callmecheez Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hey guys, really sorry to ask as I'm sure its an irritatingly frequent query but I'm struggling with a feedback form. I want a feedback form that'll have 4 or 5 fields, one to be text area; and have all info emailed to an address. I've got an index.html: 1. <form method="post" action="sendmail.php"> 2. Name: <input name="name" type="text" /> <br /> 3. Email Address: <input name="email" type="text" /><br /> 4. ISS Username (if known): <input name="username" type="text" /><br /> 5. Telephone Number: <input name="phone" type="text" /><br /> 6. Message:<br /> 7. <textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"> 8. </textarea><br /> 9. <input type="submit" /> 10. </form> and sendmail.php: 1. <?php 2. $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; 3. $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ; 4. $username = $_REQUEST['username'] ; 5. $phone = $_REQUEST['phone'] ; 6. $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; 7. 8. mail( "callmecheez@gmail.com", "New helpdesk email", 9. "From: $name <$email>" ); 10. "$message\nCustomer Username:$username\n". 11. "$message\nCustomer Contact Number:$phone\n". 12. "$message\nDescription: $message\n". 13. 14. header( "Location: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/iss/contact_test/thankyou.html" ); 15. ?> Been stuck with this all day, and just not knowledgeable enough to figure it out. Any help gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmecheez Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Many thanks jonjava, really appreciate the reponse. As a test I filled out my fields with "email filed" "username field" etc; as a test as I got the following email: Body Customer Username:Username field Customer Contact Number:phone number Description: Body Customer Username:Username field Customer Contact Number:phone number I can't spot what it is that's not quite right. .

callmecheez Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Body Customer Username:Username field Customer Contact Number:phone number Description: Body Customer Username:Username field Customer Contact Number:phone number Body appears at the top, the username, then phone number. Then description <body> again, then username again, then phone number again. . Info is repeated. .? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I split your last post into a new thread and moved it to html help forum. If you have more than one question, make a new thread for it, especially when it's an unrelated question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 As far as it printing twice: can you repost your current php code since I'm sure you've fiddled with it by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
