Here is a class I use with my template system but it is easy to modify
it.
//class
class doFormsClass {
var $text = '';
var $vars = array();
var $emailto = '';
function doFormsClass(){
if($this->emailto = req::request('EmailTo',false)){
$today = Date("d/m/Y H:i:s");
$this->text = "Form submitted on $today\n\n";
//$text holds the email message
$this->vars['vars']['header'] = 'Form submitted on '.$today;
$x = 0;
while (list($k, $v)=each($_POST)) { //loop through
all the variables sent
switch($k){
//and break on keywords
case("EmailTo"):
$this->vars['vars']['mailto'] = $v;
break;
//these we don't want in the email
case 'Quiet':
case 'PHPSESSID':
case 'Email2':
case 'FormBackground':
case 'FormBottomMessage':
case 'FormTopMessage':
case 'FormSubject':
case 'FormRedirect':
case 'submit':
case 'MAIL':
break;
default:
//not a keyword
$k = ereg_replace("_"," ",$k); //get
rid of _ and replace with a space
if($v == "BR"){
//if BR add a carriage return,used for making
blank line
$this->vars['blocks']['submit'][$x]['ifs']['break'] = ' ';
$this->text .= "\n";
}else{
$this->vars['blocks']['submit'][$x]['vars']['name'] = $k;
$this->vars['blocks']['submit'][$x]['vars']['value'] = $v;
$this->text .= "$k : $v\n";
//add the variable name and value to email
}
$x++;
break;
}
}
}
if(isset($_POST['FormSubject'])){
$subject = $_POST['FormSubject'];
}else{
$subject = "Form submitted $today";
}
$this->vars['vars']['subject'] = $subject;
if(isset($_POST['Email']) || isset($_POST['email'])){
if(isset($_POST['Email'])):
$tail = "FROM: ".$_POST['Email'];
else:
$tail = "FROM: ".$_POST['email'];
endif;
}
else{
$tail = "FROM: Unknown";
}
mail($_POST['EmailTo'],$subject,$this->text,$tail); //send
the email
if(isset($_POST['Email2'])){
mail($_POST['Email2'],$subject,$text,$tail); //send CC if
needed
}
}
function getVars(){
return $this->vars;
}
}
usage
if($form_submitted){
$df = new doFormsClass();
$vars = $df->getVars();
print_r($vars); // use for the template
}
Sample form
<form method="post" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
<!-- email to receive form -->
<input type="hidden" name="EmailTo" value="email to get form">
<!-- subject -->
<input type="hidden" name="FormSubject" value="Web Form Submitted
<?php echo date('d/m/Y h:i')?>">
<!-- normal input box (underscores get changed to spaces in email)-->
Full Name: <input type="text" name="Full_Name" size="30">
<!-- add a blank line to email -->
<input type="hidden" name="break1" value="BR">
<!-- call this Email and it is used in the reply_to bit -->
Email: <input type="text" name="Email" size="30">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
