使用Django从表单POST数据发送电子邮件

Question

So I've written HTML code for a form that I want to send emails with using Django. From everything I have seen, the Django email is being used with Django's own form module in order to send emails with the data. I am wondering if it is possible at all to keep my current HTML form and access its POST data to use with Django's email functions?

You don't need to use a django Form object (like a ContactForm) : your form's POST data can be accessed through the request argument of your view.

This example was taken from the documentation ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/#preventing-header-injection ) :

from django.core.mail import send_mail, BadHeaderError

def send_email(request):
    subject = request.POST.get('subject', '')
    message = request.POST.get('message', '')
    from_email = request.POST.get('from_email', '')
    if subject and message and from_email:
        try:
            send_mail(subject, message, from_email, ['admin@example.com'])
        except BadHeaderError:
            return HttpResponse('Invalid header found.')
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/contact/thanks/')

    else:
        # In reality we'd use a form class
        # to get proper validation errors.
        return HttpResponse('Make sure all fields are entered and valid.')

It's quick and dirty, but works fine.

However, it looks like you're still struggling with form handling inside django. You may want to work on that before moving on.

Good luck.
