Form answer fields show up empty when e-mailed

MOWPHOENIX · January 26, 2009

Hello, I need help to find the cause of the answer fields not showing up after this clan recruitment form has been submitted. The only thing that shows up after the form has been filled out is the questions.. Everything else works great . Been pulling out my hair trying to find the cause. Hope someone can see what I have not been able to.

You'll need to post the contents of /forums/modules/apply.php for anyone to give a good answer.

Here is the apply.php that it calls to on submitt.

Sorry was not sure to include this part or not on the first post :-[

The problem is this script was written for use with register globals turn on and the server you are using has them turned off. Turing them on is very dangerous from a security stand point. You should replace them with the provide post usage.

Replace all variables that look like this $FirstName with one that look like this $_POST['FirstName']

That should fix it and make it a little more secure.

I hope that this is what you had in mind,, if not I will go back to the drawing board lol.

<?
$EmailTo = "recruitment@masterofwar.net";
$Subject = "Recruitment Form Request from $_POST['FirstName'] \n";
$Name = "$_POST['FirstName'] \n";
$App = "RealName: $_POST['RealName'] \n GamerName: $_POST['GamerName'] \n 
Age: $_POST['Age'] \n 
Location: $_POST['Location'] \n 
EmailAddress: $_POST['EmailAddress'] \n 
Hours spent online per week: $_POST['Hours'] \n 
Other Clans: $_POST['Clans'] \n 
Will you be able to attend practices? $_POST['practices'] \n 
Your favorite weapon?: $_POST['weapon'] \n 
Your favorite vehicle: $_POST['vehicle'] \n 
About yourself: $_POST['about_you'] \n 
Would you help pay for a server?: $_POST['pay'] \n 
Where did you hear about -=M.O.W=-?: $_POST['where'] \n 
whyjoin -=M.O.W=-: $_POST['whyjoin'] \n 
IP Address: $_POST['REMOTE_ADDR'] mail($EmailTo,$Subject,$App,"From: $_POST['emailaddress'] \n");
?>
