phpMailer with ajax

raizel · #1 (**permalink**) 10-05-09, 02:32 PM

hi,

I am struck between ajax and phpMailer.I have a contact form the script of which is saved in contact-us.php

PHP Code:


			

<?php include("include/header.php");?>
<script language="javascript">

function createRequestObject() {
    var ro;
    var browser = navigator.appName;
    if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
        ro = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }else{
        ro = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    return ro;
}

var http = createRequestObject();

function sendemail() {
    var name = document.contactform.name.value;
    var email = document.contactform.email.value;
    var company = document.contactform.company.value;
    var phone = document.contactform.phone.value;
    var inquire = document.contactform.inquire.value;
    var msg = document.contactform.comments.value;
    var subject = "Website Contact Enquiry";
    document.contactform.send.disabled=true;
    document.contactform.send.value='Sending....';

    http.open('get', 'sendit.php?name='+name+'&email='+email+'&company='+company+'&phone='+phone+'&inquire='+inquire+'&msg='+msg+'&subject='+subject+'&action=send');
    http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
    http.send(null);
}

function handleResponse() {
    if(http.readyState == 4){
        var response = http.responseText;
        var update = new Array();

        if(response.indexOf('|' != -1)) {
            update = response.split('|');
            document.getElementById(update[0]).innerHTML = update[1];
        
        }
    }
}

</script>
 
<div id="contentPages">

the other one which is saved in sendit.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php

if(!isset($_GET['action']))
{
die("You must not access this page directly!"); //Just to stop people from visiting contact.php normally
}
$name = trim($_GET['name']); //The senders name
$email = trim($_GET['email']); //The senders email address
$company = trim($_GET['company']); //The senders company address
$phone = trim($_GET['phone']); //The senders phone
$inquire = trim($_GET['inquire']); //The senders inquiry
$message = trim($_GET['msg']); //The senders message
// Enter path to class.phpmailer.php if this form is not in the same folder as it.
require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mailer = new PHPMailer();
$mailer->IsSMTP();
$mailer->Host = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465';
$mailer->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
$mailer->Username = ' ';  // Change this to your gmail address
$mailer->Password = ' ';  // Change this to your gmail password
$mailer->From = 'xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com';  // This HAS TO be your gmail address or it won't work!
$mailer->FromName = 'From Me'; // This is the from name in the email, you can put anything you like here
$mailer->Body = "Name: ".$name.''."Email ".$email.''."Company: ".$company.''."Phone: ".$phone.''."Inquire: ".$inquire.''."Message: ".$message;
$mailer->Subject = $subject;
$mailer->AddAddress("xyz@xyz.com");


if (!trim($name)) { 
  echo "<font color='red'><p>Please enter your Name</p></p>.</font>"; 
}
elseif (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$", $email)) {

  echo "<font color='red'><p>It appears you entered an invalid email address</p>.</font>";

}

elseif (!trim($message)) {

  echo "<font color='red'><p>Please go back and type a Message</p>.</font>";

} 

 elseif (!trim($email)) {

  echo "<font color='red'><p>Please go back and enter an Email</p>.</font>";

}
else {
echo 'contactarea|Thank you '.$name.', your email has been sent.'; //now lets update the "contactarea" div on the contact.html page. The contactarea| tell's the javascript which div to update
}
  if(!$mailer->Send())
   {
      echo "Message was not sent<br/ >";
      echo "Mailer Error: " . $mailer->ErrorInfo;
   }

 ?>
