manuka Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah I know this is a pretty basic problem, but it's been a while since I've worked with PHP and I'm having a real problem getting it functioning properly. My real issue is the user inputed information is not getting sent with the email. I haven't added all the fields to the email yet as I'm trying to get it right first then populating all of the fields. Anyway my code is below: hairinfo.html <form name="hairinfo" method="POST" action="hair/EmailToForm.php"> <table border="0" align="center" background="images/blackopaque.png" class="contact"> <tr> <td width="100">Name</td> <td><input name="name" type="text" id="name" class="contactBox" size="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100">Service</td> <td class="contactBox"> <input type="radio" name="hairservice" value="Cut" id="hairservice"> Cut<br> <input type="radio" name="hairservice" value="Colour" id="hairservice"> Colour<br> <input type="radio" name="hairservice" value="Hair Up" id="hairservice"> Hair Up<br> <input type="radio" name="hairservice" value="Set" id="hairservice"> Set<br> <input type="radio" name="hairservice" value="Style" id="hairservice"> Style<br></td> </tr> <td width="100">Address</td> <td><input name="address" type="text" class="contactBox" id="address" size="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100">City</td> <td><input name="city" type="text" class="contactBox" size="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100">Date</td> <td><input name="date" type="text" class="contactBox160" id="date"/> <script language="JavaScript"> new tcal ({ // form name 'formname': 'testinput', // input name 'controlname': 'testinput' });</script> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100">E-Mail</td> <td><input name="email" type="text" id="emailaddress" class="contactBox" size="30" ></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100">Phone Number</td> <td><input name="phone" type="text" class="contactBox" size="30" id="phone"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100" valign="top">Brief</td> <td><textarea name="message" cols="23" rows="9" class="contactBox" id="message"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100"></td> <td><input name="send" type="submit" class="inputField" value="Send" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><em>For a faster reply, text your booking information to: 021 0259 6543</em></td> </tr> </table> </form> hair/EmailToForm.php <?php // Contact subject $subject ='Hair Booking'; // Details $message="$message"; // Mail of sender $mail_from="$emailaddress"; // From $header="from: $name <$mail_from>"; // Enter your email address $to ='kerry@manukadesign.co.nz'; $send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header); // Check, if message sent to your email // display message "We've recived your information" if($send_contact){ echo "Thanks, we've recived your contact information<br /> and we will be in touch as soon as possible about your request"; } else { echo "ERROR"; } ?> I would really appreciate any help offered.

Kieran Menor Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 You are probably expecting register_globals to be on. Use the $_POST array instead. I. e. if you had <input name="from">, then instead of trying to get the value in PHP with $from, use $_POST['from']. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoarderLine Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Try this:- <?php // Contact subject $subject ='Hair Booking'; // Details $message=$_POST['message']; // Mail of sender $mail_from=$_POST['emailaddress']; // From $name=$_POST['name']; $header="from: $name <$mail_from>"; // Enter your email address $to ='kerry@manukadesign.co.nz'; $send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header); // Check, if message sent to your email // display message "We've recived your information" if($send_contact){ echo "Thanks, we've recived your contact information<br /> and we will be in touch as soon as possible about your request"; } else { echo "ERROR"; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
