Hi, PHP beginner here. I'm trying to run a very basic script which does the following: 1) Input some data into a form 2) Outputs the data onto the screen 3) Click submit and e-mail it to me. The purpose of it is simply to learn how to input some data, output that data along with some basic calculations and then to send that data to an e-mail address. #1 & #2 I can do. I can enter some text and some numbers and on the next screen I can print a message containing the data I put into the form. Also I am taking the variables and doing some calculations which is fine. However, when I click submit (on the second screen) to e-mail the data to me, I am getting an e-mail but none of the variables have retained the data. FORM <html> <body> <form action="form2(2).php" method="post" name="PHPTEST" id="PHPTEST"> <table width="50%" border="0"> <tr> <td width="30%" scope="col"><div align="left">First Name</div></td> <th width="70%" scope="col"><div align="left"> <input type="text" name="fname" id="fname"> </div></th> </tr> <tr> <td><div align="left">Second Name</div></td> <td><input type="text" name="sname" id="sname"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>E-Mail Address</td> <td><input name="email" id="email"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Date of Birth</td> <td><input type="date" name="dob" id="dob"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>First Number</td> <td><input type="number" name="num1" id="num1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Second Number</td> <td><input type="number" name="num2" id="num2"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> <p> <input type="submit"> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </form> </body> </html> SECOND PAGE OUTPUTS DATA TO SCREEN <html> <body> <form action="sendmail3.php" method="get" name="PHPTEST" id="PHPTEST"> <p> <?php $fname = $_POST["fname"]; ?> <?php $sname = $_POST["sname"]; ?> <?php $email = $_POST["email"]; ?> <?php $dob = $_POST["dob"]; ?> <?php $num1 = $_POST["num1"]; ?> <?php $num2 = $_POST["num2"]; ?> <?php $add = $num1+$num2; ?> <?php $mul = $num1*$num2; ?> <?php $div = $num1/$num2; ?> <?php $newDate = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($dob));?> <?php echo "Welcome <i>$fname $sname</i>";?> <br> <br> <?php echo "Your email address is <i>$email</i>";?> <br> <br> <?php echo "Your date of birth is <i>$newDate</i>";?> <br> <br> <?php echo "The first number you chose is <i>$num1</i>";?> <br> <br> <?php echo "The second number you chose is <i>$num2</i>";?> <br> <br> <?php echo "If you add these numbers together you get <i>$add</i>";?> <br> <br> <?php echo "If you multiply these numbers together you get <i>$mul</i>";?> <br> <br> <?php echo "If you divide $num1 by $num2 you get <i><font color=\"#FF0000\">$div</font></i>";?> <br> <br> <br> <br> Do you want to send this e-mail? </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit"> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </form> <p> </p> </body> </html> <?php ?> THIRD PAGE SENDS E-MAIL - BUT VARIABLES NOT HOLDING DATA. <html> <head> <title>Sending email using PHP</title> </head> <body> <?php $fname = $_POST["fname"]; ?> <?php $sname = $_POST["sname"]; ?> <?php $email = $_POST["email"]; ?> <?php $dob = $_POST["dob"]; ?> <?php $num1 = $_POST["num1"]; ?> <?php $num2 = $_POST["num2"]; ?> <?php $add = $num1+$num2; ?> <?php $mul = $num1*$num2; ?> <?php $div = $num1/$num2; ?> <?php $newDate = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($dob));?> <?php $message = "Hi, this is an email from $fname $sname"; $to = "myemail@mydomain.com"; $subject = "TEST MESSAGE FROM $fname $sname"; $headers = "From: $email \r\n"; $message = "This is simple text message from $fname $sname"; mail ($to, $subject, $headers, $message); echo "Thank you $fname $sname"; ?> </body> </html> OUTCOME I receive an e-mail saying: This is simple text message from From: But it hasn't retained $fname or $name or $email. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
