How to set up PHP with Yahoo Small Business.

[devzin98]

Hello, everyone.  I'm still kind of new at this, so please bear with me.

 

I've customized a website (hosted by Yahoo Small Business) which is now fully functional aside from the "Contact Us" page.  I have a PHP file named "send_email.php" uploaded to my root directory which has the following code:

 

<?php

$contact_name = $_POST['name'];

$contact_email = $_POST['email'];

$contact_subject = $_POST['subject'];

$contact_message = $_POST['message'];

 

if( $contact_name == true )

{

$sender = $contact_email;

$receiver = "my@email.com";

$client_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$email_body = "Name: $contact_name \nEmail: $sender \n\nSubject: $contact_subject \n\nMessage: \n\n$contact_message \n\nIP: $client_ip \n\nFlash Contact Form provided by http://www.flashmo.com";

$extra = "From: $sender\r\n" . "Reply-To: $sender \r\n" . "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

 

if( mail( $receiver, "Flash Contact Form - $contact_subject", $email_body, $extra ) )

{

echo "success=yes";

}

else

{

echo "success=no";

}

}

?>

 

 

I went ahead and changed "my@email.com" to my actual email address.  The problem I'm having, though, is that the form fails every time...except if I enter my own email address in the "Email" field which should be filled in by the customer.  I can't figure this out.  It's probably something simple that I'm doing wrong, or perhaps it has something to do with Yahoo Web Hosting.  I'm also thinking I have to fill something in the "Client IP" section of the code...but I'm not sure what should go there.

 

I'd really appreciate your time and responses.  Thanks so much.

The From: is supposed to be your email address, not the address of the person submitting the form.
