PHP data Forwarding in form - Help request

[golfies]

I am new here and would greatly appreciate a response, I am at my wits end with this problem....

 

I recently created a website which can be found here: www.bryansmusicbox.co.uk

 

I have got a form.. however I cannot forward this data to my email box, it is very frustrating, I have tried dreamweavers Mail2form extension to no sucess, here is my form data on my index.HTML page

 

<form action="contact.php" method="post" name="question" id="question" accept-charset="iso-8859-1">

      <p>

        <label for="questName">Your Name</label>

        <input name="questName" type="text" id="questName" size="20" />

      </p>

      <p>

        <label for="questEmail"> Your Email</label>

        <input name="questEmail" type="text" id="questEmail" size="20" />

      </p>

      <p>

        <label for="question">Venue, How many residents/guests/occasion</label>

        <textarea name="question2" cols="20" rows="5"></textarea>

      </p>

      <p>

        <input type="submit" name="submitQuestion" id="submitQuestion" value="Make a Booking now" />

      </p>

      <input type="hidden" name="hdwemail" id="hdwemail" value="bryan.flood+bryansmusicbox.co.uk" />

    </form>

 

and here is my PHP page

 

<?php

$to = "[email protected]";

$subject = "Contact Us";

$questName = $_REQUEST['questName'] ;

$questEmail = $_REQUEST['questEmail'] ;

$question2 = $_REQUEST['question2'] ;

 

$headers = "From: [email protected]";

$sent = mail($questName, $subject, $questEmail, $question2) ;

if($sent)

{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }

else

{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }

 

$fields = array();

$fields{"questName"} = "questName";

$fields{"questEmail"} = "questEmail";

$fields{"question2"} = "question2"; 

?>

 

PHP is enabled on the server and after clicking submit i do recieve an email sometimes, but its from an unknown sender and has no data in in !

 

A prompt response would be appreciated and i will try to help at least three other members if i get a reply

thanks in advance

The first parameter of the mail function expects a target e-mail address, you are passing it the persons name, the third parameter should be the main body of the e-mail and you are sending it the e-mail, the 4th parameter is for e-mail headers and you are passing it the actual question.

[golfies]

which bit is the function? The bit above the array?

Could you give an example of what to replace with what so i know where to work from?

 

$to = "[email protected]";

$subject = "Contact Us";

$questName = $_REQUEST['questName'] ;

$questEmail = $_REQUEST['questEmail'] ;

$question2 = $_REQUEST['question2'] ;

 

is this the fubction? I do i need to replace the first parts of these?

 

Again help appreciated <3

The mail function has defined parameters:

<?php
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, $extra_header);
?>

You MUST use the parameters properly or the mail() function won't work. The "extra_header" parameter is optional.

 

Try this:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]"; 
$subject = "Contact Us"; 
$questName = $_REQUEST['questName'] ; 
$questEmail = $_REQUEST['questEmail'] ; 
$question2 = $_REQUEST['question2'] ;
$body = array();
$body[] = 'QuestName: ' . $_POST['questName'];
$body[] = 'QuestEmail: ' . $_POST['questEmail'];
$body[] = 'Question2: ' . $_POST['question2'];
$headers = "From: Bryan Flood <[email protected]>";

$sent = mail($to, $subject, implode("\n",$body), $headers) ; 
if($sent) 
{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else 
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }

$fields = array(); 
$fields["questName"] = "questName"; 
$fields["questEmail"] = "questEmail"; 
$fields]"question2"] = "question2";  
?>

Using kens code, i still get the server error, check it out on www.bryansmusicbox.co.uk

 

do you think it could be my form? :S or perhaps that my index page is a .html and not a .php? This is my form code :

 

<form action="contact.php" method="post" name="question" id="question" accept-charset="iso-8859-1">

      <p>

        <label for="questName">Your Name</label>

        <input name="questName" type="text" id="questName" size="20" />

      </p>

      <p>

        <label for="questEmail"> Your Email</label>

        <input name="questEmail" type="text" id="questEmail" size="20" />

      </p>

      <p>

        <label for="question">Venue, How many residents/guests/occasion</label>

        <textarea name="question2" cols="20" rows="5"></textarea>

      </p>

      <p>

        <input type="submit" name="submitQuestion" id="submitQuestion" value="Make a Booking now" />

      </p>

      <input type="hidden" name="hdwemail" id="hdwemail" value="bryan.flood+bryansmusicbox.co.uk" />

    </form>
