How to generate unique codes in PHP?

How do I connect these two PHP, HTML codes?

  • I have these two codes that I need to be on the same page. How do I combinde them? I know it has somthing to do with the "action" of the form. <?php $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Contact Us"; $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; $headers = "From: $email"; $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; if($sent) {print "Your mail was sent successfully"; } else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; } ?> And <form method="post" action="contact.php"> Email: <input name="email" type="text"><br> Message:<br> <textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br> <input type="submit"> </form>

  • Answer:

    You can use the following code: <?php $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Contact Us"; $email = $_POST['email'] ; $message = $_POST['message'] ; $headers = "From: $email"; $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; if($sent) {print "Your mail was sent successfully"; } else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; } ?> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']"> Email: <input name="email" type="text"> Message: <textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea> <input type="submit"> </form> $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] just submits it to the same page it is on, alternatively you could just put the actual file name there too.

1) They both need to go into the same PHP script. 2) The 'action' attribute of the 'form' tag needs to point to the name of whatever you call your file. 3) Your PHP code needs to be modified with an IF condition, so it will check for the 'submit' variable in the POST content before attempting to handle the form submission. There is example code for this, with description, at the link below.

If you want to use 2 pages.. just put the top code into a page called "contact.php" and the bottom code into a page called "form.html" or whatever you want to name it. I would change $_REQUEST to $_POST You can also shorten the code up some with using.. if (mail()) instead of storing it to "sent".

// save this in one php file only. notice the if isset condition that i added and i remove your action="contact.php" // the submit button has added name="submit" and id="submit" <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Contact Us"; $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; $headers = "From: $email"; $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; if($sent) {print "Your mail was sent successfully"; } else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; } } ?> <form method="post"> Email: <input name="email" type="text"><br> Message:<br> <textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit"> </form>

You need to use the $_POST global array such as $mail = $_POST['email'];

It's very simple. Just leave action blank. Like this: action=""

You need to copy your PHP code into a different file named contact.php and put that file in the root directory of your website. Happy New Year, Mark

u can use this, <form method=\"post\" action=\"".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."\"> like this one in mine: 1: <?php 2: //connect to server 3: $mysqli = mysqli_connect("localhost", "de", "somepass", "testDB"); 4: 5: //check to see if we're showing the form or adding the post 6: if (!$_POST) { 7: // showing the form; check for required item in query string 8: if (!isset($_GET["post_id"])) { 9: header("Location: topiclist.php"); 10: exit; 11: } 12: 13: //still have to verify topic and post 14: $verify_sql = "SELECT ft.topic_id, ft.topic_title FROM forum_posts 15: AS fp LEFT JOIN forum_topics AS ft ON fp.topic_id = 16: ft.topic_id WHERE fp.post_id = '".$_GET["post_id"]."'"; 17: 18: $verify_res = mysqli_query($mysqli, $verify_sql) 19: or die(mysqli_error($mysqli)); 20: 21: if (mysqli_num_rows($verify_res) < 1) { 22: //this post or topic does not exist 23: header("Location: topiclist.php"); 24: exit; 25: } else { 26: //get the topic id and title 27: while($topic_info = mysqli_fetch_array($verify_res)) { 28: $topic_id = $topic_info['topic_id']; 29: $topic_title = stripslashes($topic_info['topic_title'])… 30: } 31: 32: echo " 33: <html> 34: <head> 35: <title>Post Your Reply in ".$topic_title."</title> 36: </head> 37: <body> 38: <h1>Post Your Reply in $topic_title</h1> 39: <form method=\"post\" action=\"".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."\"> 40: <p><strong>Your E-Mail Address:</strong><br/> 41: <input type=\"text\" name=\"post_owner\" size=\"40\" 42: maxlength=\"150\"></p> 43: <p><strong>Post Text:</strong><br/> 44: <textarea name=\"post_text\" rows=\"8\" cols=\"40\" 45; wrap=\"virtual\"></textarea> 46: <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"topic_id\" value=\"$topic_id\"> 47: <p><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Add Post\"></p> 48: </form> 49: </body> 50: </html>"; 51: }
