I am curious as to why I am getting an 404 error with my contact page.

I am using .php and html. here are two screenshots. I am needing help with this. Am I missing something? If you need me to clarify anything let me know.

A program takes your PHP source code and transforms it to HTML that's sent to the client. Your error is that the webserver can't find that the program that does that transformation. Where are you serving from?

actually, the title has nothing to do with the error the error just means that intelephense cant find the php executable in your pc if you are on windows, download php and throw the folder in c:\php\<version> then edit the configurations to point to the php.exe file the 404 error needs context and is unanswerable until we know how and what you are doing and the html as well

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I’m using bluehost and I’m using a Mac. Sorry for the late response.

Jochem•13mo ago

what Epic said is accurate btw, you have shown nothing that would make it possible to diagnose a 404 error

JonathanOP•13mo ago

What do you need to see to know the error.

Jochem•13mo ago

When are you getting the 404 exactly? When you go to the contact page, or when you submit the form?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

When I submit the form

Jochem•13mo ago

then we'll need to see the HTML of the form, specifically the form tag preferably in a code block, not a screenshot

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay, I will get that. Give me a minute. Not sure how to do the code block

Jochem•13mo ago

there's instructions in #how-to-ask-good-questions, but very quickly ```html your code here ``` Those are backticks, the character left of 1 on a qwerty keyboard

Jochem•13mo ago

what's the URL of the contact page? just the part after .com/ or whichever

JonathanOP•13mo ago

www.1kmdesigns.com

Jochem•13mo ago

did you upload the process_form.php file?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

yes I have, but I am not sure why its not finding the php file.

Jochem•13mo ago

can you show a directory listing of your web root?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

sure just a second

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Here are two screen shots of the root on the server is this what your talking about? The other screen shot is where I uploaded the php. I was told to upload it here by bluehost.

Jochem•13mo ago

the second one is a screenshot of a piece of database management software, that's not where PHP goes.

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay, then the lady did not know what I was asking then.

Jochem•13mo ago

put the php file in the same folder as index.html, see if that works.

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay Yes it worked, I dont think the person I talked to knew exactly what she was doing. Also after the viewer submits the file, I would like the user to be redirected back to the website. how do I do that?

Jochem•13mo ago

header('Location: /');

header('Location: /');

JonathanOP•13mo ago

OKay... Ill put that in, just a second Sorry but its not redirecting

Jochem•13mo ago

You have to move the echo. If that doesn't work, share your code

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay I put the echo back so you can see how it was before. Here is the code

<?php
header('Location:https://1kmdesigns.com /');
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";

    mail($to, $subject, $fname, $lname, $mobile, $message, $headers);

    echo "Thank you for your submission!";
}

<?php
header('Location:https://1kmdesigns.com /');
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";

    mail($to, $subject, $fname, $lname, $mobile, $message, $headers);

    echo "Thank you for your submission!";
}

Jochem•13mo ago

sorry, that was a typo, it was supposed to read "remove". Where did you put the header() call?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I put the header at the top I am checking into why I did not receive the test emails.

Jochem•13mo ago

oh, missed it there you need to put that in the part of the script where the redirect needs to happen, so replace the echo with that redirect. Also, there's no need to put the entire URL there, and if you do, you don't need the space-slash

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";

    mail($to, $subject, $fname, $lname, $mobile, $message, $headers);

    header('Location: /');
}

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";

    mail($to, $subject, $fname, $lname, $mobile, $message, $headers);

    header('Location: /');
}

like that you're also not using mail right, check the docs

JonathanOP•13mo ago

OKay, let me make the changes would this be correct?

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";

    mail(
        'string',
        $to,
        'string',
        $subject,
        'string',
        $fname,
        'string',
        $lname,
        'string',
        $mobile,
        'string',
        $message,
        'string',
        $headers
    );
    'bool';

    header('Location: www.1kmdesigns.com');
}

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";

    mail(
        'string',
        $to,
        'string',
        $subject,
        'string',
        $fname,
        'string',
        $lname,
        'string',
        $mobile,
        'string',
        $message,
        'string',
        $headers
    );
    'bool';

    header('Location: www.1kmdesigns.com');
}

I also deleted the echo, but it keeps showing after submission

Jochem•13mo ago

it's not correct no. the mail function has this signature:

 mail(
    string $to,
    string $subject,
    string $message,
    array|string $additional_headers = [],
    string $additional_params = ""
): bool

 mail(
    string $to,
    string $subject,
    string $message,
    array|string $additional_headers = [],
    string $additional_params = ""
): bool

It means that, in order, it will take a string that represents the TO, a string that represents the SUBJECT, a string that represents the body of the message, then an array with additional headers. Your original version would send an email to [email protected] using the subject Contact Form Submission from Person Name, with the first name in the body, then the lastname as an additional header. If it didn't error out, which it probably would given that it's getting too many parameters You probably want something like

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";
    $body = "$fname $lname, $email, $mobile, $message";

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

    header('Location: /');
}

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";
    $body = "$fname $lname, $email, $mobile, $message";

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

    header('Location: /');
}

also, did you re-upload the file after making changes?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Yes I did, but for some reason its not making the changes. Let me check again and see whats going on.

Jochem•13mo ago

did you save the file before re-uploading? (I suggest these "is it plugged in" type solutions because they have both lost me hours of time in the past btw)

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I will try it, I will continue later as I have a meeting this morning. I will message you later Okay, I am receiving emails, but within the emails, I am not getting the messages.

Jochem•13mo ago

Share your code

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";
    $body = "$fname $lname, $email, $mobile, $message";

    mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
}

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST["lname"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Contact Form Submission from $name";
    $headers = "From: $email";
    $body = "$fname $lname, $email, $mobile, $message";

    mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
}

I went back to this php. I do get emails from this, but no the message within. The re-routing is not working. I get the 404 error when I use the new code that that you show me or follow by a link you posted. I write the new code and it did not work. So I reverted back to this one. I am now sending the html code

Jochem•13mo ago

so is the email empty, or are you not getting the message part of the form? if you're still using this HTML, you need to name your text area by adding name="message" to your opening <textarea> tag

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I am not getting the message part of the form. I get an email, but no message. With the exception of the persons email and phone number. No message. so if I were to add the name="message" would it be like this

<div class="row100">
                        <div class="col">
                            <div class="inputBox textarea">
                                <textarea required="required">
                                 <name="message">
                                 </textarea>
                                <label class="text">Type Your Message Here...</label>
                                <span class="line"></span>
                            </div>
                        </div>

                                <textarea required="required">
                                 <name="message">
                                 </textarea>
                                <label class="text">Type Your Message Here...</label>
                                <span class="line"></span>

                    <div class="row100">

Jochem•13mo ago

no, <textarea name="message" required>, same as for <input> tags

JonathanOP•13mo ago

<div class="col">
                            <div class="inputBox textarea">
                                <textarea "name="message" required="required">
                                <label class="text">Type Your Message Here...</label>

<div class="col">
                            <div class="inputBox textarea">

                                <label class="text">Type Your Message Here...</label>
                                <span class="line"></span>
                                </textarea>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="row100">

I hope I got it right this time. I want to learn this, so I have to figure out what to do.

Jochem•13mo ago

I don't think you're allowed to have tags inside of a textarea tag, honestly https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/textarea this says you can only have text in there the name attribute looks good though

ἔρως•13mo ago

what's the url you're visiting to view the form?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

www.1kmdesigns.com Okay, is there a youtube tutorial to see how to set it up with the code that I have? and thankyou

Jochem•13mo ago

the MDN article has a lot of examples... You probably want this though:

<div class="inputBox textarea">
  <label for="message" class="text">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message name="message" required placeholder="Type Your Message Here..."></textarea>
  <span class="line">
</div>

<div class="inputBox textarea">
  <label for="message" class="text">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message name="message" required placeholder="Type Your Message Here..."></textarea>
  <span class="line">
</div>

ἔρως•13mo ago

on your website, the textarea doesn't have a name

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay, I am going to compare with he code, I want to see where my mistake is first.

ἔρως•13mo ago

what he wrote is what you want

JonathanOP•13mo ago

huh, okay, I am going to fix, I will see what to do

Jochem•13mo ago

the mistake is that form elements (like input and textarea) need a name, otherwise they don't get sent along with the form submission

ἔρως•13mo ago

by the way, completely aside from everything here... YOUR PAGE IS A MASSIVE SECURITY BLACKHOLE

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay, that makes sense Yeah, I am trying to work on that. I am new to web developement

ἔρως•13mo ago

my advice: do not send emails

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I am not sure how to add more security.

ἔρως•13mo ago

well, it's easy-ish create an admin page for you, where you can see the messages sent those messages are stored in a database you can use sqlite, or mysql, it doesn't matter then, you make yourself check everyday to know how many messages you have or have it send you an email at the end of the day, with how many messages you have, if you have any you have to do some validation on the server side, as client side validation is as useless as the paper it is written on it's amazing for quick feedback, but that's it on the server side, you also have to sanitize the data - like removing tags and other weird garbage

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Yes, all I need is someone to send a quick email and then I respond. Which one would you suggest sqlite or mysqul?

ἔρως•13mo ago

it depends on your host

JonathanOP•13mo ago

sorry mysqul I have bluehost

Jochem•13mo ago

you have access to mysql, you showed a screenshot of phpMyAdmin earlier

ἔρως•13mo ago

just use mysql then

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Yes I do okay

Jochem•13mo ago

I'd recommend looking up a bunch of tutorials though, setting that up goes quite a bit beyond the scope of a forum post. Make sure to read up on SQL injection prevention, and using prepared statements if you have questions, please open a new post with a descriptive title. This one's already wildly off topic, and ideally each post has a single topic

ἔρως•13mo ago

another thing, to reduce spam, you should use a token, which you store in a session. then, you compare it. if it is the same, process the rest of the input. if it is different or missing, or no session exists, then you have to return a message saying that everything was sent but yes, this is getting wildly off-topic it's my fault by the way, you're loading the same script 3 times

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay I will look into all of this, I will checkout the script

ἔρως•13mo ago

good luck

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Thanks, also where it says

required placeholder="Type Your Message Here...">

required placeholder="Type Your Message Here...">

I dont need it to say Type Your Message Here... because I have it moving up and down when you put your cursor inside the text area. When I add in that part of the code, it shows up. In grey in front of the one I already have. The area kinda animates up and down.

ἔρως•13mo ago

remove the placeholder then

JonathanOP•13mo ago

okay

ἔρως•13mo ago

is everything working?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

All I did was delete just the part that said "Type Your Message Here..." So now it worked great

ἔρως•13mo ago

no, i mean, do you still have problems getting the values and the error 404?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I have not checked it out yet, but i think it will work. I also remember setting up mysql 14yrs ago when I got out of web development. I knew very little at that time as well. I recognize the program that I downloaded.

ἔρως•13mo ago

you shouldnt need to set it up, it's usually set by the host

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I setup the MySQLWorkbench that year. Sorry, I had to clarify I do have an admin. I just am not sure how to secure it to the contact page. I am looking it up on youtube right now

ἔρως•13mo ago

just use pdo and prepared statements

JonathanOP•13mo ago

OKay, this what I am getting. I still dont get the message in the email. I do receive the emails that are sent.

ἔρως•13mo ago

can you show a new copy of the code that sends the email?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

sure I will send the HTML and the PHP

ἔρως•13mo ago

alright

that's the whole code in process_form.php?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Yes, a developer helped me with that, I believe that is the entire code for the contact page. This is all that the developer helped me with awhile back, but I had problems with it.

ἔρως•13mo ago

i don't see anything wrong

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I Know, but I am not sure as to why I only get the email address with a phone number from the contact page and not a message with the email.

ἔρως•13mo ago

this is what's being sent

ἔρως•13mo ago

this is the element inspector

ἔρως•13mo ago

the code you sent here doesn't correspond to the code you have on the website

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay, I am trying to get the code to match, but I cant seem to get it to work lol

ἔρως•13mo ago

well, that's very outside the scope of this how are you even sending the code to the website?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Yes I keep updating but the code wont update at all I am uploading it to the file manager

ἔρως•13mo ago

do you know if you have some sort of cache enabled?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I am not sure, let me look that up Okay, I located the cache and deleted and restored it

ἔρως•13mo ago

nope. im sure you're editing the wrong file are you editing the index.php file? or index.html?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

I edited the index.html I left the php alone OKay it is now working!!!! Really quick, I cant find a tutorial on hot meet web regulations for my website. all I find is for Wordpress.

ἔρως•13mo ago

now it should work properly

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Yes it is. I want to add in a way for the page to re-rout back to my website after people have sent an email to me

ἔρως•13mo ago

well, considering the issues i've pointed out for you, you should take care of those before moving forward and im not joking your website is a walking virus, waiting to pounce on you

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Yeah, am not sure how to do this. I updated teh PHP, I also did the MySQL. for my website

ἔρως•13mo ago

you don't have to do anything super complicated are you sure you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to send emails?

JonathanOP•13mo ago

Okay, I was able to add the emails to my computer through the apple mail. so now I believe I validated things. What can I do to know that my website is secured. I do have an SSL, the FTP I am not sure how to do that.

ἔρως•13mo ago

Okay, I was able to add the emails to my computer through the apple mail. so now I believe I validated things.

all you did was to login into your email client, you didn't validate anything on the server side

What can I do to know that my website is secured. I do have an SSL, the FTP I am not sure how to do that.

this is a very loaded question that should be asked in a different post. but in short: you're not

JonathanOP•13mo ago

OKay What Community do I have to go for this kind of help?

ἔρως•13mo ago

#back-end

JonathanOP•13mo ago

ἔρως•13mo ago

JonathanOP•13mo ago
