No, I meant the PHP code of the page : Menu -> Page -> Page HTML

Ah, sorry. Left work now so will get this posted up ASAP. Cheers

Posted: **Fri May 17, 2019 8:12 pm**

Just got this from the hosting folk.

PHP 7.2 no longer supports the $HTTP_POST_VARS, as this was removed in PHP 7, having been deprecated in PHP 5 by PHP's developers.

This has been replaced with $_POST - as such the code will need to change to reference $_POST instead.

As an example - if the variable $information was passed in the post for the form, and the document refers to itself on the post trigger, to acquire the variable you could use:

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
$information = $_POST["information"];
}

As a comparison, HTTP_POST_VARS was not possible at a function level in PHP, only available at a file level, whereas _POST is available to all variables, hence HTTP_POST_VARS removal.

Does this help?

Cheers

No, this does not help because it is unrelated to the problem.
The WWB form script does not use $HTTP_POST_VARS !

Posted: **Sat May 18, 2019 8:57 am**

What does it use? I can go back with the info as they may be able to help. Thanks

Posted: **Sat May 18, 2019 9:53 am**

WWB uses $_POST, but again, this is unrelated to the problem.
The server error indicates a problem related to the email address.

Posted: **Sat May 18, 2019 10:01 am**

That's odd because this is the code if manually created which works in 5.6. NOTE: I have commented out the variables and as you can see, at the bottom created 'test variables' and emailed those. This actually works fine so not an issue with the email address. if I then uncomment the lines (and remove the temp bits) it fails with the error and indicates the variables have no actually come through from the form. Also note, if I use the built-in form processor, at also fails under 7.2 and works in 5.6 with the same email address.

You say it's OK, the hosting people say there end is OK - I am passing the info between you to try and get it working so any idea's would be helpful and appreciated.

TIA.

<?php

ini_set("sendmail_from", " clerk@sutton-cum-duckmanton.org.uk ");

// $permission = $_POST['permission'];
// $name = $_POST['name'];
// $phone = $_POST['phone'];
// $email = $_POST['email'];
// $subject = $_POST['subject'];
// $message = $_POST['message'];

$thetimestamp = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

// $EmailBody = "A Message from the S-c-D Web siteContact-Us \n\n";
// $EmailBody .= "On " .$thetimestamp ." this message was sent by " .$name ." as follows:" ."\n\n";
// $EmailBody .= "My Telephone number: " .$phone ."\n";
// $EmailBody .= "My Contact Email Address: " .$email ."\n\n";
// $EmailBody .= "My Message is:\n\n" .$message;
// $EmailBody .= "\n\n========== End of Message ==========\n\n";
// $EmailBody .= "[This email has been processed by the Supake Auto-Mailing System]";

// Get Status of Permission Box - and add msg if needed.

What is the PHP code of the page?

Posted: **Sun May 19, 2019 1:47 am**

Email address(es) in < > perhaps?

Hi Pablo,

Sorry, I thought you meant the PHP code for the form. The page in on a standard php page that has an iFrame with the form and results page. The code of the page is:

Happy to try anything and do any testing...

I'm sorry, but this is not the PHP code generated by the built-in form script.

1. Open the page in the software
2. Menu -> Page -> Page HTML

p.s. Built-in or manual, neither work

I do not see any errors in the code.
And as you can see, there are no refferences to $HTTP_POST_VARS anywhere!

The only reason I can think of why this code does not work is an issue on the server side.

Thanks for the update. Yes, I know (from previous posts) it's using the right POST format. I have asked them to check again... thanks for your help. Cheers

Hi Pablo

Been on this all morning (with the hosting folks) and have got to this point. If you go to
http://sutton-cum-duckmanton.org.uk/bogstandardmail/ and use the top form which is a Built-In form processor, it fails but if you use the lower form, which send it to showvars2.php and processes the code manually it works.

Note that you can use any From and To email address and so probably not a security issue.

The only thing we noticed while testing is that the code is now case sensitive, ie if you use $to = $_POST['to']; (using the form data) and then try and use such as mail($To,$Subject,$EmailBody,$Headers); ie, a cap T, then it fails.

Could it be that the built-in form is changing the case and has PHP7.2 got more case sensitive?

Any further pointers help would be appreciated but as we can now use manually processed form date, we have a work-around for now.

Cheers

PHP has always been case sensitive and so it the built-in form script.

Note that I cannot see what the PHP code of the test page is, so I cannot say anything meaningful about why the forms work or not.
What is the PHP code of showvars2.php?

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2019 2:40 pm**

Hi Pablo

Here's the HTML code of Showvars2.php:

Code: Select all

<?php

// ini_set("sendmail_from", "info@supake.co.uk");
ini_set("sendmail_from", "xxxxx@yyyyy.zzzzz");

$thevariables = $_POST['thevariables'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$to = $_POST['to'];

$Subject = "Variable testing";
$EmailBody = "Variable tests - the body - " ."\n\n" ."External Domain Used" ."\n\n" .$thevariables ."\n\n";
$EmailBody .= "FROM FIELD Specified was: " .$from ."\n\n";
$EmailBody .= "TO FIELD Specified was: " .$to;

// $Headers = "From: info@supake.co.uk";
$Headers = "From: " .$from;

mail($to,$Subject,$EmailBody,$Headers);

?>

p.s. any of the

// ini_set("sendmail_from", "info@supake.co.uk");

work. Also, are you able to send to and from a selection of email addresses using the form (to eliminate security issues)? Cheers

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2019 2:56 pm**

Do you mean that it also works when you remove this?

Code: Select all

ini_set("sendmail_from", "clerk@sutton-cum-duckmanton.org.uk");

Note that you can define the 'from' address in the form's properties.

I hadn't tried commenting that out so just gave it a go and yes, if you comment it out, it still works as expected.

Cheers

Update: I have noticed that I can only send from (to anywhere) Fasthosts based email adders to there is some check going on...

p.p.s. having a lots of problems with the forum page, keeps timing out and very slow to load.

Do you get the same error if you use another email address?

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2019 3:22 pm**

Yes, I get

PHPWarning: mail(): SMTP server response: 554 5.7.1 <info@supake.co.uk>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied in \\HP3-WINC2-SMB2.HOSTINGP3.LOCAL\DOMAINSZ\952\1944952\user\htdocs\bogstandardmail\showvars2.php on line 18

Line 18 being: mail($to,$Subject,$EmailBody,$Headers);

Cheers

So, this confirm that it's a server issue?

As mentioned you can set the 'from' address in the form's properties.

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2019 3:38 pm**

No, not really. I knew that you could do that (and did try that) in the Built-in forms but it doesn't work. I have just edited and added it back in to verify and it still fails. Cheers

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2019 3:54 pm**

Well here's an oddity, if you go into the settings and choose 'Mail Engine' and select 'mail' the built-in form works as expected, why would that be? Cheers

EDIT: its gets better - it appears I can actually 'send from' any email address, even fictitious email addresses, eg foo@bar.com will send email. Give it a go, the bottom form... does it work for you?

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2019 5:06 pm**

No, not really.

Yes, it does!
The script does not care which email address you use, so somewhere on the server sode there is a filter that checks which email address issue as 'from'.

[quotwhy would that be?[/quote]
Because it uses php mailer instead of standard PHP mail. This works different and may bypass some server specific configuration.

Sorry, when you put

So, this confirm that it's a server issue?

, with a ? mark, I thought you were asking me. In any case, as I can either use 'hand coded' or 'PHP Mailer' for built-in forms, it's a win-win for me. Many thanks for your help and patience and as always, a top service. Thanks.
