Add reply-to address to contact form?

[MyR]

Hello,

I am using osCommerce 2.2 RC2.

Problem: my web host only allows outgoing mail from my domain.

 

I made the following change in contact_us.php to allow the form to function:

...
   $email = "customerservice@mydomain.com";
   $email_address = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['email']);
   $enquiry = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['enquiry']);

   if (tep_validate_email($email_address)) {
     tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $enquiry, $name, $email);
...

 

Of course when I receive the email, the customer's email address is not shown since I replaced it with mine.

How can I add the customer's email address to the email header as a reply-to address?

 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your quick reply!

 

That solution works but I'd still rather have the customer's reply-to address in the header if possible. Better than it was though.

Curse my web host for trying to prevent spam!

Why not to have the customers address in the subject of the email?

me too :)

 

So, you need to do following, all in file contact_us.php ofcourse

 

1) make a new definition, ie "$subject" just before the tep_mal function like this

	$subject = EMAIL_SUBJECT . ' ' . $email_address;

If you want you can have your mail without any other subject, just with the customers email

 

2) In the tep_mail function, you replace EMAIL_SUBJECT with the just defined $subject so that it looks like this

 tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, $subject, $enquiry, $name, $email_address);

 

If you did already the changes like described in email issues post #2 , then your tep_mail function will look like this

      tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, $subject, $email_body, $name, $from_email);

 

enjoy :)

Thank you very much for your help! This is a sufficient solution.

 

I would still like to add the customer's reply-to email address to the email headers if possible!

Then replace:

 

    if (tep_validate_email($email_address)) {
     tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $enquiry, $name, $email);

With:

 

    if (tep_validate_email($email_address)) {
     $headers = 'From: ' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email_address . "\r\n";
     mail(STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS , EMAIL_SUBJECT , $enquiry , $headers, '');

It seemed to work for me.

I ended up using this:

 

        if (tep_validate_email($email_address)) {
         $headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . ">\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email_address . "\r\n";
         mail(STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $enquiry, $headers, '');

 

Thanks again!
