[SOLVED] Php email form help

[artweb]

I have a email form that lets people order products from a company.

When the email come in it has every product that's on the form in the email. I want to have just the product the customer orders show in the email. How do I control this with the $subject. I hope this make sense.

You just pass on the product Id in the form. Its hard to say more without knowing your site structure.

[artweb]

You just pass on the product Id in the form.? What do you mean?

[artweb]

The customer come to my form, and lets say they only fill out the city and state. Then when I get the email it says the following:

 

Company Name:

Address:

City:somewhere

State:nowhere

Zip:

Contact Person:

Phone:

Fax:

Email:

Question:

 

I want the email to only have this: Not all the other category that they left blank.

 

City:somewhere

State:nowhere

 

 

This is what my code looks like.

 

<?php

 

$subject ="order form";

}

$message="

Company Name: $companyname,

               

Address: $address,

City: $city,

State: $state,

Zip: $zip,

Contact Person: $contact_person,

Phone: $phone,

Fax: $fax,

Email: $email,

Question: $question,;

 

$mail_from="$email";

$header="from: $companyname <$email>";

$to ='';

$done=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

?>

The body of your message is being defined by the $message tag

 

$message="
Company Name: $companyname,
                 
Address: $address,
City: $city,
State: $state,
Zip: $zip,
Contact Person: $contact_person,
Phone: $phone,
Fax: $fax,
Email: $email,
Question: $question,;

 

If you did not want to include particulars you'd have to do some testing, for example if zip is blank then message is bla bla which doesn't include zip.  This would result in quite a few if statements though.

[artweb]

Can you show me a if statement that might work?

[ldougherty]

replace the $message aspect in your code with this..

 

if ($companyname) $message = $message . 'Company Name:' . $companyname . '<br>';
if ($address) $message = $message . 'Address:' . $address . '<br>';
if ($city) $message = $message . 'City:' . $city . '<br>';
if ($state) $message = $message . 'State:' . $state . '<br>';
if ($zip) $message = $message . 'Zip:' . $zip . '<br>';
if ($contact_person) $message = $message . 'Contact Person:' . $contact_person . '<br>';
if ($phone) $message = $message . 'Phone:' . $phone . '<br>';
if ($fax) $message = $message . 'Fax:' . $fax . '<br>';
if ($email) $message = $message . 'Email:' . $email . '<br>';
if ($question) $message = $message . 'Question:' . $question . '<br>';

 

That will build the $message variable depending on if the individual variables are set.

I try replacing the code and I got the same email with all the category. Not just the ones I filled in.

[ldougherty]

Let me see the full code you have in place now.

[artweb]

There my php code now.

<?php

 

$subject ="order form";

 

$message="

if ($companyname) $message = $message . 'Company Name:' . $companyname . '<br>';

if ($address) $message = $message . 'Address:' . $address . '<br>';

if ($city) $message = $message . 'City:' . $city . '<br>';

if ($state) $message = $message . 'State:' . $state . '<br>';

if ($zip) $message = $message . 'Zip:' . $zip . '<br>';

if ($contact_person) $message = $message . 'Contact Person:' . $contact_person . '<br>';

if ($phone) $message = $message . 'Phone:' . $phone . '<br>';

if ($fax) $message = $message . 'Fax:' . $fax . '<br>';

if ($email) $message = $message . 'Email:' . $email . '<br>';

if ($question) $message = $message . 'Question:' . $question . '<br>';

";

 

 

 

 

 

$mail_from="$email";

$header="from: $companyname <$email>";

$to ='';

$done=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

 

?>

 

 

 

This is what the email looks like. You can see that the Zip and The Email have been left blank but they still show in the email. I want them to be left out of the email when they have not been filled in.

 

if (new)  =  . 'Company Name:' . new . '<br>';

if (dsf)  =  . 'Address:' . dsf . '<br>';

if (adsf)  =  . 'City:' . adsf . '<br>';

if (adsf)  =  . 'State:' . adsf . '<br>';

if ()  =  . 'Zip:' .  . '<br>';

if (fds)  =  . 'Contact Person:' . fds . '<br>';

if (sdfa)  =  . 'Phone:' . sdfa . '<br>';

if (sdf)  =  . 'Fax:' . sdf . '<br>';

if ()  =  . 'Email:' .  . '<br>';

if (asdf)  =  . 'Question:' . asdf . '<br>';

 

[artweb]

I keep trying but nothing is working here. Does anyone know if this can be done?

[laPistola]

$message= "";
if (!empty($companyname)) {
   $message .= "Company Name: $companyname\n";
}
if (!empty($address)) {
   $message .= "Address: $address\n";
}

 

Do that for all and it will only include info for fields thats not empty

[ldougherty]

Ahh you misunderstood

 

You have it set so that $message is everything I sent to you where as $message is each individual line, not all of them together..

 

replace

 

$message="

if ($companyname) $message = $message . 'Company Name:' . $companyname . '<br>';

if ($address) $message = $message . 'Address:' . $address . '<br>';

if ($city) $message = $message . 'City:' . $city . '<br>';

if ($state) $message = $message . 'State:' . $state . '<br>';

if ($zip) $message = $message . 'Zip:' . $zip . '<br>';

if ($contact_person) $message = $message . 'Contact Person:' . $contact_person . '<br>';

if ($phone) $message = $message . 'Phone:' . $phone . '<br>';

if ($fax) $message = $message . 'Fax:' . $fax . '<br>';

if ($email) $message = $message . 'Email:' . $email . '<br>';

if ($question) $message = $message . 'Question:' . $question . '<br>';

";

 

with

 

if ($companyname) $message = $message . 'Company Name:' . $companyname . '<br>';

if ($address) $message = $message . 'Address:' . $address . '<br>';

if ($city) $message = $message . 'City:' . $city . '<br>';

if ($state) $message = $message . 'State:' . $state . '<br>';

if ($zip) $message = $message . 'Zip:' . $zip . '<br>';

if ($contact_person) $message = $message . 'Contact Person:' . $contact_person . '<br>';

if ($phone) $message = $message . 'Phone:' . $phone . '<br>';

if ($fax) $message = $message . 'Fax:' . $fax . '<br>';

if ($email) $message = $message . 'Email:' . $email . '<br>';

if ($question) $message = $message . 'Question:' . $question . '<br>';
