Simple POST problem in inet explorer

rrrrr · December 1, 2008

Hi everyone,

im not really a php-programmer, so please excuse any stupid question.

I made a order form posting to a HTTP_POST_VARS and then to a mail (...) function,

the mail is sent out if i use FF and Safari, but if i use Inet Explorer, nothing happens when clicking the Send-Button.

Has anyone an idea what the problem could be?

Any help appreciated...

use $_POST instead of HTTP_POST_VARS

Sounds like a problem with your html (or any other client side script) The browser wouldn't affect php (server-side) script

If you are using an image for a submit button, read this - http://us2.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.form-image

To get specific help with what your code is doing, we would need to see your form and form processing code. 101 different people could have written the first post in this thread and there could be different problem in each of their code giving the same symptoms.

HEy, sorry, i was offline, so i couldnt reply. Thanks for your hints, ill try to post the code here. I dont use an image button to submit..the strange thing is, with Firefox there are not probs at all, just Explorer doesnt do what i want.

The html simply does this:

<form method="post" action="thanks.php">

which he gets from several form fields.

Later then it should get sent with

<input type="submit" value=" Order! ">

The thanks.php then does this:

variables = xyz...;

while(list($email,$value)=each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$message.="$email: $value\n\n\n";
}


mail($admin,$subject,$message,"From: xyz");
mail($client,$ordersubject,$clientmessage,"From: xyz");

Now all that works...i just cant explain why Inet-Explorer doesnt even jump to thanks.php after clicking the submit button.

Any help appreciated...let me know when i should post the complete page code..

<?php

$message = NULL;

while(list($email,$value)=each($_POST)) {
$message.="$email: $value\n\n\n";
}


mail($admin,$subject,$message,"From: xyz");
mail($client,$ordersubject,$clientmessage,"From: xyz");
?>

That might be it?? Shouldn't be the reason a broiwser has a problem with it but give it a try

$HTTP_POST_VAR has been discontinued

If your form works in one browser and not another, it is probably due to invalid HTML and you would need to post your form to get any specific help with what is wrong with it.

Opps, someone already told you those things -
