ninedoors Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I am getting a weird problem when I try to send an email through my contact form. I have my form action set to sendmail.php script which uses php mail function and then redirects the user to a success page. But I tested it and I keep getting a HTTP 404 error on my sendmail.php script. It is on the server I can see it. This is what my script looks like. <?php //get info from form $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $themessage = $_POST['message']; // multiple recipients $to = 'nrleigh@example.com'; // subject $subject = 'From website contact page'; // message $message = $themessage; // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; // Additional headers $headers .= 'To: Mike <' . $to . '>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>' . "\r\n"; // Mail it mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); header("Location: '/index.php'"); ?> No when I add the html tags and stuff to it I get an error saying "can't modify headers on line 36 already sent on line 9". So when i get this error this is what my script looks like: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Barrie Mens Hockey League</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <?php //line 9 //get info from form $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $themessage = $_POST['message']; // multiple recipients $to = 'nrleigh@example.com'; // subject $subject = 'From website contact page'; // message $message = $themessage; // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; // Additional headers $headers .= 'To: Mike <' . $to . '>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>' . "\r\n"; // Mail it mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); header("Location: '/index.php'"); //line 36 ?> </body> </html> Any thoughts on a solution or what the problem is. I want to know why the server can't find the script when I don't have the html tags and stuff in it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanWhitehouse Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 header's have to be sent before any HTML, and if it is a 404 error, then the filename you are looking for is either wrong or not there. Check whether it is in the same folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmania1 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 header("Location: index.php"); //line 36 remove the single quotes and forwards slash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
