[Solved] Could u plz check my contact form and search form

[sylvain]

Hi id like that some moderator or admin check and test my contact form and search form. Also if the moderator or admin could do changes on it. I'm no expert its very old code that i have found online long time ago, but i think you could check it and fix it.

What i have notice. I have simply gone to my contact form with captcha, then i fill my self the form and write some text message; after i enter the captcha and click send. I have gone see my messages after, and i have notice it was in my spam and not in my inbox. I dont mind if it goes in the spam directory, if the system protect the servers its maybe best to leave it that way "i think".

The other thing is my old search php form, i dont know what to do at all. Its a form that i have found many years ago, again i'm no expert beside many others. I have simply notice when i go to my search form, there is a text message at the top of the pages writing this (ive copied the message seen); would like if u could fix it because im affraid to do some errors:

Warning: Use of undefined constant submited - assumed 'submited' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/sylvain.heliohost.org/public_html/web-search.php on line 4
 

Thanks for your time and help. Also thanks for the great work you have done on the servers. I'm glad to still have my url for the peoples that know, and my free personnal website is still there. As you can see by writing you, i'm still with you and glad to be with you.

For peoples seeing this public help request message:

If peoples want to know a great web hosting place, heliohost.org is a very great place to start; with great peoples that administrate it.

Once again many thanks.

Hello, sylvain.

We need more information to help you with your contact form and its messages being marked as spam.

Could you please share with us the email headers? You can see how to get them here: https://mxtoolbox.com/public/content/emailheaders/.

Regarding your web search, it would be necessary to check its code (if possible, entirely; if not, at least a few lines before and after line 4 that's throwing the warning).

Could you please post it here within code tags?

[code]your web-search.php code here[/code]

With you providing us with that information, we can better help you.

 

PS.: I've moved your topic to the Website Management and Coding section since it's more focused on your site's code rather than HelioHost services. Let's keep the discussions organized so we can provide better support.

I have difficulty to understand your demand for the contact form. Is it the files that have the html codes into that make the contact form? It's some moderators if i remember that helped me trough it many years ago. If you need these files ill be glad to provide but in private. Or maybe some moderator could simply replace the contact form, that look alike to an other contact form mostly the same as i have.

 Contact form as a box that is named (name) that the user enter the name he/she want, a box named (subject) that is the title of the message, a box that is named (email) that the user enter his/her email adresse. "Upmost important" a image captcha that need to be filled, to not have some robot spams or junks; this to respect heliohost and its servers, similar as the one at my https://sylvain.heliohost.org/contact . The last thing of course is a (send button). Then after pressing the send button, it show an other page into with the indications as: "its possible that messages is not sent correctly, because servers might have problems", " and not sure your gonna have a reply from us". The order of these boxes is not much of importance. But as i say the "captcha" is very important, also the message is just plain text "no attatchments at all". Because i would not like that heliohost and its servers have some problems. The moderators and administrators had done soo much work lately, because of Eddy server and Tommy also and the rest. Simply because i care for each of you

Now about my search form, well it was an old search form i have found free made in flash, but i dont think i have the flash ".fla" file anymore. The idea of this form is quite basicly a search form that the user enter in the first box the thing he/she search. After the user choose a search engine from the list, next one of the options (web) (img) (vid). I'm sure you have guessed that web mean (web search) img mean (image search) and you know vid for (video). Next the user click on the button (search) wich make a "_blank" page as if some one would search on one of the search engines. It arrive that the options (web), (img), (vid) does the same search result. Here is the codes at the top before doc html:

<?php
# give submit button a name 
# do it only if submit button clicked 
if ( $_GET[submited] )
{
# die if no search engine selected 
if ( !isset($_GET[u]) )
{ die("<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 22px;\">Select a search engine</p>"); }
$u = $_GET[u];
# strip slashes from query 
# urlencode query 
$q = $_GET[q];
$q = urlencode(stripslashes($_GET[q]));
/* 
if other search engines use a name other than q, set them = to $q 
*/

$w = $_GET[w];

Have difficulty to understand how to put codes in the forum

Hello, @sylvain.

To fix the warning in your web-search.php file, please follow these steps:

1. Open your file web-search.php and find line 4:

if ( $_GET[submited] )

2. Change it to:

if ( $_GET["submited"] )

Please let me know if this fixed the warning in your website search.

 

Regarding your contact form, I'll need to see the email message marked as spam. Please follow these steps:

1. Log in to your email account and open the message sent to your spam folder.

2. Visit https://mxtoolbox.com/Public/Content/EmailHeaders/.

3. Find your email client (desktop software like Microsoft Outlook 2016, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.) or email provider (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo!, etc.) on that site and follow the steps it lists to get the email message headers.

4. Send me the email message headers via PM here.

 

Once I've reviewed the email message headers, I'll walk you through the subsequent procedures.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

[sylvain]

I have changed the code in the web search thanks to you.

But about the Email Headers https://mxtoolbox.com/Public/Content/EmailHeaders/. I dont see at all in the options "RoundCube" that Plesk have. If i need to set an email to my computer, sorry i did not do it and i wont do. I only access email account trough webpages, not directly by computer. Because directly could be an entrance door to some virus. So i guess some moderator or admin could find the email header by accessing to my account.

What i have simply done is fill my self the contact form as any one would do and created some user name, created some subject, creating some fictive email and message. If you have access to my account and you do the simple contact form; after you should notice message sent that it have entered my spams account.

Thanks for your time and help.

It is not necessary to set up your email on your computer. I did not notice that link had no instructions to Roundcube.

For Roundcube, please follow this tutorial to get the email header: https://www.domain.com/help/article/email-management-how-to-get-an-email-header.

Unfortunately, as a moderator I do not have that access level to view your files (i.e. access your file manager and check your files, read your emails, etc.).

Please let me know if that new tutorial works for you.

PS.: I would like to remember that email headers may have private data, e.g. email addresses and email content. If you do not want to post them here, just send me a private message here.

[sylvain]

Kairon just letting u know i have sent a pm.

[sylvain]

Just letting you know Kairon that ive sent you an other pm

[Kairion]

Hi @sylvain.

I have sent you a new reply, but as I said, without you sharing the email header and your contact form code, it is impossible for me to help you.

[Kairion]

Thank you for providing the necessary information, @sylvain.

I am escalating your case to our root admins.

[Krydos]

The account has been moved to 65.19.141.77 and 2001:470:1:1ee::2002, and SPF, DKIM, and DMARC have been set up. Thanks for summarizing so I didn't have to read the previous 50 pages.
