Form Mail in PHP

July 20th, 2007 by david.couper · No Comments


FormMail is a powerful PHP script provided by Tectite (http://www.tectite.com/formailpage.php)free for anyone to use. I’ve used it in some projects and it’s a very usefull script, has a lot of features but yet easy to implement. Tectite takes security very seriously so the form has a built in “Version Checker” and it emails you everytime there’s a newer version available. Also if there’s any problem on the email submission you will receiver a warning from the script.

The FormMail form processing script allows your HTML forms to (all these features are optional): (extracted from tectite.com)

     * send you their results by email (supports any number of email

recipients)

    * store their results in a CSV (comma separated values) database on your server

    * create a log file entry of activity on your server

    * use obfuscated email addresses to prevent SpamBots from harvesting your email addresses

    * accept no spam; FormMail blocks spam through automatic attack detection tests as well as optional image verification (CAPTCHA) features. Tectite’s form processor is a complete anti-spam solution.

    * encrypt their results before they are emailed to you (ideal for securely collecting credit card data)

    * redirect to a specific URL on success (e.g. allow a user to download software after filling in a form)

    * redirect to a specific URL on failure (customized error page)

    * alert you of failures

    * work as simple email gateways - just create a form with one non-special field (usually a textarea field) and formmail.php will format the email appropriately

    * use GET or POST methods for form submission

    * store information in a TectiteCRM Customer Relationship Management System

    * send HTML emails formatted with your form results

    * upload files

    * perform advanced field validations

    * perform advanced error handling

    * send an autoresponse to the person submitting your form

    * support for other human languages (internationalization)

    * GeoIP support

The site has a wizard that you can use to create a tailor made FormMail script making it easy to implement into your website. You can run the script from any folder within your web account with no need to cgi access. For more info and download go to www.tectite.com/formmail.php
