Help on Contact Form and File Upload

munky1018 · June 9, 2010

Newb issue here. I'm trying to collect data from fields to send in an e-mail to myself and upload a file to a directory on our website. It worked once but our system crashed and I had to use a back-up. Now it does not upload and only e-mails me the "email" field and hidden "subject" field. Any help would be appreciated. I've spent way to much time trying to figure it out.

<?php

		if (isset($_REQUEST['desired_position']) && isset($_REQUEST['first_name']) && isset($_REQUEST['last_name']) && isset($_REQUEST['email']))
		//if "email" is filled out, send email
		  {
		  //send email
			$desired_position = $_REQUEST['desired_position'] ; 
			$first_name = $_REQUEST['first_name'] ;

			$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
			$website = $_REQUEST['website'] ;
			$cover_letter = $_REQUEST['cover_letter'] ;
			$fromemail = '[email protected]' ;
			$resumelocation = 'http://www.domain.com/uploads/' ;

			if($desired_position == ""){
				$desired_position .= "n/a";
			}

				$first_name .= "n/a";
			}

Do you get any errors?

munky1018 · June 9, 2010

No errrors come up and the page redirects like it went through fine. It just doesn't upload the file or send the full "message"

kenrbnsn · June 9, 2010

While debugging, remove the redirect. Since you're using the POST method, change all the $_REQUEST to $_POST and put

<?php
echo '<pre>' . print_r($_POST,true) . '</pre>';
?>

at the start of the script. This will dump what's being submitted to the script.

Do you get a dump of what's being submitted? If so post the output here.

Ken

munky1018 · June 9, 2010

This is all I get in the e-mail.

Subject: Job Posting

Email: [email protected]

kenrbnsn · June 9, 2010

Not the email contents.

The line

<?php
echo '<pre>' . print_r($_POST,true) . '</pre>';
?>

Should print what's being submitted. That's what you need to show us. But you have to comment out or remove

<?php
header ('Location: http://www.trafficbuildersusa.com/');
?>

to see it.

I removed that line completely and it doesn't not print. It acts like always.

If nothing is printing, then you're not using the file you've been updating. Make absolutely sure, you're using the updated file.

I just figured it out. There is a different php file running higher in the page that was causing a conflict. Thanks for the help.
