danm8 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Most of the quotes in your HTML markup are smart-quotes/curly-quotes (i.e. ” and “) Your HTML markup should only contain straight quotes " or ' yeah i noticed that as well before you posted. And i changed them all, but now it information wont even post (the data wont show up in the addresss bar when i click submit). So now i'm back to square 1. Edit: Here is the code with all the quotes fixed <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Contact Us</title> </head> <body> <form action="contactForm.php" method="post"> Name: <br /> <input type="text" name="name" /> <br /><br /> Email Address: <br /> <input type="text" name="email" /> <br /><br /> Comments: <br /> <textarea rows="10" cols="20" name="comments"> </textarea> <br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="send" /> </form> </body> </html> <?php $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $comments = $_POST['comments']; $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Comments From Website"; $input_name = "Name: $name\n\n"; $input_email = "Email: $email\n\n"; $input_comments = $comments; $message = $input_name.$input_email.$input_comments; mail($to,$subject,$message); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”> <head> <title>Comments received</title> </head> <body> <h2>Your comments are appreciated.</h2> <p><strong><?php echo($name); ?></strong>, we value your comments.
