I have a team email form which matches email of the sender and receiver using only names. I want to add a js prompt so that someone not on the list could use their email to send a message. here's what I have
else {
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>prompt('$otheremail');</script>";
$otheremail = file_get_contents("otheremail.json");
#$otheremail=$_POST['data'];
$findat2= '@';
$pos2=strpos($otheremail, $findat2);
while ($pos2 == false) {
$pos2 = 'enter a valid email';
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>prompt('$pos2' , '');</script>";
}
}
mail($toaddress, $subject, $message, $headers);
$success=htmlspecialchars($_GET['to']);
$success=ucwords($success);
$valid= 'sent to' . ' ' . $success . ' ' . 'from a php server. Hit the back arrow' ;
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('$valid');</script>";
Heres the whole body
<?php

This should be achieved through jquery's ajax, since php is executed on the server side it is always executed before the javascript and so you can't do it that easily. Here's my suggestion (without ajax):
<form action = "p1.php" method = "post"> and then in that form display the inputs for the user to choose the email to send from.Here's how to use ajax, this is javascript:
This could be a function triggered by a button click or other event...
<script>
function send_mail(to_email, message, headers){
var from_email = prompt("Where from?");
var form_data = {from:from_email ,to:to_email, message, headers};//add your own data
$.ajax({
url : "send-email-page.php",
type: "POST",
data : form_data ,
success: function(data)
{
//data is what the send-email-page will echo
//it could be a message for the user saying 'email sent'
}
});
}
</script>
And you could have something like this in your php page:
<a href = "javascript: send_mail(<?php echo "$to,$message,$headers";?>)">Send from another address</a>
After editing my answer:
Once again, if you include JS in the php the JS will be printed to html but it will not be executed untill all the php code has
Perhaps it would be best for you to evaluater whether there is a valid name or not and, if not, print a new form with an input asking for the other name, and when this form is submited it calls itself(the php page) again with the same GET parameters except for the new name the user inserted, this way you are continuously asking for a valid email/name until you have one, if the name is valid then simply send the email and don't print the form.
