Hi,
I have a php contact form so user can input name, e-mail, website, subject and message. I installed on my droplet php and Postfix. What else do I need or do I need to configure something? My Droplet is Ubuntu 14.04.
I really don’t know how to setup this thing so it works.
Here is the php code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
$time = time(); // get unix timestamp
# SETTINGS
// email to send to
$email_to = "ENTER EMAIL HERE";
// subject prefix with unix timestamp, each message will have unique id [#]: "CHEMPO Contact Form [#1234567890]- Bla bla"
$subject_prefix = 'Chempo.com Contact Form [#'.$time.']- ';
function died($error) {
echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}
// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['sender_name']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['website']) ||
!isset($_POST['email_subject']) ||
!isset($_POST['comments'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}
$sender_name = $_POST['sender_name']; #$sender_name = mysql_real_escape_string($sender_name);
$email_from = $_POST['email'];
$website = $_POST['website']; // not required
$email_subject = $_POST['email_subject'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$error_message = "";
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= '<span style="color:#e50000;">The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.</span><br />';
}
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$sender_name)) {
$error_message .= '<span style="color:#e50000;">The Name you entered does not appear to be valid.</span><br />';
}
if(strlen($email_subject) < 2) {
$error_message .= '<span style="color:#e50000;">The Subject you entered do not appear to be valid.</span><br />';
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= '<span style="color:#e50000;">The Message you entered do not appear to be valid.</span><br />';
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";
function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}
$email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($sender_name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Website: ".clean_string($website)."\n";
$email_message .= "Subject: ".clean_string($email_subject)."\n";
$email_message .= "Message: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
$email_subject = clean_string($email_subject);
$email_subject = $subject_prefix.$email_subject;
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
echo '<span style="color:#00d614;">Thank you for contacting me. I will be in touch with You very soon. Please use navigation bar above to continue browsing my site.</span>';
}
else{
?>
Thanks in advance.

Okay, your question is a little incomplete. First, are you getting any errors as a result of your current setup ? If so what is it ?
Depending on your setup you may want to make sure some of these are installed.
sudo apt-get install php-pear sudo pear install mail sudo pear install Net_SMTP sudo pear install Auth_SASL sudo pear install mail_mime
sudo apt-get install postfix
^ guessing you already ran this
Edit php.ini file from /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini sendmail_path = “/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i”
#Restart apache that is if you have Apache running sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
