PHP isnt passing the variables!!!!

[spikypunker]

I've got a simple form and it's not sending the variables!!!!!

 

<form action="mail.php" method="POST">

			Name:<Br />
			<input name="name" type="text" width="250"/>
			<br /><br />
			Email:<Br />
			<input name="email" type="text" width="250"/>
			<br /><Br />
			Enquiry:<Br />
			<textarea name="message" cols="50" rows="8"></textarea>
			<Br /><br />
			<input name="" type="submit" value="Enter"/>

			</form>

 

<?php



$return = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];
$subject = 'Contact From CornerStone website';

$content = $return . '
' . $name . '
' . $message;



$to      = '#';

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

echo "$to, $subject, $content, $headers";

?>

 

 

And it's making me VERY ANGRY!!!!

Is that within the scope of some function or something? $HTTP_POST_VARS is not a superglobal like $_POST is. Also $HTTP_POST_VARS has been deprecated since 4.1.0, so throw your book away and buy a new one!

ARRRGGGH it's too late to be doing this!!

 

It's now passing the variables but it's not redirecting to thanks.php at the end! I've done this same thing a hundred times!!! WHY IS IT DOING TTHHIIISSSSSS

 

<?php

$return = $_POST'email'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = 'Contact From CornerStone website';

$content = $return . '
' . $name . '
' . $message;



$to      = '[email protected]';

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

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thanks.php\">";

?>

Have you checked that it's actually output? Also, you should use a proper header for redirecting.

Ok it's working now, turns out my internet is just being a £$%^&*(

 

But yeah, thats how i always redirect, is there a better way?

[Daniel0]

Doing like this is better:

header('Location: destination.php');

 

Strictly speaking, the destination is required to be a fully qualified URL in the RFC, but all browsers work with relative URLs as well.

Um ...

header ('Location: thanks.php');
