to do is: make every email coming from [email protected], but make it invisible and make email input field the way, so a user can just input email there and it'll come to me like a plain text along with the inquiry. So whenever I receive the email, it'll be like this:

 

From: Name [[email protected]]

Subject: Inquiry from Mywebsite

 

---------------------------------------------------

[email protected] (User's email he had input)

Hi my name is "Name", and I like you very much!

-----------------------------------------------------

That way I can receive that email, since it's been sent from [email protected] and I can reply to that person, because i know his email - [email protected]

 

 

I'll even pay to whoever can help, it's just really frustrating, and I need my contact_us form working immediately! Without that form my website doesn't have a right to exist :(

I'll tip well whoever will help me! (PayPal)

I think this is what you want:

 

Click Me

 

You might have to change the one line of code this instead:

 

	  tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $enquiry, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

That makes the mail "from you" and "to you" but has the persons name and email addy who is trying to contact you embedded in the email body.

And just for the record, I'm a non-profit forum worker.

 

"Tips" aren't necessary nor accepted, but it is a very nice gesture on your part.

That's 1 of the things, but I still cannot receive emails, unless in "Your e-mail" field I input my email address. So what I need to do is make the form secretly send email from my own email. Thanks for your help so far!

[germ]

	if (tep_validate_email($email_address)) {
  $enquiry = 'From: ' . $name . "\n" . 'Email Address: ' . $email_address . "\n" . $enquiry;
  tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $enquiry, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

If that don't work - I'm stumped...

:huh:

 

How can mail "from you", "to you" not work?

:unsure:

Do you mean that it fails the email vaildation test if you do not put an email address in?
