I've been using the very straightforward mailit.php script to hand;e form 
mail submissions, but for reasons which I don't understands, Microsoft 
Exchange refuses to process the incoming mails from the web site.  We think 
it's because the submission email doesn't have a sender's email address 
(it's just blank), because when I enter multiple recipients, everyone else 
gets it.

So, I'm looking for a simple-to-configure, free php script to handle form 
submissions.  I'm well aware that a Google search will generate plenty of 
options, but I'd be grateful for this group's recommendations.

Ta muchly.

I'm sure your existing script could easily be modified to give a from 
address in the email.

Open it up in an editor and find the line that looks like

$something = mail($email, $subject, $message, $header)

[the variables (things starting with $) will probably have different 
names]

Select that line and all previous lines which include any of the 
variables listed in the brackets after mail and post those lines here. 
That will enable sensible suggestions for changes to achieve what you 
want...

I can't seem to find that specific line of code, so I've posted the php file 
here (www.pcave.plus.com/temp/mailit.txt).  I've converted it to a text file 
for security.

If anyone can suggest a workaround, I'd be hugely grateful.

Line 606 is:

        $headers = "From: ".$email;

That is setting the from address for the email to $email which I assume
is the email address the visitor enters in the contact form. If they do
not enter an email address it will be blank perhaps leading to your
problem.

To get round this do not set the from address to be that of the visitor.
Instead set it to a fixed address of your choice e.g. trent@wibble.com

To do this change the above line to

        $headers = "From: trent@wibble.com";

This will make all form submissions come from trent@wibble.com but it
also means that you cannot easily use your email program to reply to the
sender if they have supplied an email address. You can however set a
reply-to header which will then allow you to reply directly.

To do so put this after the above line altered earlier.

        if (strlen($email))
        {
                $headers .= "Reply-To: $email\n";
        }

That will set the reply-to header so the recipient should just be able
to click the reply button in their email client to reply to the sender.

~~~~~~~~~
However I have just looked at your contact form and the email address is
called email2

<input name="email2" type="text" size="50">

Therefore $email is not getting set hence the always empty from header.
To fix this either change the name in the form to email or change the
following lines (485 & 486) in your php script

if (($email) || ($EMAIL)) {
$email = trim($email);

to

if (($email2) || ($EMAIL)) {
$email = trim($email2);

That should do it.

Wouldn't it be simpler to fix the bit of your system that's broken, not the
one that isn't broken? Thunderbird is a free download.

I'm sure your existing script could easily be modified to give a from 
address in the email.

Open it up in an editor and find the line that looks like

$something = mail($email, $subject, $message, $header)

[the variables (things starting with $) will probably have different 
names]

Select that line and all previous lines which include any of the 
variables listed in the brackets after mail and post those lines here. 
That will enable sensible suggestions for changes to achieve what you 
want...

I can't seem to find that specific line of code, so I've posted the php file 
here (www.pcave.plus.com/temp/mailit.txt).  I've converted it to a text file 
for security.

If anyone can suggest a workaround, I'd be hugely grateful.

Line 606 is:

        $headers = "From: ".$email;

That is setting the from address for the email to $email which I assume
is the email address the visitor enters in the contact form. If they do
not enter an email address it will be blank perhaps leading to your
problem.

To get round this do not set the from address to be that of the visitor.
Instead set it to a fixed address of your choice e.g. trent@wibble.com

To do this change the above line to

        $headers = "From: trent@wibble.com";

This will make all form submissions come from trent@wibble.com but it
also means that you cannot easily use your email program to reply to the
sender if they have supplied an email address. You can however set a
reply-to header which will then allow you to reply directly.

To do so put this after the above line altered earlier.

        if (strlen($email))
        {
                $headers .= "Reply-To: $email\n";
        }

That will set the reply-to header so the recipient should just be able
to click the reply button in their email client to reply to the sender.

~~~~~~~~~
However I have just looked at your contact form and the email address is
called email2

<input name="email2" type="text" size="50">

Therefore $email is not getting set hence the always empty from header.
To fix this either change the name in the form to email or change the
following lines (485 & 486) in your php script

if (($email) || ($EMAIL)) {
$email = trim($email);

to

if (($email2) || ($EMAIL)) {
$email = trim($email2);

That should do it.

Wouldn't it be simpler to fix the bit of your system that's broken, not the
one that isn't broken? Thunderbird is a free download.
