PHP mail using OOP

[williamrouse]

I am looking for a PHP tutorial or a script to write a small email contact form in OOP not the procedural method. I would like to use the mail server connected to my hosting services as opposed to sending it through Google. As anyone seen this?

Thanks!

I'm not sure you are going to be able to find exactly what you are looking for. You're probably better off looking for some basic OOP understanding (I know Stefan has a video or two on it) and then apply that knowledge to create a contact script.

Thanks for responding. You are probably correct in saying that I will not find exactly what I am looking for since I searched the web this morning for the tutorial or file that I wrote about here. I took a look at Stefan video last night. I am well experienced in the OOPs world having coded in C++ and Java for far too many years. The web is new to me and in my PHP code that I wrote to exercise my knowledge in PHP OPP still has a few glitches that I cant resolve and can?t find an answer in the PHP mail package documentation, so I thought I would give it a try here since you folks have been REALLY helpful to me. If you have any pull with Stefan ask him to stop what he is doing and jump to a tutorial on PHP OOPs contact form.

Thanks!

William, why don't you post what you've done here? Perhaps we can help?

I will post this soon. I am almost there. I finally got mail to come to me but the contents are not what I thought I was sending and I don't know how to work the PHP debugger in this system so it's taking a while.

Well I got this to work.

First this is modifying a procedural PHP script that I found some time ago with a OPPs PHP tutorial that I saw maby a week ago and stuffing the procedural script into the OOP version.

I tested in my developing environment and I can send emails from my home machine and then the emails are redirected back to my mail box. I don?t see why it won?t work on my site but I will put it up there tomorrow and check.

The routine required me to create an account that I left in place so that it reads better where the username email and passwords go.

There are two files. The style sheet is not enclosed in this email but if you ignore the HTML you should be able to follow the flow of the contact form that collects the information is sent to a second file that checks some parameters and concatenates others and sends the file. It?s not a big deal if you know PHP, but I don?t.

One more thing I just realized that I did not mention the second file needs presentation, I did not put that in yet.
