Total noob - please help!

[olicorse]

Hi,

 

I've literally just started learning PHP this weekend... I've made a simple mail form for a website but for some reason when the fields are filled out, the email it sends swaps the "email" field with the "phone" field.

 

I've looked over and over and i'm 100% sure that text boxes it is posting the info from are called the correct names. Could someone take a look at the code and tell me if you can see what i'm doing wrong? It's driving me crazy and it's literally the final thing I need to sort out before the site is ready!

 

Also, I copied the first bit from another forum because I was getting backslashes whenever I typed apostrophes or speech marks. Might that have made a difference? I've tried deleting the top bit of code and re-uploading it but it still shows the Email/Phone info the wrong way round.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

<?php

 

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

function stripslashes_deep($value)

{

$value = is_array($value) ?

array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) :

stripslashes($value);

 

return $value;

}

 

$_POST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_POST);

$_GET = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_GET);

$_COOKIE = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_COOKIE);

$_REQUEST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_REQUEST);

}

 

$name = $_POST['name'];

$subject = $_POST['subject'];

$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$text = $_POST['text'];

$enquiry = "Name: " . $name ;

$enquiry .= "\n\nPhone: " . $telephone;

$enquiry .= "\n\nEnquiry: " .$text;

 

mail('oli@hotmail.com', $subject, $enquiry, 'From:' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>');

 

header('Location:contactthanks.html');

 

?>

Your form is probably messed up.

How about your HTML code?

Yah, post your form.

Ok, this is how much of a noob I am...

 

I just tried it again and it's working ok now! I'm new to web design in general, so does it take time for a site to change if you upload new pages? The name's of the "telephone" and "email" box were the wrong way round before, but I changed them ages ago and still had the same problem. Does it just take a while for the changes to take effect sometimes?

It is instant, what can happen is the browser can cache a page, hold ctrl and press F5 to refresh the page to the new copy. This is generally a problem in IE, but that ctrl+F5 refresh generally does the trick.

Your browser will cache html pages. To make sure you're viewing current version do Ctrl+F5 to refresh cache (I also do some small visible notes that vary from version to version, so that I just see the new version's been loaded)
