codieB Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hi, This is what I've got---- $Name = "name"; //senders name $email = "name@name.com"; //senders e-mail adress $recipient = $_REQUEST['email']; //recipient $reply = "Congratulations! Video access for " .$_POST['fname']." ".$_POST['lname'].""; $mail_body = "content""; All of it is working EXCEPT the reply part. It should be pulling fname and lname rom input fields. Does anyone know what to do? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136285-reply-not-working-need-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

gevans Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Have you looked at the mail() function? The third argument it takes is additional headers. I think what you want is this; mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body."\n\n".$reply, $headers); //mail command Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136285-reply-not-working-need-help/#findComment-710993 Share on other sites More sharing options...

codieB Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 What this code does is send an automatic email to the email that is indicated in the form field. I also included fname and lname fields that are being pulled to personalize the email. So, without divulging entire contents of email, the recipient gets and email that offers a link to a video archive, and BCC's me at the same time. That way, I can see who is accessing the archive. In order to also get their names, I would like the emails to begin with "Dear ," or something to that affect. Does this help?

Maq Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 1) Why do you use REQUEST for some fields and POST for others? You should stay consistent. 2) Echo out your POSTS (fname, lname); 3) Add this at the top of your script, right after the first <?php tag ini_set ("display_errors", "1"); error_reporting(E_ALL); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136285-reply-not-working-need-help/#findComment-711027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
