sendmail script issues

[rigbyae]

Okay, pretty new to PHP here. I can read PHP, and understand most of it, just still running into some "stupid" issues. any help would be appreciated.

 

I've included the code for the script that I"m using, or trying to use...  Obviously, I've removed some key factors such as my exact email address and thankyou & error page locations.  The script will send an email to me, but the html code will be in the email body, and it won't send the message portion from the form.

 

I've double and triple checked the variable names to the html code for the form itself, and the variables are the same.

 

Any suggestions to what's going wrong?

----------my code----------------

<?php

 

/* Subject and Email Variables */

 

$emailSubject = 'Website Enquiry';

$webMaster = 'myemail';

 

/* Gathering Data Variables */

 

$nameField = $_POST['name'];

$emailField = $_POST['email'];

$phoneField = $_POST['phone'];

$formField = $_POST['form'];

 

$body = <<<EOD

<br /><hr><br />

Email: $emailField <br />

Name: $nameField <br />

Phone Number: $phoneField <br />

Message: $formField<br />

EOD;

 

 

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

if (mail($webMaster, $emailField, $emailSubject, $body, $headers)) {header("Location: http://www.mythankyoupage...etc");}

else {header("Location:http://www.myerrorpage...etc");}

 

?>

?>

 

Recheck the function definition of mail().

 

mail  (  string $to  ,  string $subject  ,  string $message , string $headers );

 

Change: mail($webMaster, $emailField, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

 

To: mail($emailField, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

 

You can specify the sent from address in $headers.

 

Example:

 

$header = "From: $webMaster\n\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

 

Hope that helps!

Made the suggested changes, still getting the same issues.

 

The email sent to my account via the form looks as this:

 

<br /><hr><br />

Email: me@whatever.com <br />

Name: myname <br />

Phone Number: 0000101111 <br />

Message: <br />

 

The redirect to either the Thankyou.html or the Error.html works fine.

 

Looking for help in at the very least getting the message into the email sent, if at all possible getting the html code out of the sent email as well.

 

Thanks.

add these for the headers..

 

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

 

and  make sure u have the mime installed in php
