Hi All, My mail function is working perfectly on all browsers except IE, could you help me finding out why is this?... I thought i need different headers but still getting same problem. when clicking on the send button of my form the page doesnt work at all but if i try it from firefox or any other browser it works just fine!... any idea?  :(,.. here is my code

 

<?php

// at the start of your script

error_reporting(E_ALL);

init_set('display_errors', '1');

 

 

/*Subject and Email variables */

 

$emailSubject = 'New Customer Inquery from www.Franksmusicvideo.com!';

$webMaster = '[email protected]';

 

/* Gathering Data Variables */

 

$emailField = $_POST['email'];

$nameField = $_POST['name'];

$phoneField = $_POST['phone'];

$eventField = $_POST['event'];

$commentsField = $_POST['comments'];

 

 

$body = <<<EOD

<br><hr><br>

Email: $emailField <br>

Name: $nameField <br>

Phone Number: $phoneField <br>

Event: $eventField <br>

Comments: $commentsField <br>

EOD;

 

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

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

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";

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

$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

 

/*Results rendered as HTML */

 

$theResults = <<<EOD

<html>

<head>

<title>sent message</title>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;URL=http://www.franksmusicvideo.com/ContactUs.htm">

<style type="text/css">

php is server side,it must work in all browsers if your code is valid php. it might not work because your IE cache is on, remember to delete your history before concluding its an error. your basic html may also be at fault. so the information may not be displaying properly

Might it have something to do with the nested <form> tags? I'm not sure that's valid markup to begin with, and only one set has an action declared; Internet Exploder may be choking on that and cratering.

Actually I just have 2 forms  embedded like:,

<form action="phpproccess.php" method="post">

 

<input name>

<input name>

<input name>

<input name>

  <form name="event" >

<input type>

<input type>

<input type>

<input type>

  </form>

<textarea></textarea>

 

</form>

Yep forms can't be embedded (they can't be within another form).

 

http://validator.w3.org/

 

You can copy and paste code into the validator there. Strictly speaking, every page should be valid. Part of my testing runs this validator on every page on my website before I publish pages live - this means if something doesn't work at least it's the fault of the browser and not me!
