Contact Form redirecting to php (problem)

[Nic727]

Hi,

 

When I fill my contact form with informations and click on the submit button, I'm redirected to the contact.php file. How can I avoid that?

 

My current code for my form is that :

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
	
    $to = 'contact@nicolas-duclos.com';

	/***** Valeurs du formulaire *****/
	
    $name = $_POST['name']; //Required
    $lastname = $_POST['lastname'];

    $email = $_POST['email']; //Required
    $phone = $_POST['phone'];

    $object = $_POST['object']; //Required
    $message = $_POST['message']; //Required

    $headers = "From: " .$name. "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$email."\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n"; 

	$message = " Name: " . $name . "\r\n Last Name: " . $lastname . "\r\n Email: " . $email . "\r\n Telephone: " . $phone . "\r\n Object: " . $object . "\r\n message: " . $message;

    mail($to, $object, $message, $headers);
	
}
 ?>

Also, there is some stuffs I don't understand when receiving emails.

Instead of having : FROM [Name, Last Name] with object [Object]

I have : FROM [Name@server12332.com] Object [Object]. Anyway to do this?

 

Finally, is there a way to seperate the message from all other informations in $message? Maybe a line or something else.

 

thank you.

There's no redirection in that code, so I assume you just have your form submitting to contact.php.

I'm not sure what you're asking.

You can use \r\n to add more line breaks.

Hmm... Weird. What about my form?

<form method="post" action="contact.php">
				<p>Les champs sont obligatoires*</p>
				
			<div class="rowform">	
				<div class="half gauche">	
				    <label>Prénom*</label>
				    <input name="prenom" id="prenom" type="text">
				</div>
				 
				<div class="half droite">	
				    <label>Nom</label>
				    <input name="nom" id="nom" type="text">
				</div>
			</div>
				
			<div class="rowform">
				<div class="half gauche">
					<label>Courriel*</label>
					<input name="courriel" id="courriel" type="courriel">
				</div>	
			 
				<div class="half droite">	
					<label>Téléphone</label>
					<input name="phone" id="phone" type="text">
				</div>	
			</div>
		
			<div class="rowform">	
				<label>Sujet*</label>
				<input name="sujet" id="sujet" type="text">
			</div>
				
			<div class="rowform">	
				<label>Votre message*</label>
				<textarea name="message"></textarea>
			</div>
				<div class="end-form">	
                    <button id="submit" class="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="envoyer"><i class="fa fa-paper-plane" aria-hidden="true"></i> Envoyer</button>
				</div>	
			</form>

For the other thing :

The form submits to contact.php. If that's your PHP code, then after sending the email you can show some HTML or redirect to another page.

 

For the From header, the RFC for email contains several examples of formatting the address in that header. You can write the name then the email address in angle brackets:

Thank you, but for my contact.php I just want to :

 

1. Stay on the same page and just clear the form

or

2. Remove form and show a message like "Thank you".

 

These thing I can find on the web, but how can I avoid redirecting to contact.php?

1. Stay on the same page and just clear the form

add this : header('location : your_form_page.php');

after the folowing :

 mail($to, $object, $message, $headers);

2. Remove form and show a message like "Thank you".

you can do that using sessions in php or using Ajax calls to send the form data to contact.php

Good luck

I was thinking about using javascript or jQuery to verify form and make something with that.

 

Not sure it will work if I will do that :

header('location : index.html);

It will just reload the page from the top.

 

I will try to find something with JavaScripts to make the form clear or remove form to show a success message.

If you don't want the page to refresh at all then you use ajax to submit the form data and send the email.
