Php contact form script in picocms #484

Closed CodeTipsy closed 5 years ago

CodeTipsy commented 5 years ago

Hello, php mail script included picocms - how can I achieve this? Insert html form in contact.md and mail.php? Thanks for your help.

Hi :smiley: The way you propose is possible, though you will have to place mail.php in assets/ folder. Any other location may cause 500 error or requesting script will return 404 error rendered by Pico. In fact, non-Pico-logic PHP should be avoided everywhere outside those assets. You can also try writing your script like plugin, using Pico events. There is a getFormParameter method which gets value of particular POST variables. My idea is, for instance, to post mail to http://yourwebsite.com/mail. When loading website, your PHP will look by onRequestUrl method for URL - if it is /mail, than the form parameters will be read by getFormParameter and mail will be sent. Of course there is also non-PHP, but the simplest Formspree :wink:

You can either use a 3rd-party contact form service (just search for "Contact Form Services", but please keep privacy in mind when using such services) or a plugin for Pico to keep full control. If you choose to use a plugin, please refer to the Plugins page in our Wiki; it currently lists the following contact form plugins:

Please note that our Wiki is fully community-driven and all plugins listed there were developed by 3rd-party developers. Unfortunately we can't provide support for them.
