instagata!! Dude you could write that so easily! Just make yourself a simple html form to post the things to a php script and shove them into a mail() function!

fair play. I just wrote you out a bit of php to do it 3 times then clicked back or some other stupid button which wiped it so i'm gonna give up and go to bed.
Make yourself a html form for a start. I'm sure some other kind bean round here will help you out with the php much better than i could have anyway. Check out http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php for reference just incase you get bored :P

That's like something I actually know how to do :o.

What a weird conversation, everyone comes here to brass with their skills "how they could write is in so fast that it ripples the time space continum and shatters the fractual hypothesis of the universe and human mind THANK GOD ISAAC ASIMOV" but no one actually did anything, well, except Mark who posted a link.

Well, here is my take on the subject that I did some time ago, but as you might have guessed, it's not about the script or how easy or hard it is to write, it is about knowing how things work to make it secure and safe to use on a public site.

Use it with caution.


<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$iprotocol = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$useragent = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];

$mymail = "email@domain.com";

$mail = ("
$subject - sitename
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: $name \n
Email: $email \n
Message: $message \n\n
User Information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- \n
IP Address: $iprotocol \n
User-Agent: $useragent \n
");
mail( $mymail, "$subject - sitename",
$mail, "From: $email" );
?>


Well, essentially, what I figured out, the catch to mail something in PHP is the mail(); function, other than that, it is basically variables.

Like you can see that only things that are not variables are the mail(); function presented below, and the global variables pulled from the server (sent by the html form and the server itself.)

And because of this, it has me believing that it is insecure to use this, too easy to crack open and mess around I believe.


mail( $mymail, "$subject - sitename",
$mail, "From: $email" );

I offered advice - to watch out for mail injections and other headers - you should be able to figure it out yourself.
You won't learn anything is someone does it for you. You need to make a mistake or 50 to learn.

Hey guy's and girls I am looking for someone to help me out here, this is the last web job I am ever going to do which is why I dont want to learn it. After this I am out of web development. This industry though it has given me the occasionaly joy over the last 6 years and I have achieved lots of goals it's just not for me.

So anyone that has one thats prewritten and feels ok with me using it, I would feel most appreciative.

Sure, post it.

Oh, that!

Well, that really isn't secure. You need to htmlentities(), trim() and isset()/empty() every form field, check for "\\r\\n", "\\r", "\\n", "MIME-Version:". Use boundaries, proper encoding, etc.

You will also want error handling. What if they don't fill out anything in your form? Is it going to email the blank form anyways? What if they don't enter a correctly formed email (You should use regex to check)?

Slightly off topic but this is pretty sweet: http://ql.aonic.net/

so nick1presta do you have any way of helping me take kosmos form and making it more secure then?

I just finished making another email form for myself.

You can see some of the techniques I used if you want (IM or whisper me).
