on my email script

[nouse4one]

I am experiencing compleate brain failure here please help if you can.

 

This is my email script, how do i include multiple input, into the $body tag? example: vieweremail + comments + phonenumber + alot other stuff??

 

As of now i can only make it include 1 user input field thats is 'vieweremail'.

<?php
$to = $_POST['email_addy'];
$subject = "RE: your dating app";
$body = $_POST['vieweremail'];
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
  }
?>

[sinista]

$body = "some";

$body .= " other stufff";

 

echo $body;

 

will out put

 

some other stuff

[nouse4one]

<?php
$to = $_POST['email_addy'];
$subject = "RE: your dating app";
$body = $_POST['vieweremail'];
$body .= $_POST['viewername'];

echo $body;
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
  }
?>

That is a big no go. I have over 30 fields i want to be included in my email body, can you give me a example im not getting it.

Thats the exact way ist's supposed to work, so echo your POST values to see that things are being populated correctly.

 

What echoes for $body?

 

And try taking it out of the if statement to see if it works without it

[sinista]

or this method

 

$a ="one and ";

$b =" two";

 

$body =$a.$b;

 

 

if you have lots of things to add put them in a loop

 

foreach ($_REQUEST as $item)

{

  $body .= $item;

}

 

you just want to add stuff to the body part of the email right?

Thank you i got it to work, a bit buggy however it is very usable.

[nouse4one]

Yes im only writing stuff into the body of the email message

<?php
$to = $_POST['email_addy'];
$subject = "RE: your dating app";
$body = $_POST['vieweremail'];
$body .= $_POST['viewername'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['areacode'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['phone2'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['phone3'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['viewercomments'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q1'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q2'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q3'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q4'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q5'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q6'];
$body .= " "; 
$body .= $_POST['q7'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q8'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q9'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q10'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q11'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q12'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q13'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q14'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q15'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q16'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q17'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q18'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q19'];
$body .= " ";
$body .= $_POST['q20'];


if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
  }
?>

this works buts is there a better way?

[freeloader]

foreach ($_POST as $post) {
$body .= $post." ";
}

I guess there a billion ways to do it, when I'm at work I create a table in HTML with all the data filled in, then add the table to the $body variable, so when the reader gets the mail it looks nice,

 

really you have to think about how you want it to look and then format it that way.
