TimHorton Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Am a total idiot/ novice at php. I was tring to get a very basic guestbook for my local NGO/ interest group set up and thought I had it. Everything works except that the form data, the most important part, never comes out in the e-mail at the other end. Can someone help? Thanks. I have the following form html on a web-page: <form action="sendmail.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="input"> <h3><font color="#003366" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">If you have any comments, news or ideas please take the time to fill out this form.</font></h3> <p><font color="#003366" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Name:<br> <input type="text" name="name" value="yourname" size="20"> <br> Mail:<br> <input type="text" name="mail" value="yourmail" size="20"> <br> Comment:<br> <input type="text" name="comment" value="yourcomment" size="40"> </font></p> <p> <font color="#003366" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br> I am interested in taking out a membership, please send me some more details: <input type="checkbox" name="InterestedinMembership"> </font> </p> <p><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </p> </form> The php file is coded thus: <? $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ; $mail = $_REQUEST['mail'] ; $comment = $_REQUEST['comment'] ; $InterestedinMembership = $_REQUEST['InterestedinMembership'] ; mail( "me@myorg.com", "Feedback Form Results", $message, "From: $mail" ); header( "Location: http://www.myorg.com/thankyou.htm" ); ?> Any ideas? Am I missing the obvious? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/1937-lost-form-data/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
