I got this codes inside our very own Killersites.com

[Don Ross 76]

Hello,

 

I built a contact page on my website using the codes I have learn here at Killersites.com Video tutorial Library,

 

I have use an SEO tool for my website and it told me there is a broken internal link inside the code, I can't find it. Please help me where is this broken internal link.

 

Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

 

Anyway I have replaced my website address to www.mywebsite.com for privacy reason and also my email address was changed. My website is working fine and I can actually send message and received it, but in the codes the SEO tool detected a broken link. This is very easy for experience programmer.

 

Thanks for the reply in advance.

 

Kind regards,

 

Don76

 

Here is the code:

 

 

<?php

 

// variables

$to = 'support@mywebsite.com';

$subject = "Message from your website mywebsite.com";

 

$error_open = "<label class='error'>";

$error_close = "</label>";

$valid_form = TRUE;

$redirect = "success.php";

 

$form_elements = array('name', 'email', 'message');

$required = array('name', 'email', 'message');

 

foreach ($required as $require)

{

$error[$require] = '';

}

 

if (isset($_POST['submit']))

{

// process form

 

// get form data

foreach ($form_elements as $element)

{

$form[$element] = htmlspecialchars($_POST[$element]);

}

 

// check form elements

// check required fields

if ($form['name'] == '')

{

$error['name'] = $error_open . "Please fill in all required fields!" . $error_close;

$valid_form = FALSE;

}

 

if ($form['email'] == '')

{

$error['email'] = $error_open . "Please fill in all required fields!" . $error_close;

$valid_form = FALSE;

}

if ($form['message'] == '')

{

$error['message'] = $error_open . "Please fill in all required fields!" . $error_close;

$valid_form = FALSE;

}

 

// check formatting

 

 

if ($error['email'] == '' && !preg_match('/^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$/', $form['email']))

{

$error['email'] = $error_open . "Please enter a valid email!" . $error_close;

$valid_form = FALSE;

}

 

// check for bad data

if (contains_bad_str($form['name']) ||

contains_bad_str($form['email']) ||

contains_bad_str($form['message']))

{

$valid_form = FALSE;

}

if (contains_newlines($form['name']) ||

contains_newlines($form['email']))

 

{

$valid_form = FALSE;

}

 

// check if form is valid

if ($valid_form)

{

// create message

$message = "Name: " . $form['name'] . "\n";

$message .= "Email: " . $form['email'] . "\n";

$message .= "Message: " . $form['message'];

 

$headers = "From: www.mywebsite.com <support@mywebsite.com>\r\n";

$headers .= "X-Sender: <support@mywebsite.com>\r\n";

$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/". phpversion() ."\r\n";

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $form['email'];

 

// send email

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

// redirect

header("Location: " . $redirect);

}

else

{

include('contactus.php');

}

 

}

else

{

foreach ($form_elements as $element)

{

$form[$element] = '';

}

 

// display form

include('contactus.php');

}

 

 

 

function contains_bad_str($str_to_test) {

$bad_strings = array(

"content-type:",

"mime-version:",

"multipart/mixed",

"Content-Transfer-Encoding:",

"bcc:",

"cc:",

"to:");

 

foreach($bad_strings as $bad_string) {

if(stristr(strtolower($str_to_test), $bad_string)) {

return true;

}

}

return false;

}

 

function contains_newlines($str_to_test) {

if(preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\\n+|\\r+)/i", $str_to_test) != 0) {

return false;

I don't do PHP, but -unless there's a coding mistake- we wouldn't know what internal link was broken.

 

User the W3C Link Checker - http://validator.w3.org/checklink - I believe that will tell you which link is broken.

Thank you very much for that Link Checker didn't know it exist. I tried it but the robot.txt is blocking it.

 

Thanks again. Hopefully someone who knows PHP can see the code above. It was taught here at killersites.com but I'm a beginner I must have missed it.

 

Kind regards,

How many links do you actually have on that page? How about just clicking and finding which ones work and which ones don't?

hello,

 

I can do that what I'm thinking and I think what the SEO tool is telling is that there is a broken link inside the PHP code.

 

I'm not an adept PHP programmer so I really can't see where that code is broken, but I think I can find that out by the help of you Link checker from W3C you just gave me. I just have to rewrite the robot.txt so that the link checker can crawl it and find out.

 

Thanks Andrea for the help I really appreciate.

 

Kind regards,

 

Don
