contact form - output to page and email

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I have the following in my controller:

$message['name'] = htmlentities(strip_tags(trim($_POST['name'])));

$message['email'] = htmlentities(strip_tags(trim($_POST['email'])));

$to = "info@mywebsite.com";
$subject = "Website Enquiry";
$content = html_entity_decode(implode("nn", $message));
$content.= "nnIP Address: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$headers = "From: ".strip_tags(trim($_POST['name']))." <".strip_tags(trim($_POST['email'])).">";
@mail($to,$subject,$content,$headers);


And the following in my view:

echo '<tr><th><b>Name: </b></th><td>'.$message['name'].'</td></tr>';

echo '<tr><th><b>Email Address: </b></th><td>'.$message['email'].'</td></tr>';


This works as expected - the POST data is output to the page and is also sent in the email. However the email does not contain the field labels, for example 'Name: ' and 'Email Address: '.

This is obviously because I don't include the labels in their respective $message[] elements, as I need to enclose these in HTML tags in the view. I don't intend to include any HTML code in my controller, so does anyone have any idea how I can satisfy both requirements?
