mail() ERROR

[brmcdani]

I am getting the following errors for my mail() code:

 

Warning: mail() expects at most 5 parameters, 9 given in /home/content/s/a/g/sagates/html/contact.php on line 17

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/s/a/g/sagates/html/contact.php:17) in /home/content/s/a/g/sagates/html/contact.php on line 18

 

Here is my code

<?php
  $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
  $phone = $_REQUEST['phone'] ;
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $pref = $_REQUEST['pref'] ;
  $type = $_REQUEST['type'] ;
  $kind = $_REQUEST['kind'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

  mail( "laaa4@sss.com", "Contact Request",
  	"Name:  $name",
  	"Phone Number:  $phone",
  	"Email:  $email",
  	"Contact Preference:  $pref",
  	"Job Type:  $type",
  	"Interested in:  $kind",
    "Description:  $message");
  header( "Location: thankyou.htm" );
?>

 

Can someone please help me out please?

  $body = "Name: $name \nPhone Number: $phone \nEmail: $email \nContact Preference: $pref \nJob Type: $type \nInterested In: $kind \nDescription: $message \n\n"

  mail( "laaa4@sss.com", "Contact Request", $body);

 

You were using way too many parameters. Combining them into a variable will show you how it should be done. In function calls commas separate parameters. If you wanted to concatenate them periods should have been used. Hope it helps.

Great thanks for your help!  Now I am getting a parse error and don't get what the deal is on this I checked it over 3-4 times but I am tired!  I know it is something simple someone please help!

 

Thanks

 

<?php

$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;  
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'] ;  
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;  
$pref = $_REQUEST['pref'] ;  
$type = $_REQUEST['type'] ;  
$kind = $_REQUEST['kind'] ;  
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

$body = "Name: $name 
\nPhone Number: $phone 
\nEmail: $email 
\nContact Preference: $pref 
\nJob Type: $type 
\nInterested In: $kind 
\nDescription: $message \n\n"  

mail( "brett.mcdaniel@ttu.edu", "Contact Request", $body);

header( "Location: thankyou.htm" );
?>

You need a semicolon after the $body section:

 

$body = "Name: $name 
   \nPhone Number: $phone 
   \nEmail: $email 
   \nContact Preference: $pref 
   \nJob Type: $type 
   \nInterested In: $kind 
   \nDescription: $message \n\n";  

 

Should solve that syntax error.

Okay this is really wearing me out!  Now I get a Cannot Modify Header error at line 21

 

One more reply please!

 

<?php

$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;  
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'] ;  
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;  
$pref = $_REQUEST['pref'] ;  
$type = $_REQUEST['type'] ;  
$kind = $_REQUEST['kind'] ;  
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];

$body = "Name: $name 	
\nPhone Number: $phone 	
\nEmail: $email 	
\nContact Preference: $pref
\nJob Type: $type 	
\nInterested In: $kind 	
\nDescription: $message \n\n";

mail( "brett.mcdaniel@ttu.edu", "Contact Request", $body);

header( "Location: thankyou.htm" );

?>

You're sending output before the header is sent, remove any whitespace or echo before the header() or you can simply add this code directly after <?php

<?php
ob_start(); //output buffer

[brmcdani]

Ok I added the ob_start() should there be a a ob_flush() or something like that at the end?

 

It says the error is on the last line of code now?

 

Thanks again
