Automated Email (Extra Coding)

[Paige1710]

I've never really coded php/javascript before.  But I wanted to send an automated email with all the information I needed to confirm with my clients straight away.  I found a site and began trying a few things, but now I am stuck.  I have a form which they need to fill out...

 

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

Name (Required): <input type="text" name="name"/><br><br>

Email (Required): <input type="text" name="email"/><br><br>

Website URL: <input type="text" name="website"/><br><br>

Purchase Domain (Required): <input type="radio" name="domain" value="yes">Yes

<input type="radio" name="domain" value="no">No<br><br>

Domain Name (Required): <input type="text" name="domainname"/><br><br>

Package (Required): <input type="text" name="package"/><br><br>

Paypal Email (Required): <input type="text" name="paypal"/><br><br>

Ref. Number:<input type="text" name="refnum"/><br><br>

Message:<br><textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="7"></textarea><br><br>

<input type="submit" value="Send"/>

 

and then the sperate mailer.php file...

 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$email_field = $_POST['email'];

$subjecte = "Order Confirmation";

 

$name = $_post['name'];

 

$body = "Hello $name, \n

<p>

<b>PLEASE SAVE THIS AS A RECORD - READ THIS EMAIL IN FULL<b>

var good;

function checkdomain(field) {

var goodpackage = field.value.match('yes')};

if (goodpackage) {good = true;document.write("The Package you have chosen comes with a free Domain name/You have requested a Domain name with your package.  While

everything is being processed can you please send a reply with your requested Domain name so that we can order it

ready for you")}

else {good = false;document.write("-")}

}

";

 

echo "An email has been sent to $email_field.";

mail($email, $subjecte, $body);

} else {

 

echo "HEY! You refreshed the page, didn't you? Well, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. Whenever you refresh me, YOU BRAINWjavascript:validForm('save');

SaveASH ME!!";

 

}

?>

 

I know where my problem is (red section) at least I think that's it.  What I want to happen is that depending on the option they choose in the Purchase Domain field will change what's added to the automated response email.  If yes, then the extra text is added, if no, then nothing's added.

Thanks.

Oh.. you need to convert that JavaScript code to PHP.

 

You need to give values to each of your input fields. Example:

Package (Required): <input type="text" name="package" value="1" /><br><br>

 

 

So for the $body, try something like: (just an example)

$body = "Hello $name, \n 
<p>

$goodpackage = ($_POST['package'] === "1");
if ($goodpackage) {
     $body .= "The Package you have chosen comes with a free Domain name/You have requested a Domain name with your package. While

}

Wow, thanks for the quick response!

Before it was saying error on a middle line, but now it's saying there's an error right at the end.  I'm sure that to close a php line you use ;?>.

I have done and I've even tried changing it a few times but it still says there's an error.  What should I do?
