PHP help needed please

[toulsonguk]

Hey all

 

Sorry for becoming a new member and then pasting this but I've started a new job in I.T and I've been asked to work on the company website even though I have no idea about PHP/HTML so I need to become a fast learner! Any help will be muchly appreciated.

 

Basically on the contact us form on the website, a PHP script emails us the form which works fine except it misses out two lines which is should have filled in? I cannot see any errors and dreamweaver reports that the syntax is all good.

 

Would somebody mind taking a look at the coding and see if you can spot anything wrong?

 

HTML FORM

 

<h1>Contact Us</h1>

        <p>Please fill out the following form to contact us.</p>

        <form id="contactform" method="post" action="contactengine.php">

          <p>

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

            <br />

            <input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" class="inputValue"/>

            <span class="required">*required</span><br />

            <br />

            <label for="Email" >Company Name:</label>

            <br />

            <input type="text" name="Company Name" id="Company" class="inputValue"/>

            <span class="required">*required</span><br />         

            <br />

            <label for="Email" >Phone Number:</label>

            <br />

            <input type="text" name="Phone Number" id="Phone" class="inputValue"/>

            <span class="required">*required</span><br />

            <br />

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

            <br />

            <input type="text" name="Email" id="Email" class="inputValue" />

            <span class="required">*required</span><br />

          </p>

      <br />

            <label for="Comments" >Your Message:</label>

            <br />

            <textarea name="Comments" cols="45" rows="8" class="inputText" id="Comments" ></textarea>

            <br />         

            <br />

            <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="inputButton"/>

          </p>

</form>

 

PHP SCRIPT

 

<?php

 

//Email Details

 

$EmailFrom = "someone@nowhere.com";

$EmailTo = "someone@nowhere.com";

$Subject = "Website Contact Form Submission";

 

$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));

$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));

$Comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Comments']));

 

// prepare email body text

 

$Body .= "Name: ";

$Body .= $Name;

$Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Company Name: ";

$Body .= $Company;

$Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Phone Number: ";

$Body .= $Phone;

$Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Email: ";

$Body .= $Email;

$Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Message: ";

$Body .= $Comments;

$Body .= "\n";

 

// send email

$success = mail($EmailTo,$Subject,$Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

 

// redirect to success page

// CHANGE THE URL BELOW TO YOUR "THANK YOU" PAGE

if ($success){

  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contactthanks.html\">";

 

}

else{

  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";

 

}

?>

 

Email Arrives like this:

 

Name: test

Company Name:

Phone Number:

Email: test@test.com

Message: sdfdsfs

 

Basically the email arrives as shown but it's missing the Phone Number and Company name details? I think this code has been borrowed when the website made so it's been changed to suite our needs.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look at this!

$phone and $company do not have any value inherently. They must receive values sent to the script from the form by the method POST.

 

Look here:

$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$Comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Comments'])); 

 

This is where the variables $name, $email and $comments receive values based on the form values that have been POST'd to the script.

 

There is no space for $phone or $company. You could solve this easily by appending

$Phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phone']);
$Company = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Company']);

 

Also, look at your form. It's a little copy and pasted, I can tell that. 

 

            <label for="Email" >Company Name:</label>
            <br />
            <input type="text" name="Company Name" id="Company" class="inputValue"/>
            <span class="required">*required</span><br />         
            <br />
            <label for="Email" >Phone Number:</label>
            <br />
            <input type="text" name="Phone Number" id="Phone" class="inputValue"/>
            <span class="required">*required</span><br />

 

needs to become

 

            <label for="Company" >Company Name:</label>
            <br />
            <input type="text" name="Company" id="Company" class="inputValue"/>
            <span class="required">*required</span><br />         
            <br />
            <label for="Phone" >Phone Number:</label>
            <br />
            <input type="text" name="Phone" id="Phone" class="inputValue"/>
            <span class="required">*required</span><br />

 

The name attribute is what is used by $_POST, iirc.

Here's two functions that can make learning a lot easier. var_dump or print_r.

You could do a var_dump($_POST); or print_r($_POST); to get everything inside of that variable. Also if you're really in a pinch, there are many PHP tutorials on the 'net as well as youtube. You could also outsource it! A simple thing like that wouldn't have cost very much.

 

Happy scripting!
