The problem is that I am having a hard time to make the email that it sends me to be "pretty" with html code using a table and stuff to make it layout like I like it. The code that I am using is as follows. How can I add html to it and it have a custom layout like I would like. If anyone can help me that would be totally awesome!!!

 

<?php
$Checked = false;  
  if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $pickupdate = $_POST['pickupdate'];
    $pickuptime = $_POST['pickuptime'];
    $AMPM = $_POST['AMPM'];
    $lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
    $firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $cellphone = $_POST['cellphone'];
    $pickuplocation = $_POST['pickuplocation'];
    $destination = $_POST['destination'];

    $flightnumber = $_POST['flightnumber'];
    $orderedbyname = $_POST['orderedbyname'];
    $orderedbynumber = $_POST['orderedbynumber'];

if ( !empty($pickupdate) && 
	 !empty($pickuptime) &&

	 !empty($orderedbyname) &&
	 !empty($orderedbynumber) &&
         !empty($company)) {

    if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
         $to = "XXX";
         $subject = "XXX";
         $pickupdate_field = $_POST['pickupdate'];
         $pickuptime_field = $_POST['pickuptime'];
         $AMPM_field = $_POST['AMPM'];
         $lastname_field = $_POST['lastname'];

I'm assuming you have some PHP knowledge so I have just done a quick example on how to send emails with HTML in them.

 

I haven't tested it, so if doesn't work, I'll take another look later :).

 

<?php
// Load and grab the contents of the email template and place them in to the $strData variable.
$strEmail = "email.html";
$objFile = fopen($strEmail, 'rb');
$strData = fread($objFile, filesize($strEmail));
fclose($objFile);

// Make sure the email will be sent as HTML.
$strHeaders = "From: " . $email_field . "\r\n";
$strHeaders.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";

// Replace the values in the variable holding the email template ($strData).
$strBody = str_replace("[LNAME]", "Test", $strBody);
$strBody = str_replace("[FNAME]", "First", $strBody);
$strBody = str_replace("[email]", "test@test.com", $strBody);
// etc..

// Send the email
mail( $email, "Test", $strBody, $strHeaders );

// This will work, however here is how I would handle the email template.
// Create an array which holds the values that need changing with the value to change it too.

$arrBody["LNAME"] = "Test";
$arrBody["FNAME"] = "First";
$arrBody["EMAIL"] = "test@test.com";

        // Loop through the array changing the values in the same way we did before.
foreach($arrBody as $strKey => $strVal)
{
	$strBody = str_replace("[".strtoupper($strKey)."]", $strVal, $strBody);
}

// It will get exactly the same results, but it just looks a lot nicer .
?>

 

HTML:

<!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>
</head>

<body>
[LNAME]<br />
[FNAME]<br />
[email]<br />

</body>
</html>

I really don't know much about PHP. I guess what I don't understand with what you replied is how I would get the variables like $pickuptime or $pickupdate, etc. How does the html email grab those variables? Do I use the script you wrote and put it in the existing one I have or is this separate. This is kind of hard to explain I guess, maybe confusing myself as well!... Does this make any sense? Thanks for your help and patience!

Oh ok, not a problem :)

 

You'll be able to use my script below, I've made the modifications for you :).

 

$to = "XXX";
$subject = "XXX";

$strEmail = "email.html";
$objFile = fopen($strEmail, 'rb');
$strData = fread($objFile, filesize($strEmail));
fclose($objFile);

$strHeaders = "From: \r\n";
$strHeaders.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";

$arrBody["LNAME"] = $_POST['lastname'];
$arrBody["FNAME"] = $_POST['firstname'];
$arrBody["EMAIL"] = $_POST['email'];
$arrBody["PUDATE"] = $_POST['pickupdate'];
$arrBody["PUTIME"] = $_POST['AMPM'];
$arrBody["AMPM"] = $_POST['AMPM'];
$arrBody["CELL"] = $_POST['cellphone'];
$arrBody["PULOCATION"] = $_POST['pickuplocation'];
$arrBody["DESTINATION"] = $_POST['destination'];
$arrBody["AIRLINE"] = $_POST['airline'];
$arrBody["FLIGHTNO"] = $_POST['flightnumber'];
$arrBody["ORDEREDBY"] = $_POST['orderedbyname'];
$arrBody["ORDEREDBYNO"] = $_POST['orderedbynumber'];
$arrBody["COMPANY"] = $_POST['company'];
$arrBody["COMMENTS"] = $_POST['comments'];

foreach($arrBody as $strKey => $strVal)
{
$strBody = str_replace("[".strtoupper($strKey)."]", $strVal, $strBody);
}

mail( $to, $subject, $strBody, $strHeaders );

 

The html email template. It has all of the information the current email has and is set out the same way, you just need to change it to the way you want it to be now.

<!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>
</head>

<body>
Last Name: [LNAME]<br />
First Name: [FNAME]<br />
Email: [email]<br />
Pick-Up Date: [PUDATE]<br />
Pick-Up Time: [PUTIME]<br />
AM/PM: [AMPM]<br />
Cell Phone: [CELL]<br />
Pick-Up Location: [PULOCATION]<br />
Destination: [DESTINATION]<br />
Airline: [AIRLINE]<br />
Flight Number: [FLIGHTNO]<br />
Ordered By Name: [ORDEREDBY]<br />
Ordered By Number: [ORDEREDBYNO]<br />
Company: [COMPANY]<br />
Comments: [COMMENTS]<br />
</body>
</html>

 

Hope this helps. :)

Wow! Thank you so much for your help. When I fill out the fields of the for and click submit I get an email but the email is empty... Is this the right code now? 

<?php
$Checked = false;  
  if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $pickupdate = $_POST['pickupdate'];
    $pickuptime = $_POST['pickuptime'];
    $AMPM = $_POST['AMPM'];
    $lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
    $firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $cellphone = $_POST['cellphone'];
    $pickuplocation = $_POST['pickuplocation'];
    $destination = $_POST['destination'];
    $airline = $_POST['airline'];
    $flightnumber = $_POST['flightnumber'];
    $orderedbyname = $_POST['orderedbyname'];
    $orderedbynumber = $_POST['orderedbynumber'];
    $company = $_POST['company'];
if ( !empty($pickupdate) && 
	 !empty($pickuptime) &&
         !empty($AMPM) &&
         !empty($lastname) &&
         !empty($firstname) &&
	 !empty($email) && 
         !empty($cellphone) &&
         !empty($pickuplocation) &&
         !empty($destination) &&
         !empty($airline) &&
	 !empty($flightnumber) &&
	 !empty($orderedbyname) &&
	 !empty($orderedbynumber) &&
         !empty($company)) {

    if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "whatever@yahoo.com";
$subject = "XXX";

$strEmail = "email.html";
$objFile = fopen($strEmail, 'rb');
$strData = fread($objFile, filesize($strEmail));
fclose($objFile);

$strHeaders = "From: \r\n";
$strHeaders.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";

$arrBody["LNAME"] = $_POST['lastname'];
$arrBody["FNAME"] = $_POST['firstname'];
$arrBody["EMAIL"] = $_POST['email'];
$arrBody["PUDATE"] = $_POST['pickupdate'];
$arrBody["PUTIME"] = $_POST['pickuptime'];
$arrBody["AMPM"] = $_POST['AMPM'];
$arrBody["CELL"] = $_POST['cellphone'];
$arrBody["PULOCATION"] = $_POST['pickuplocation'];
$arrBody["DESTINATION"] = $_POST['destination'];
$arrBody["AIRLINE"] = $_POST['airline'];
$arrBody["FLIGHTNO"] = $_POST['flightnumber'];
$arrBody["ORDEREDBY"] = $_POST['orderedbyname'];
$arrBody["ORDEREDBYNO"] = $_POST['orderedbynumber'];
$arrBody["COMPANY"] = $_POST['company'];
$arrBody["COMMENTS"] = $_POST['comments'];

foreach($arrBody as $strKey => $strVal)
{
   $strBody = str_replace("[".strtoupper($strKey)."]", $strVal, $strBody);
}
$Checked = true;//Checked
        mail($to, $subject, $headers, "From:$email_field");
         } else {
        echo "blarg!";
  }
  }
    else { $error = true; }
  }
?>

 

Thank you very much for helping me with this!!! I just used the email template that you posted. The email.html file is in the root of where the form.php file is that has the code. Is this all correct? Thanks

All you need to do is change the following and it should (fingers crossed) work.

$strHeaders = "From: \r\n";

to

$strHeaders = "From: $email_field\r\n";

 

And also.

mail($to, $subject, $headers, "From:$email_field");

to

mail($to, $subject, $strBody, $headers);

 

You should also make sure that you have read access to the html email template on the server.
