Sorry to ask for help but I’ve got the contact form up & it’s looping on the simple captcha . . . thought I’d caught it by matching the keycode from both the contact form & the simple captcha routines but that didn’t work. If you’ve got time to help, it would be appreciated. Thanks!
I had the same problem then realised that, although it is not made clear, the CAPTCHA image validates against lower case letters only. I have since incorporated code which changes entered text to lower case before it validates against the CAPTCHA.
I’m having the same issue as Dave S. I currently have this setup on a home web server, and the contact form keeps looping on the captcha after there has been “success” with the captcha code entered. For some reason, it doesn’t not enter the Thank You page. Any assistance would help greatly! Thanks!
I all so have the same problem as you because when I try to fill in all information it the box but it doesn’t go direct to web page “Thank ”
Regard, i need for the solution
Thank !!!!
Having a simular problem. My contact form was working fine until my hosts stopped PHPMail support. Can anyone help with SMTP authentication with this form.
Thanks in advance.
I can’t get the captcha image to load, any suggestions?
Hi folks,
I’ve tried to change the font-color to white with “font-color:#FFFFFF;” in every place I could find that looked like it would take it – contact.css and all the PHP files I could find – no luck – I’m not even sure the css file is being read as I can’t even see where it gets called. Got any ideas, or perhaps a bit more documentation. I can play with this for another hour or so but if I can’t get it work I’ll have to move on the next “easy” comment package.

Hurrah! I got it to work after like 3 days
I’m using the last form: “Contact form with fields: Name, Email, Phone and Message (and Image Captcha)”. I’m testing it from my local computer (windows, php installed via a xampp server). If you upload it to a server then you probably need to do different stuff.
First I had to get a mail server working to get php to send emails out from my computer. You can just use the one from your ISP. From tutorial here: edit your php.ini file, changing the line “SMTP=localhost” to e.g. “SMTP=smtp.wlink.com.np”, where “smtp.wlink.com.np” is the smtp mail server of your ISP (look up their website).
Second my emails got rejected because the sender host was not ‘valid’. In the file “fgcontactform.php”, go to the function “GetFromAddress()” and change the line ‘$from =”nobody@$host”;’ (for me this took the value “nobody@localhost”) to ‘$from = “me@example.com”;’. This is a more ‘valid’ host, no clue why :-/
That got the form working for me on my own computer. I haven’t tried uploading the webpage to a server, so I can’t say if there would be problems with that. If anyone has corrections, I would be more than happy to hear them.
@Deck Hazen: I had problems with that too. It wouldn’t update if I went to a different page and came back. What worked for me was pressing refresh on my browser. FYI “contactform.php” calls “contact.css” in this line: “<link rel=”STYLESHEET” type=”text/css” href=”contact.css” />”
Am using the form with captcha, have installed it on my website. Works fine except when I get the mail from the sender, in the From: field in the email it says the senders name, and here’s the problem part. It says my website in the from field also. Have traced it down to the fgcontactform.php file with this code:
function GetFromAddress()
{
if(!empty($this->from_address))
{
return $this->from_address;
}
$host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$from =”nobody@$host”; !!!here is the culprit, I tried dropping the nobody and then it was just my website in the from field. I want this to be the senders email address, not my website!!!
return $from;
}
Any solutions out there, I am not a php programmer, so if somebody could just tell me what to plot in there so I receive emails it is the senders email address in the from field.
thanks Peter
Email servers properly implementing SPF validation will reject the emails with the user’s email address in the ‘From’ field
See : http://www.html-form-guide.com/email-form/php-script-not-sending-email.html
and SPF validation
The reply to function is working, that is correct. When I hit reply to in my email program it has the correct sender. But the from field email is my website.
Thanks Peter Nielsen
Problem solved, found the place in the code that needed changing, now it works:
function SendFormSubmission()
{
$this->CollectConditionalReceipients();
$this->mailer->CharSet = ‘utf-8′;
$this->mailer->Subject = “Kontakt formular fra $this->name”;
$this->mailer->From = $this->email;
$this->mailer->FromName = $this->name;
$this->mailer->AddReplyTo($this->email); !!!changed it from GetFromAddress()-now it works!!!
$message = $this->ComposeFormtoEmail();
$textMsg = trim(strip_tags(preg_replace(‘/<(head|title|style|script)[^>]*>.*?<\/\\1>/s’,”,$message)));
$this->mailer->AltBody = @html_entity_decode($textMsg,ENT_QUOTES,”UTF-8″);
$this->mailer->MsgHTML($message);
$this->AttachFiles();
if(!$this->mailer->Send())
{
$this->add_error(“Failed sending email!”);
return false;
}
return true;
}
So thanks. Guess just needed to put it out and woopti, woke up and it solved itself.

Hi. Great form code. One question how can I add a select field with validation?
Please help!!! I had the form working (sent/received email) but when I uploaded to a website, it won’t work any more. Performs all the validations but when submitting, comes back to the original form with only some of the fields initially entered still showing. I’m very confused and don’t even know quite where to begin. Any suggestions?????
Thanks much!
Currently also having some issues with changing font colors also, on both contact and thank you page, I can apply font family changes and what not but when i apply any style change to the colors it seems to not accept the color changes.
http://www.richiesportfolio.com/contact.html
my form is on this page, I have checked all through the files and can’t figure out how the font is staing on black, its driving me nuts
Even my thank you page that has not style.css file attached but just some embeded css will only let me change font and font size but the color just stays black always
Please any help much apprechiated.
I would suggest to use firebug to trace the font style
Hi im having this error “Automated submission prevention: case 1 failed” anyone can help me on this?
This message is generated from within fgcontactform.php
function Validate()
{
$ret = true;
//security validations
if(empty($_POST[$this->GetFormIDInputName()]) ||
$_POST[$this->GetFormIDInputName()] != $this->GetFormIDInputValue() )
{
//The proper error is not given intentionally
$this->add_error(“Automated submission prevention: case 1 failed”);
$ret = false;
}
It is basically saying either that the form’s input ID name was not posted along with the other information from the contact form or that it was posted but it is not the value which the script was expecting.

I can’t get the captcha image to show on IIS windows 2003 server. Any ideas? It is the only piece that will not work.
You need to enable the GD library extension See http://forums.devshed.com/iis-97/iis-6-and-gd-library-149314.html
I have gd2.dll enabled in the php.ini. Also when running the phpinfo() it shows it as fully enabled. Still no image. The same code works on a xampp server.
Let me try all this
then i’ll share My experience.
Awesome
I have added quite a few radio buttons, checkboxes, etc. to my form. The problem I am having is that if one of the required fields isn’t filled out and you submit the form, it comes up with the error message but it erases all the other entries that were previously made, except the required fields. Is there a way to keep that info in place so a person doesn’t have to fill out all these fields again? Please help, I’m still fairly new to PHP and have tried numerous things but none have worked.
Thanks,
Scott
I just want to say thank you …
