I utilized a client’s contact form email for their website since my standard one didn’t work on her site. Now, she’s receiving a few form submissions, such as mine and a random, but when I submit using my personal email or she from hers, she’s not receiving the contact form email at all.
What’s wrong with this code that it’s not sending? Happy to provide whatever additional code you need (e.g. the form).
The PHP script (mail.php)
function stripFormSlashes($arr)
{
if(!is_array($arr))
{
return stripslashes($arr);
}
else
{
return array_map('stripFormSlashes', $arr);
}
}
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$_POST = stripFormSlashes($_POST);
}
$message = "";
$message .= "First Name: " . htmlspecialchars($_POST['first_name'], ENT_QUOTES) . "<br >n";
$message .= "Last Name: " . htmlspecialchars($_POST['last_name'], ENT_QUOTES) . "<br >n";
$message .= "Email: " . htmlspecialchars($_POST['email'], ENT_QUOTES) . "<br >n";
$message .= "Phone: " . htmlspecialchars($_POST['telephone'], ENT_QUOTES) . "<br >n";
$message .= "Company: " . htmlspecialchars($_POST['company'], ENT_QUOTES) . "<br >n";
$message .= "Comments: " . htmlspecialchars($_POST['message'], ENT_QUOTES) . "<br >n";
$lowmsg = strtolower($message);
$injection_strings = array ( "content-type:","charset=","mime-version:","multipart/mixed","bcc:","cc:");
foreach($injection_strings as $suspect)
{
if((stristr($lowmsg, $suspect)) || (stristr(strtolower($_POST['first_name']), $suspect)) || (stristr(strtolower($_POST['email']), $suspect)))
{
die ( 'Illegal Input. Go back and try again. Your message has not been sent.' );
}
}
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rnContent-type: text/html; charset=utf-8rn";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bitrn";
$headers .= "From: "" . $_POST['first_name'] . " " . $_POST['last_name'] . "" <" . $_POST['email'] . ">rn";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST['email'] . "rn";
mail("[email protected]", "Contact Form Submission", $message, $headers);
header("Location: ../thank_you.html");
?>

I’ve tried to change the FROM around a bit to see if maybe that was causing issues, but that seems to just kill the submissions completely.
