Using PHP to collect Form data doesn't work

tanik.sam · Post by **tanik.sam** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 6:38 am

I've tied to use the tutorial on http://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forms_php.html in order to make my form send the messages on my mail. But I have nothing on my mail. I see, that my form (when I press submit) connect to feedback.php (I see answer). I know that the webserver of my hoster supports PHP.

The php code (generated automatically by WYSIWYG WB15):
<?php
$mailto = "tanik.sam@yandex.ru";
$subject = "Feedback form";
$message = "Values submitted from web site form:";
$header = "From: ".$_POST['email'];
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if (!is_array($value))
{
$message .= "\n".$key." : ".$value;
}
else
{
foreach ($_POST[$key] as $itemvalue)
{
$message .= "\n".$key." : ".$itemvalue;
}
}
}
mail($mailto, $subject, stripslashes($message), $header);
?>

The fuL\ll code of the page with expention .php (generated automatically by WYSIWYG WB15):
<?php
$mailto = "tanik.sam@yandex.ru";
$subject = "Feedback form";
$message = "Values submitted from web site form:";
$header = "From: ".$_POST['email'];
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if (!is_array($value))
{
$message .= "\n".$key." : ".$value;
}
else
{
foreach ($_POST[$key] as $itemvalue)
{
$message .= "\n".$key." : ".$itemvalue;
}
}
}
mail($mailto, $subject, stripslashes($message), $header);

Where is the mistake?
Thanks for any idea.

First please note that this tutorial is for advanced users who want to implement their own script.
So, some knowledge of PHP is required.

If you are not an advanced user then it may be better to use the built-in script instead.
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forms.html

If that still does not work then please read "Emails are not arriving in my inbox" in the FAQ:

Thank you for your quick unswer.
I'va made according to your recommendation (by using built-in PHP form processor), and there is success when I use the form on PC. But there is still no mail when I use android smartphone. Could you give me one more idea about this problem. Thank you in advance.

Did you read the FAQ?
Did you contact your web host to ask why they do not send the email?

tanik.sam · Post by **tanik.sam** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:26 am

Yes,but I've not found information about difference between PC and smartphones. The problem just with one smartphone, I reseive the error-message, while on other devices (including other smartphones) it operates correctly. The error: "The specified email adress(tanik.sam@yandex.ru) is invalid." But it valid, of course, and i get mail from form on other devices.

What is the exact error?
What is the URL of the form?

tanik.sam · Post by **tanik.sam** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:58 am

I know the name of error because on error page in text there is an inscription ##error##
http://agrotika.by/about.html - it is a page where is a button ("envelope") in the left top of page. The form disscussed opens in lightbox.

What is the error message?

tanik.sam · Post by **tanik.sam** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:19 pm

The error message - the message which writen on page in case of error, including inscription ##error##. Namely- "The specified email adress(tanik.sam@yandex.ru) is invalid."

Post by **Pablo** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:59 pm

It seems to work correct for me.
Did you enter a valid email address?

tanik.sam · Post by **tanik.sam** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 1:34 pm

Thank you for your answers. As far as I've checked ( i've cheked pocofone p1,xiaomi mi a2 lite, lenovo a 5000, and samsung s9+, s10+ and PC), the problem is on samsung s9+ and samsung s10+.Have you faced similar situation?

The emails are sent by the server, so the browser should not have any impact on whether or not the form works.

Maybe the browser blocks sending the email to the server address for privacy reasons?

Thank you for your advices very much! if i find the decision of problem with samsung smartphones, i'll write.

Hi! The problem with samsung dissapears when I imput e-mail in form manually. It doesn't depend on brouser (i tried three different brousers on samsung) Of course, it is uncomfortable for user. Did anybody face this problem? What was the decision?

The problem with samsung dissapears when I imput e-mail in form manually.

What do you mean by this?

I have never heard about any issues with Samsung devices and email input.
WWB uses standard HTML elements. The software has no control over the behavior of input fields on browsers. It's standard HTML functionality.

I mean Samsung keyboard: if I type e-mail adress in form manually (without usage of ccookie-email-adress which appears as prompt in the top of keyboard) - all works perfectly. The same if I paste previously copied e-mail adress. But if I use prompt from cookie (wich appears in the top of keyboard when I start typing) - I have the mistake and my message is not send.

This should not make a difference. But if it does then it's a bug in the browser.

tanik.sam · Post by **tanik.sam** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 8:18 am

Exactly it is not the bug of brauser, because i have the same situation when use chrome and mozilla. It is rather the bug of samsung keyboard.
Thank you for your answers.
