Our servers require SMTP authentication, which in plain English means you will have to use any of your email accounts, created within the Email Manager > Email Accounts section from your control panel.
You can see the code of an example contact form below(contact.html):
<html>
<head>
<title>
Contact form
</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<font size="5">
<b>
Contact form
</b>
<br>
<br>
</font>
<form method="POST" action="mailer.php">
Subject:
<input type="text" name="subject" size="20">
<br>
<br>
Name:
<input type="text" name="name" size="20">
<br>
<br>
E-mail:
<input type="text" name="email" size="20">
<br>
<br>
Message:<br>
<textarea rows="9" name="message" cols="30">
</textarea>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Send" name="submit">
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>To have the form working you will also have to create a file called mailer.php with the below code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$myemail = "youremail@yourdomain.com"; Caution: replace youremail@yourdomain.com with a vaild one you created in Email Manager
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From:Contact Form <$myemail>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $name <$email>\r\n";
echo "Your message has been sent successfully!";
mail($myemail, $subject, $message, $headers);
} else {
echo "An error occurred during the submission of your message";
}
?>If you already have a non-working contact form try adding the following variables and check if it works:
$mymail = "youremail@yourdomain.com";
$headers = "From:Contact Form <$myemail>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $name <$email>\r\n";
mail($mymail, $subject, $message ,$headers);NOTE: The Reply-To header could be set with different variables than $email, depending on the contact form itself.
If your contact form already has the $header or $headers variable you will have to add the code with the following change:
$mymail = "youremail@account.com";
$headers = "From:Contact Form <$myemail>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $name <$email>\r\n";
mail($mymail, $subject, $message ,$headers);NOTE: The Reply-To header could be set with different variables than $email, depending on the contact form itself.
If you wish the messages from the contact form to be received in an email box that is not on our servers just replace the $mymail in the mail() function with the email to where the emails should be sent to.
