    Once we get the basic functionality that we need, then we can work on the mail() function, and on enabling it if it's not enabled. He never even got to test it because his code wasn't even reaching the function. My opinion was to fix that first. I think it shouldn't be a question of "is my mail() enabled?" but "do I want to send mail?" and if mail() is not doing anything then then make it send mail. It comes down to opinion and programming style of what should be fixed first. @MainStWebGuy if your server is running Linux it should already have mail() configured.

    cooldude isn't it true that if our immune system is extremely strong we don't need to sanitize our $_POSTs?
  3. machupicchu
    yeah, that would be the next thing to check, but first things first

    first tool in debugging php is your echo statement. how do I know that the mail function is even getting called? well let's place echo statements there to find out! <?php //if the submit button is pressed if (isset($_POST['submit2'])) { //set variables from form data $name = htmlspecialchars($_POST['cName']); $phone = htmlspecialchars($_POST['cPhone']); $fax = htmlspecialchars($_POST['faxNumber']); $address = htmlspecialchars($_POST['companyAddress']); $city = htmlspecialchars($_POST['city']); $state = htmlspecialchars($_POST['state']); $zip = htmlspecialchars($_POST['zipCode']); $fedTaxId = htmlspecialchars($_POST['fedTaxId']); $oName = htmlspecialchars($_POST['ownersName']); $eCommerceManager = htmlspecialchars($_POST['eCommerceManager']); $email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['emailAddress']); $whatForm = htmlspecialchars($_POST['serviceForm']); //EDI variables $volume = htmlspecialchars($_POST['volumePlan']); $ediTerms = htmlspecialchars($_POST['ediTermsOfService']); $ediPayment = htmlspecialchars($_POST['paymentOptions']); //Glaxis Variables $dispatch = htmlspecialchars($_POST['lynxDispatch']); $liveDate = htmlspecialchars($_POST['liveDate']); $ppgSetup = htmlspecialchars($_POST['ppgOnlineOrdering']); $glaxisTerms = htmlspecialchars($_POST['glaxisTermsOfService']); $ediMsg = "Another customer has signed up for EDI.\n\nCompany Name: $cName\nPhone: $cPhone\nFax: $fax\nAddress: $address\nCity: $city\nState: $state\nZip: $zip\nFed Tax Id: $fedTaxId\nOwners Name:$oName\neCommerce Manager: $eCommerceManager\nEmail: $email\n\nVolume Plan: $volume\nAgree to Terms: $ediTerms\nEDI Payment Type: $ediPayment\n"; $glaxisMsg = "Another Customer has signed up for Glaxis.\n\nCompany Name: $cName\nPhone: $cPhone\nFax: $fax\nAddress: $address\nCity: $city\nState: $state\nZip: $zip\nFed Tax Id: $fedTaxId\nOwners Name:$oName\neCommerce Manager: $eCommerceManager\nEmail: $email\n\nPrevious Dispatch Number: $dispatch\nLive Date: $liveDate\nPPG Setup: $ppgSetup\nAgree to Terms: $glaxisTerms\n"; switch ($_POST['serviceForm']) { case 'EDI': echo 'EDI email sent!'; //mail ("myEmailAddress1@yahoo.com","EDI Service request form", "$ediMsg"); break; case 'Glaxis': echo 'Glaxis email sent!'; //mail("myEmailAddress2@yahoo.com@mainstreetcomp.com", "Glaxis Service request form", "$glaxisMsg"); break; case 'EDI and Glaxis': echo 'EDI and Glaxis email sent!'; //mail ("myEmailAddress1@yahoo.com", "EDI Service request form", "$ediMsg"); //mail("myEmailAddress2@yahoo.com", "Glaxis Service request form", "$glaxisMsg"); break; } //tell user that form has been submitted //and to check for confirmation echo '<p align="center">'."Your form has been submitted.

default: ?> </table> </form> </body> </html> <?php } } ?> now I run this, I choose a form, click send form, but nowhere do I see anything saying an email was sent. well that's weird, we expected otherwise. well if we never saw the debug echo message, that means mail() was never even called in the first place! let's trace back our steps to find out where the problem originates. well maybe something is wrong with the switch statement? maybe $_POST['serviceForm'] has no value? let's check. let's add an echo statement right before the place where $_POST['serviceForm'] is used echo 'value of serviceForm: ' . $_POST['serviceForm']; // debug switch ($_POST['serviceForm']) I run this, and I see that $_POST['serviceForm'] never equals 'EDI' or 'Glaxis'. Infact, its value is always just 'Select One'. Well we tracked down the first problem, it turns out that $_POST['serviceForm'] has a different value than we expected. That means we never know which form was chosen! See if you can figure out what can we do to tell php what form it's receiving. Possibly one way could be placing a hidden input field in each of the addon form, all having the same name, but a value that equals that of the addon form. then, when you need to determine the form, it should be the value of that hidden input field. Good luck!

    max_execution_time I understand is how long the script can run for until it is terminated. if the client loses connection or goes to another page then the script execution is terminated right there in my understanding
  6. machupicchu
    You most certainly can!
  7. machupicchu
    solved!
  8. machupicchu
    are you looking for something like ths: $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>"); } Search this forum or Google php email for more examples
  9. machupicchu
    do similar like you have here: <select name="serviceForm" onchange="document.form2.submit();"> this seems to work: <input type="submit" name="submit2" value="Send Form" onclick="addon.value = 'go!';"/> you can get to the addon value like this also: document.form2.addon.value, but it seems to be optional. make sure to do this for every submit button that you have, and this being the very first lines of your php: echo $_POST['addon']."!!!!!!"; //test the addon value like this, remove this when everything is working as it should if (isset($_POST['addon'])) { if ($_POST['addon'] == 'go!') { // proccess form, send mail, display thank you message exit; } } I'm glad I've helped you
  10. machupicchu
    onchange="document.form2.submit(); and onchange="document.forms['form2'].submit(); seem to do the same thing, the problem was this: <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Form" /> it seemed to have been interfering with the above, so notice I added a 2 to the name, <input type="submit" name="submit2" value="Send Form" /> to have this be name something other than submit, and voila, it works.
  11. machupicchu
    you could do it like this: in each add on form, create a hidden input: <input type="hidden" name="addon" value=""> then on top of your php code check if this exists if (isset($_POST['addon'])) { if ($_POST['addon'] == 'go!') { // proccess form, send mail, display thank you message exit; ) } // otherwise, just show the form ok so so far, we should be able to change the subforms, but not send the form. to send the form and not break the form selection in this setup, use javascript to change the value of addon to "go!" when submit button is clicked (onclick). hope this helps

  13. machupicchu
    yeah, to demonstrate \n: echo "Line\nBreak"; should output: Line Break (in source of course)
  14. machupicchu
    you should use an array for rank, and use a for loop to calculate how many 3's and 7's there are. $rank = array(3, 7, 7, 7); $rank[4] = 7; // user either way to assign values to the array // then to count 3's and 7's use a loop $size = sizeof($rank); $threes = 0; $sevens = 0; for ($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++) { if ($rank[$i] == 3) $threes++; // add 1 to $threes if ($rank[$i] == 7) $threes++; // add 1 to $sevens } echo "Threes = $threes and Sevens = $sevens";
  15. machupicchu
    also, next time you should post this in one of the SQL / Database Forums
