Our servers require SMTP authentication, which in plain English means you will have to use any of your email accounts, created within the Email Manager > Email Accounts section from your control panel.
\nYou can see the code of an example contact form below(contact.html):<\/p>\n
<html>\r\n<head>\r\n<title>\r\nContact form\r\n<\/title>\r\n<\/head>\r\n<body>\r\n<center>\r\n<font size=\"5\">\r\n<b>\r\nContact form\r\n<\/b>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<\/font>\r\n<form method=\"POST\" action=\"mailer.php\">\r\nSubject:\r\n<input type=\"text\" name=\"subject\" size=\"20\">\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nName:\r\n<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" size=\"20\">\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nE-mail:\r\n<input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" size=\"20\">\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nMessage:<br>\r\n<textarea rows=\"9\" name=\"message\" cols=\"30\">\r\n<\/textarea>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" name=\"submit\">\r\n<\/form>\r\n<\/center>\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html><\/code><\/pre>\nTo have the form working you will also have to create a file called mailer.php with the below code:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\nif(isset($_POST['submit'])) {\r\n$myemail = \"youremail@yourdomain.com\"; Caution: replace youremail@yourdomain.com with a vaild one you created in Email Manager\r\n$subject = $_POST['subject'];\r\n$name = $_POST['name'];\r\n$email = $_POST['email'];\r\n$message = $_POST['message'];\r\n$headers = \"From:Contact Form <$myemail>\\r\\n\";\r\n$headers .= \"Reply-To: $name <$email>\\r\\n\";\r\necho \"Your message has been sent successfully!\";\r\nmail($myemail, $subject, $message, $headers);\r\n} else {\r\necho \"An error occurred during the submission of your message\";\r\n}\r\n?><\/code><\/pre>\nIf you already have a non-working contact form try adding the following variables and check if it works:<\/p>\n
$mymail = \"youremail@yourdomain.com\";\r\n$headers = \"From:Contact Form <$myemail>\\r\\n\";\r\n$headers .= \"Reply-To: $name <$email>\\r\\n\";\r\nmail($mymail, $subject, $message ,$headers);<\/code><\/pre>\nNOTE: The Reply-To header could be set with different variables than $email, depending on the contact form itself.<\/p>\n
If your contact form already has the $header or $headers variable you will have to add the code with the following change:<\/p>\n
$mymail = \"youremail@account.com\";\r\n$headers = \"From:Contact Form <$myemail>\\r\\n\";\r\n$headers .= \"Reply-To: $name <$email>\\r\\n\";\r\nmail($mymail, $subject, $message ,$headers);<\/code><\/pre>\nNOTE: The Reply-To header could be set with different variables than $email, depending on the contact form itself.<\/p>\n
If you wish the messages from the contact form to be received in an email box that is not on our servers just replace the $mymail in the mail() function with the email to where the emails should be sent to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
