Contact forms

The forms are composed of fields (text, list, etc.) and a button that will send this information to the server.

The default behavior of the form is to send an email to your email address.

Creating a form

The creation is very simple, a form button (Send button) and the fields of your choice

The sending itself is then done via your hosting,

Simple sending of a form

The default sending system simply requires you to enter your email address (To).

Tip

Save time by entering your email address in the general properties of your site so that you don’t have to enter it each time you create a new form.

Sending doesn’t work with my web host

You do not receive the email or an error occurs during the sending.

There are limitations with some hosting providers.

Contact your web host and ask for a PHP code that works.

You can test this code directly with the personalized sending in WebAcappella

Tip

Test the operation of the PHP mail function of your web host

Basic example of a code to be copied by replacing the value of the e-mail address.

<?php

//// appel de la fonction mail
//// Demandez à votre hébergeur les parametres particuliers
//// necessaires pour la fonction mail

$result= mail( "adresse@fai.com", "Test WebAcappella form", "Test message !");

//// fin appel de la fonction mail

echo json_encode(['success'=>$result,'message'=>"Error occured !"]);

If the code works, do not hesitate to contact us to add some parameters in WebAcappella in order to facilitate the use of the forms.

Warning

We do not provide technical support for sending problems, as they are dependent on the operating or configuration hazards of the hosting. This page should help you in case of problems:

//Retrieve a WebAcappella input field value
$my_field_value = $_POST["field_id_dba6f698_fe51_4e56_8dc7_b2b87047e66d"];

$message ="";

Advanced PHP code example

Below is an example of more advanced code (https://php.developpez.com)

<?php
$destinataire = 'adresse@fai.com';
// Pour les champs $expediteur / $copie / $destinataire,
// séparez par une virgule s'il y a plusieurs adresses
$expediteur = 'adresse@fai.com';
$copie = 'adresse@fai.com';
$copie_cachee = 'adresse@fai.com';
$objet = 'Test'; // Objet du message
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n"; // Version MIME
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$expediteur."\n"; // Mail de reponse
$headers .= 'From: "Nom_de_expediteur"<'.$expediteur.'>'."\n"; // Expediteur
$headers .= 'Delivered-to: '.$destinataire."\n"; // Destinataire
$headers .= 'Cc: '.$copie."\n"; // Copie Cc
$headers .= 'Bcc: '.$copie_cachee."\n\n"; // Copie cachée Bcc
$message = 'Un Bonjour de Developpez.com!';

$success = false;
$error_string="";
if (mail($destinataire, $objet, $message, $headers)) // Envoi du message
{
    $success=true;
}
else //
{
    $success=false;
    $error_string="Non envoyé !";
}

echo json_encode(['success'=>$success,'message'=>$error_string]);
