236design Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi, Brand new here and a print designer by nature so hopefully that'll give you some idea of the type you're dealing with here. Anyway, I designed a site and created a form in Dreamweaver and followed a tutorial to do the PHP end of the form. The problem is when the form is filled out and sent, the recipient of the email gets this: <br><hr><br> Name: <br> Company: <br> Phone: <br> Services Required: <br> I'm assuming it's probably not a difficult fix but I'm just lost. If needed I could dump in all the PHP so you could take a look but any help you could give would be great. Thanks in advance. -236design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, they get an email with no form data and HTML codes as shown above? If so, yes, post the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
236design Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Below is the code. I included it all which I probably didn't need to do but thank you so much for at least taking a look. Again, I know nothing about code and just followed a tutorial. Oh, and your assumption about what's in the email is correct. <?php /* Name and Company Variables */ $emailSubject = 'From Website'; $webMaster = 'teri.king@tskaccounting.com'; /* Gathering Data Variables */ $namefield = $_POST['name']; $companyfield = $_POST['company']; $phonefield = $_POST['phone']; $servicesfield = $_POST['services']; $body = <<<EOD <br><hr><br> Name: $name <br> Company: $company <br> Phone: $phone <br> Services Required: $services <br> EOD; $headers = "From: $name\r\r"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n"; $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers); /* Results rendered as HTML */ $theResults = <<<EOD <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; background-image: url(images/background.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } #apDiv1 { position:absolute; left:299px; top:216px; width:496px; height:436px; z-index:1; } .style1 { font-size: 16px } #apDiv2 { position:absolute; left:28px; top:732px; width:800px; height:45px; z-index:2; } .style2 {font-size: 12px} a:link { color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } #apDiv3 { position:absolute; left:294px; top:205px; width:506px; height:35px; z-index:3; } --> </style></head> <body> <div id="apDiv2"> <div align="center"><span class="style2"><strong>TSK Accounting & Consulting Services</strong><br /> teri.king@tskaccounting.com • 215-588-6658<br /> site designed & developed by <a href="http://www.236design.com"><strong>236design</strong></a></span><br /> </div> </div> <div id="apDiv3"> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6"> <tr> <td><div align="right"> <label for="name">Name:</label> </div></td> <td><div align="left"> <input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="30" maxlength="90" /> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div align="right"> <label for="company">Company:</label> </div></td> <td><div align="left"> <input name="company" type="text" id="company" size="30" maxlength="90" /> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div align="right"> <label for="phone">Phone:</label> </div></td> <td><div align="left"> <input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" size="30" maxlength="12" /> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div align="right"> <label for="services">Services Required:</label> </div></td> <td><div align="left"> <textarea name="services" id="services" cols="26" rows="5"></textarea> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div align="right"> <label for="send"></label> <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" /> </div></td> <td><div align="left"> <label for="reset"></label> <input type="reset" name="reset" id="reset" value="Reset" /> </div></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> <map name="Map" id="Map"><area shape="rect" coords="484,78,542,115" href="index.html" /> <area shape="rect" coords="598,77,684,116" href="services.html" /> </map> </body> </html> EOD; echo "$theResults"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 You probably have to set a header in order for the email to parse the HTML, but for the missing variables, you need to surround them in quotes: $body = <<<EOD <br><hr><br> Name: "$name" <br> Company: "$company" <br> Phone: "$phone" <br> Services Required: "$services" <br> EOD; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
236design Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thank you so much and it appears to work with those changes. One final question. On the contact page after the form is sent, it does not reset (the info remains). Just wondering if this is a simple fix. I designed a page to include a Message Sent 'message' and I'd love for that to come up but just having the form reset would be enough for me. Again, than you so much for your help.
