Please post the source code for apply.php using the coding (#) BBcode

IGCAssassin · August 16, 2008

im sorry do you know where that would be at

nrg_alpha · August 16, 2008

While I cannot help you.. I would make two suggestions.

a) Since you are new to PHP, this is perhaps biting off more than you can chew. I would suggest getting some basic books and work your way up. Sounds like you are trying to do backflips before learning how to walk so-to-speak.

b) it's regarded as bad practice to use <? ?> as your PHP tags. Servers may have the short open tags disabled.. otherwise, the shorthand php tags may get confused with XML tags. You should use <?php ?> instead.

Cheers,

NRG

Your form is sending off the variables that a user inputs to a file called apply.php. This file will handle organizing the values into a single message and sending them to your email. My guess is that the file either does not declare the $_POST variables correctly or does not exist (since you do not seem to know where it is).

Agreed.

A). If you need some help with the basics, I can probably help you out a little - Just add me on AIM or something.

B). Shorthand tags should never be used - even if your php config file is set up to read them. If you ever transfer the files over to another server that isn't configured to read it - it will spit all sorts of errors out at you and just display your php code as plain text.

Gighalen · August 16, 2008

Ok, there are errors all throughout that script - I don't even know where to begin.

I recommend going to http://www.w3schools.com and reading their little tutorial on PHP - it should teach you the basics of PHP in just under a few hours. Naturally, we cannot help you if you have absolutely no idea what you are doing - so come back when you at least have a basic understanding of what your script is trying to do and general idea of what the PHP syntax should look like.

IGCAssassin · August 16, 2008

thankyou for your time sorry to bother you guys, will work on it and try to figure it out.

nrg_alpha · August 16, 2008

thankyou for your time sorry to bother you guys, will work on it and try to figure it out.

Oh, you're not bothering us. I'm just suggesting taking on basics first prior to jumping straight into stuff like this.. That way, you'll have a much stronger understanding of the code, and thus be able to trouble shoot more effectively, is all.

Cheers,

NRG
