I’ve taken over a website where the developer created a bespoke wishlist/basket. Technically it was working but it wasn’t getting much response from anyone. I’ve been tasked with adding a contact form to the end of the process that emails the details to the company. I’ve used the same contact form on various sites but can’t get it to work on this one.

Here’s the problematic bit of code:

<script>
function quoteme() {
        $("#msgbox_body").html('<div id="contactform"><form class="form" method="POST" action="http://www.dtrmedical.com"><table border="0"><tbody><tr><td><p class="name"><label for="name">Your Name:</label></p></td><td>&nbsp;</td><td><input type="text" name="name" id="name" /></td></tr><tr><td><p class="email"><label for="email">E-mail:</label></p></td><td>&nbsp;</td><td><input type="text" name="email" id="email" /></td></tr><tr><td><p class="tel"><label for="tel">Telephone:</label></p></td><td>&nbsp;</td><td><input type="text" name="tel" id="tel" /></td></tr><tr><td><p class="submit"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" /></p></td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table><? if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $to = "rob@teamworksdesign.com"; $subject = "DTR Medical Contact enquiry"; $name_field = $_POST['name']; $email_field = $_POST['email']; $tel_field = $_POST['tel']; $body = "DTR Medical,\n\n You have an enquiry from the website, please see the details below:\n\n Name: $name_field\n Company Name: $companyname_field\n Address: $address_field, $address1_field, $address2_field\n Town: $town_field\n County: $county_field\n Postcode: $postcode_field\n Country: $country_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Tel: $tel_field\n Message:\n $enquiry_field"; mail($to, $subject, $body); echo "Thank you for getting in touch, we will contact you shortly.";} ?></form></div>');
        $("#msgbox_actions").html('<input onclick="jQuery.facebox({ ajax: \'wishlist.php?emailme=true\' })" type="button" value="Save list for later" /> <input onclick="jQuery.facebox({ ajax: \'wishlist.php?basket=true\' })" type="button" value="Back to Wishlist" />');
}
</script>

The problem is the form just goes to a blank page on submission. Also I’d like to what products the customer wants in the email that gets sent to the company.

Here’s all the code in it’s entirety:

<? include "db.php";

function createcode($length = 8, $chars = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890')
{
    $chars_length = (strlen($chars) - 1);
    $string = $chars{rand(0, $chars_length)};
    for ($i = 1; $i < $length; $i = strlen($string))
    {
        $r = $chars{rand(0, $chars_length)};
        if ($r != $string{$i - 1}) $string .=  $r;
    }
    return $string;
}

if (!$_SESSION[cartid] AND ($_POST[update_product] OR $_GET[loadcode])) {
    //echo "<script>alert('cart setup!')</script>";
    getmycartcode();
}

function getmycartcode() {

    $mycart = mysql_query("SELECT id,basketcode FROM wishlistsaved WHERE sesid = '$sesid'");
    $cart = mysql_fetch_assoc($mycart);

    $sesid = session_id();

    if (!$cart[id]) {
        while ($usecode == false) {
            $basketcode = createcode();
            $findcode = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM wishlistsaved WHERE basketcode = '$sesid'");
            if (mysql_num_rows($findcode) == 0) { $usecode = true; }
        }
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO wishlistsaved (sesid, expires, basketcode) VALUES ('$sesid', NOW() + INTERVAL 14 DAY, '$basketcode')");
        $_SESSION[cartid] = $basketcode;
    } else {

    The reason the form goes to a blank page is because the <form> has the action attribute set to whishlist.php AND on submit you are not stopping the form's submit action which is to navigate to the given page with the supplied parameters using the method (post or get) you provided.

    To avoid redirection add return false; at the end of onclick function of the submit button.

    Aside from that you have many things wrong with your code. Before I try to fix them, I would need to know what is the end result you want.

    Do you want the whishlist.php to send the mail ?

    What is the code in whishlist.php as that is the page requested via ajax and thus will be responsible for initiating any server side action.

    Also why are you using PHP <? ?> code in your javascript function quoteme() as the $.html() contents. It wont work that way.

    The most likely solution to your problem is (best guess without the additional info):

    Add the email sending code to wishlist.php, AND send the name, email and telephone to wishlist.php via AJAX which you are already doing with only one parameter.

    So your wishlist.php should look like :

    ...
    if(isset($_GET['emailme']) && $_GET['emailme'] == 'true') { 
        $to = "youremail@company.com"; 
        $subject = "Company Contact enquiry"; 
        $name_field = $_GET['name']; 
        $email_field = $_GET['email']; 
        $tel_field = $_GET['tel']; 
    
        /* get other needed details */
