PHP Form is not sending all fields

[jamosdeyamos]

I thought I was doing this correctly.  I'm actually starting to get what all the script is saying, but this PHP form isn't sending all the fields to my email, only "shows" and "email".

 

I have no idea what's happening.

 

here's the form in my page...

 

<form method="post" action="maillist.php"><font bgcolor="C1C1C1" size="1" color="#ffffff" face="helvetica">Email: <input name="email" type="text"><br>

<br>What information would you like to recieve?<br>

Shows? <input value="yes" name="shows" type="checkbox"> Contests? <input value="yes" name="contests" type="checkbox"><br>

<br><input value="Join Now!" type="submit"></form>

 

and here's maillist.php...

 

<?php

$to = "everett.james@gmail.com";

$subject = "Add to mailing list...";

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

$shows = $_REQUEST['shows'] ;

$contests = $_REQUEST['contests'] ;

$sent = mail("$to", "$subject", "Add: $email","Info on Shows?: $shows", "Info $contests") ;

if($sent)

{print "Thanks for joining!  You'll be sent a message soon about upcoming shows!"; }

else

{print "We encountered an error submitting your request"; }

?>

 

 

Can anyone help?  At one point I tried to add more form elements and have them submit but I got a line in my error page saying the mail () function could only contain 5 different things in it.  Wassa happenin???

 

Thanks!

use

 

$_POST

 

Instead of

 

$_REQUEST

no dice, still doing the same thing.  Thanks though!

Try this:

$message = "Add: $email\nInfo on shows?: $shows\nInfo: $contests";
$sent = mail("$to", "$subject", "$message");

That makes sense with something else I had read, so thanks!  You're probably right but not it seems something else went wrong...  I got this message when hitting submit:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/jeca/public_html/maillist.php on line 5

 

This is what my maillist.php looks like now:

 

<?php

$to = "everett.james@gmail.com";

$subject = "Add to mailing list...";

$message = "Add: $email\nInfo on shows?: $shows\nInfo on contests?: $contests"

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

$shows = $_REQUEST['shows'] ;

$contests = $_REQUEST['contests'] ;

$sent = mail("$to", "$subject", "$message");

if($sent)

{print "Thanks for joining!  You'll be sent a message soon about upcoming shows!"; }

else

{print "We encountered an error submitting your request"; }

?>

 

what did I mess up now?

you're missing a semi colon after the $message var
