Ajna Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Greetings! I am a beginner of PHP. I have a Flash Contact Form Template that I downloaded from the internet. The Contact Form sends the email to my address but the Subject, Message and From does not appear in the email. I would appreciate any assistance on what I need to do to correct it. Here is the code... <? $to = "[email protected]"; $msg = "$name\n\n"; $msg .= "$message\n\n"; mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n"); ?> Where it says your email I have put my email. Here is the page http://nvi.hostei.com/gptw/form.html Thanks in advanced.

Ajna Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 That is how the code was given to me. I copy and paste what I see and follow the instructions included. Like I said I am a beginner. I am posting at this site because it seems friendly to those learning PHP. I of course have lots to learn. Can anyone suggest something that will work and is simple?

jmann1 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 There are countless form processors out there for download. Many of them include very concise install and config instructions. You can also look for online form generators that will create a form based on your input. Google "php form processor" and you can spend the rest of the day finding one that fits your needs.

chmpdog Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 If I were you I would consider finding a new code. here is one from php.net: <?php // multiple recipients $to = '[email protected]' . ', '; // note the comma $to .= '[email protected]'; // subject $subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August'; // message $message = ' <html> <head> <title>Birthday Reminders for August</title> </head> <body> <p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p> <table> <tr> <th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> '; // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; // Additional headers $headers .= 'To: Mary <[email protected]>, Kelly <[email protected]>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <[email protected]>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Bcc: [email protected]' . "\r\n"; // Mail it mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/162908-solved-beginner-needs-help/#findComment-859717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkedpker Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Ajna. I have decompiled your form.swf and I found this loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST"; it means it uses POST it also means you have error there.. you are missing closing bracket before the ; (semicolon).. maybe my decompiler is bad. <? $to = "[email protected]"; $msg = "$name\n\n"; $msg .= "$message\n\n"; mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n"); ?> has to be <?php $name = $_POST['name']; $subject = $_POST['subject']; $message = $_POST['message']; $email= $_POST['email']; $to = "[email protected]"; $msg = "$name\n\n"; $msg .= "$message\n\n"; mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n"); ?> should work then.

Ajna Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 pkedpker, I finally got a chance to add the corrected codes that you provided. Your decompiler misread the code... there was a bracket before the semicolon. Your PHP script allowed the email to be sent but the name, email, subject and message was not filled in. Thank You for your time. Truly appreciated it. I would like to learn more, could you provide some good beginner sources to learn PHP?

elis Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Regarding sources to help you learn PHP, I would suggest using http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ which focuses on covering PHP in a way that's easily understood for beginners.
