BASIC PHP HELP!!!

theshirey · October 13, 2008

<?php

$to="test@test.com";

$subject="HELP";

$message=" Example: " . $_POST['txthelp'] . " ";

mail($to, $subject,$message);

?>

Whenever I try to embed multiple $_POST inside the message, it never sends. What am I doing wrong?

I actually need to see the form.

my goodness, lets use the code tags!

trq · October 14, 2008

Can we see the actual php thats giving you grief?

kenrbnsn · October 14, 2008

If PHP is going to receive values from a form, each <input> needs a name attribute, otherwise you will get nothing. Your <input> tags do not have name attributes.

Ken

Agreed, the id you have given the input is generally only used for java-script purposes.

theshirey · October 14, 2008

Okay, so i have the name attribute added and after clicking submit, I get the message that said it was successful but I get no email... any suggestions? I'm quite new to PHP, but I figured everyone could tell.

Lamez · October 14, 2008

did your really use test@test.com as your email? Also it could be something with the mail server.

theshirey · October 14, 2008

No I didn't really use test@test.com . I put in my email.

I tried it before with this:

<?php

$to="matt@qwerty.com";

$subject="Test";

$message="This is a test.";

mail($to,$subject,$message);

?>

This worked and sent me a test email. What could I possibly be doing wrong with my detailed email?

trq · October 14, 2008

Can wee see your actual code? between

tags please.

theshirey · October 14, 2008

i posted a few posts back.

dropfaith · October 14, 2008

what happens if you echo the

$body out do you get results?

any errors happening when you test this?

theshirey · October 14, 2008

Okay, so I wasn't paying attention and I switched two letter in my email address. Hence why I wasn't getting the email. Oops... How can I bold, Italicize, etc. In the PHP script to email. Not sure if it could even be done but just wanted to check. Also, I have multiple CheckBoxes on my site. Whenever I use them, it shows them as "on" or "off" when referencing them for the email. Can I change that to maybe "yes" or "no"???

dropfaith · October 14, 2008

<input id="chkbxLanguageAgree" type="checkbox" value="yes" />just add value like so

theshirey · October 14, 2008

Thank you sooo much... Now I'm having issues whenever I'm echoing.

this is what i have for my echo.


if(mail($to,$subject,&body))
{
    echo("<p><div align="center"><input type="submit" name="btnPayNow" value="Make Full Payment"  id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_gdPaymentButton_ctl02_GraphicButton" style="Color:Transparent;font-size:14Px;font-family:Times New Roman,Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;font-style:;background-color:Red" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://paysimple.biz/Customer/LoginCustomer.aspx?FID=595&Digest=vywTGI+IsJpFs5n1MX2f0w&amt=216.49');return false;"/>   <input type="submit" name="btnPayNow" value="Payment Installments"  id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_gdPaymentButton_ctl02_GraphicButton" style="Color:Transparent;font-size:14Px;font-family:Times New Roman,Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;font-style:;background-color:Red" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://paysimple.biz/Customer/LoginCustomer.aspx?FID=595&Digest=vywTGI+IsJpFs5n1MX2f0w&amt=108.25');return false;"/></div></p>");
}
else{
  echo("Your registration failed.  Please click the back button and try again.");
}

kenrbnsn · October 14, 2008

You have unescaped double quotes inside a string delimited by double quotes. Either escape them with a backslash or surround your string in single quotes and escape the single quotes.

I prefer the later, since there are less single quotes in the string

<?php
if(mail($to,$subject,&body))
{
    echo '<p><div align="center"><input type="submit" name="btnPayNow" value="Make Full Payment"  id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_gdPaymentButton_ctl02_GraphicButton" style="Color:Transparent;font-size:14Px;font-family:Times New Roman,Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;font-style:;background-color:Red" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://paysimple.biz/Customer/LoginCustomer.aspx?FID=595&Digest=vywTGI+IsJpFs5n1MX2f0w&amt=216.49');return false;"/>   <input type="submit" name="btnPayNow" value="Payment Installments"  id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_gdPaymentButton_ctl02_GraphicButton" style="Color:Transparent;font-size:14Px;font-family:Times New Roman,Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;font-style:;background-color:Red" onclick="javascript:window.open(\'https://paysimple.biz/Customer/LoginCustomer.aspx?FID=595&Digest=vywTGI+IsJpFs5n1MX2f0w&amt=108.25\');return false;"/></div></p>';
}
else{
  echo "Your registration failed.  Please click the back button and try again.";
}?>

BTW, you don't need the to surround the string you're echoing with parenthesis.

Ken

theshirey · October 15, 2008

Even after fixing the previous code my page is not working. Whenever i take everything out of the echo ""; and only put echo "$body"; everything in the body of the email sends. What am I doing wrong?

iversonm · October 15, 2008

hey, problem could be within what your posting, depending on the code which i quickly looked at. if someone posts a " or ' it will mess everything up

you should clean it up

use addslashes(), maybe other things

these experts will tell you what to use.

theshirey · October 15, 2008

The data that I'm collecting is only going to be emailed. What I'm trying to show in the echo is some text if the email was successful or not. If it was i want to tell them what they need to do next and if it wasn't then tell them to try submiting it again.

Any ideas?
