BleepingComputer.com: PHP Contact form

Here is the scenario, i host websites on a Microsoft 2008 Server with IIS7 and i also have an Exchange 2007 server

what i am trying to do is create an email contact form possibly in either php or asp that will use my exchange server to send the email when someone fills out an submits from the website. Now the email may not go to me but to an external domain that is not on my exchange server.

i know i have probably confused everyone. but its hard to explain

Thanks for any and all help

Ok, so what is the question?

do you know of any way for me to create a form or point me to a tutorial that will let me do this through an exchange server? i have looked all over and have a found a couple of scripts, but they are not working as expected.

It's been a while since i have done this, but from memory, in your php.ini you can configure your SMTP server settings and set the authentication (exchange requires a valid account to relay mail). Then set your php contact form to send the form output to the email address(es) that you want. Should have no problems with this...

Did you get any error messages?

A contact form is simply HTML. One does not make a form 'in' PHP, although one can process the results of a form using PHP. I have a tutorial at the top of the forum that explains how to read data from a form using PHP. Then as kamikaze stated, you need to figure out how to set your php.ini to point to your smtp server.

This is an example of how to mail from PHP:

<?php
$to = "recipient@example.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
 }
?>
