[wero86]

Hi guys am new to php script and need to get the information entered into my form sent to me via email. the froms code is as follows:

 

<form action="Test/sendinfo.php" name="Contact" id="Contact">

              <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4">

                <tr>

                  <td width="14%" align="right" valign="top">Name:</td>

                  <td width="86%" colspan="2" valign="top"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="30" /></td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                  <td width="14%" align="right" valign="top">Email:</td>

                  <td colspan="2" valign="top"><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30" /></td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                  <td align="right" valign="top">Tel:</td>

                  <td colspan="2" valign="top"><input name="tel" type="text" id="tel" size="30" /></td>

                </tr>

                  <td width="14%" align="right" valign="top">Subject:</td>

                  <td colspan="2" valign="top"><input name="subject" type="text" id="subject" size="30" /></td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                  <td valign="top" align="right" width="14%">Message:</td>

                  <td colspan="2" valign="top"><textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="5" id="message"></textarea></td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                  <td width="14%" align="right"> </td>

                  <td colspan="2"><input name="Submit" type="submit" onclick="MM_validateForm('name','','R','email','','RisEmail','tel','','RisNum','message','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" value="Send" />

                  <input name="Clear" type="reset" id="Clear" value="Clear" /></td>

                </tr>

              </table>

            </form>

 

I did have an attempt after looking at several examples and came up with the following however it doesnt work :-(

 

<?php

$email_to = "...........@.....................co.uk";

$name = $_POST["name"];

$email_from = $_POST["email"];

$message = $_POST["message"];

$email_subject = "Feedback from website";

$headers =

"From: $email_from .\n";

"Reply-To: $email_from .\n";

$message = "Name: ". $name . "\r\nMessage: " . $message;

ini_set("sendmail_from", $email_from);

$sent = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $message, $headers, "-f" .$email_from);

if ($sent)

{

header("Location: http://www..................................co.uk/thankyou.html");

} else {

echo "There has been an error sending your comments. Please try later.";

}

?>

 

i do want to try and get all the info but for my first attempt i just tried to get the name email and message but if any1 can help me get all of it that would be great :-)

So do you receive the error message ("There has been an error sending your comments. Please try later")?  Or do you get redirected, but receive no email/an incorrect email? Or is there some other problem?

 

Also, in future wrap your code in

tags - it helps us read what you've posted

[ignace]

$headers =

"From: $email_from .\n";

"Reply-To: $email_from .\n";

 

is wrong and should be:

 

$headers =

"From: $email_from\n".

"Reply-To: $email_from\n";

 

--------------------------------------

 

ini_set("sendmail_from", $email_from);

 

why set the from twice?

 

--------------------------------------

 

i would really encourage adding some anti-spam method and some validation on everything what you get from $_POST

 

--------------------------------------

 

P.S. use ' (single quote) instead of " (double quote) only use double if you need to parse something in the string like:

 

$headers =

"From: $email_from\n".

"Reply-To: $email_from\n";

 

otherwise use ' (single quote)

Which page cannot be displayed, sendinfo.php or thankyou.html?

<?php
$email_to = "...........@.....................co.uk";
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email_from = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$email_subject = "Feedback from website";
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_from \r\n";
$message = "Name: ". $name . "\r\nMessage: " . $message;

// ini_set("sendmail_from", $email_from); // not sure if this is needed, but I do not think so (unless your host says different).
$sent = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $message, $headers, "-f" .$email_from);

if ($sent) {
header("Location: http://www..................................co.uk/thankyou.html");
}else {
echo "There has been an error sending your comments. Please try later.";
}
?>

 

For the headers (if on linux) you need to use \r\n Give that a try and see what comes of it. Also, the email being sent to may be the issue, as Yahoo, Hotmail and AOL block most mail coming from php servers if the server ip does not have a mail MX record, so that could be your problem.
