I have a form on my site that sends the form information directly to an email of mine. What I am wondering is the script that I would need to send a email back to the user who filled out my form, that would state something along the lines of "your Email was received. We will get back to you as soon as possible. I know this can be done, I have seen many sites that do it. I really like and I want to have it on my form. If you guys could please help me out or even link to an appropriate link that would tell me how to do this I would really appreciate it. Thank you guys.
Have it send two emails.
If your form sends an email using PHP's mail() function, just add a second mail line directly after the the mail that gets sent to you. -
<?php
-
-
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
-
mail($to_user, $subject_user, $message_user, $headers_user);
-
-
?>
-
Now obviously you'd need to define the variables, but it should be pretty straight forward. Just use the information the user input as their email address for the second email's '$to_user' email address.
The rest you can just make yourself: -
$subject_user = "Thanks for your email!";
-
$message_user = "We have received your email. Thank you.";
-
etc..

Do i need it the " in-between the variable names.
mail($to_vis, $subject_user, $message_user,);
this is what I have, $vis is my customers name
it gives me an error message
Or perhaps I need it to read
mail($vis_user, $subject_user, $message_user,);
$subject_user = "Thanks for your email!";
$message_user = "We have received your email. We will be contacting you soon.";

You've left out the fourth parameter in the mail() function which is the From header.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/bw6082/public_html/sendeail.php on line 129
Ok, the form didn't give me any errors when adding the headers mail function. But for some reason, when testing it, I didn't get the email from the form. Why could this be?
- $subject_user = "Thanks for your email!";
-
$message_user = "We have received your email. We will be contacting you soon.";
-
mail($vis, $subject_user, $message_user, $headers_user);
Did you check your junk mail?
Ok great, It worked. JKing is there a way to send it and not make it go to the junk folder? Or does that automatically do that depending on the users email application? Also it is saying its coming from a weird email address. Is there a way to assign a certain email address in the form, so the users will see its from that specific email? Example: Sean@mysite.com
$headers isn't 100% required. It's useful for sorting filters and for reply-to email addresses, but it will still send without any headers.
But, you are right. If I'm going to give an answer I should probably give the 100% answer.
Autumns you were right Sir, I just didn't add it. It was my fault, not yours. But now I have another issue, can you direct it so it doesn't go to spam? OR is that impossible? Also it's saying its not coming from the right email address in the users :from, on their email address. It gives a weird address. Can you edit that, so you can state what email it is coming from?
Sean, the best way to have it sort accurately for YOU is to have the 'from' part of the header point to a fake email address on your server.
For the end-user, you'll want to look into PHP Reply-To and From headers.
I don't mind helping, but you still need to do some of the leg work. :)
Here's how my typical $headers variable looks: -
$headers =
-
'From: ' . $name . '<' . $email . '>' . "\r\n" .
-
'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n" .
-
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
-
Read this link: PHP Mail()
Headers is technically an optional parameter. However you must always send a "From Header" which can either be set in the php.ini file or through the headers parameter.
Personally I prefer to set it in the headers parameter because I don't like messing around with my ini file. -
$headers = "From: <youremail@yourdomain.com>";
-
If it is currently showing up with a weird address you may want to look at what is stored in your $headers_user variable.
I do apologize for asking so many questions. I do really appreciate the help. I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly. So I can save it for a template. Here is what I did, and this time I get no email, but I did assign the variables and the names. Usually this would work, I just can't grip what is wrong this time. Here is my code. - $from = "From: $ve\r\n";
-
-
-
mail("brandon@dedikateddesign.com", $subject, $message, $from);
-
mail("brandonwatkins6082@yahoo.com", $subject, $message, $from);
-
mail("sean@dedikateddesign.com", $subject, $message, $from);
-
-
-
-
$headers =
-
'From: ' . $name . '<' . $email . '>' . "\r\n" .
-
'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n" .
-
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
-
-
$name= "Penciled Memories";
-
$email= "orders@penciledmemories.com";
-
$subject_user = "Thank you.";
-
$message_user = "We have received your email. We will be contacting you soon.";
-
mail($ve_user, $subject_user, $message_user, $headers_user);
-
-
-
-
?>
-
-
$name = "Penciled Memories";
-
$email = "orders@penciledmemories.com";
-
$subject_user = "Thank you.";
-
$message_user = "We have received your email. We will be contacting you soon.";
-
-
$headers =
-
'From: ' . $name . '<' . $email . '>' . "\r\n" .
-
'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n" .
-
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
-
-
mail($ve_user, $subject_user, $message_user, $headers);
-
-
That will work, though I'm not sure where you're setting $ve_user.
Just FYI, I was using _user at the end of everything as an example. It has no special effect on a variable.
Also, PHP is 100% linear, meaning the script is read from line 1 to line 100 in succession. Calling a variable on line 1 and setting it on line two will NOT work. A variable must be set before it can be used.
This is bad: - echo $name;
-
$name = "Mat";
-
This is good: - $name = "Mat";
-
echo $name;
-
- $headers =
-
'From: ' . $name . '<' . $email . '>' . "\r\n" .
-
'Reply-To: ' . $ve . "\r\n" .
-
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
-
echo $name;
-
echo $email;
-
where would I assign these variables in the code above? - $subject_user = "Thank you.";
-
$message_user = "We have received your email. We will be contacting you soon.";
Confused on this part.
I figured it out guys. thank you for all the help.
