Email will only show 4 variable and no more?

[tkowebworks]

Hello,

 

I am writing my first php script (of course) and it works except it only shows 4 variables.

Example I have it to send me:

mail($myemail, $fullname, $email, $message, $phone);

But it will only send me the first four no matter what order they are in. It's driving me crazy. I can't think or find any reason why it would do this.

 

If I change it to

mail($myemail, $fullname, $email, $phone, $message);

It will send me everything but $message

if I change it to

mail($myemail, $fullname, $message, $email, $phone );

It will send me everything but $phone

 

Does anyone know why or what I need to change? I apologize if this sounds like a dumb question. I am very very new to php.

 

Thank you for any guidance you can give. Here is the code:

HTML:

 

<form action="Contact.php" method="post" id="contact" name="contact" style="margin:0px";>

<h2>Contact Form:</h2>

<p>Fields marked (<span style="color:#F00;">*</span>) are required.</p>

 

<p>

<label for="text_fullname">Full Name<span style="color:#F00;">*</span>:</label>

<input name="fullname" type="text" class="input" id="fullname" tabindex="1" />

 

<label for="text_email">Email<span style="color:#F00;">*</span>:</label>

<input name="email" type="text" class="input" id="email" tabindex="2" />

 

<label for="text_phone">Phone:</label>

<input name="phone" type="text" class="input" id="phone" tabindex="3" />

 

<label for="text_comments">Message/Comment:</label>

<textarea name="message" cols="23" rows="3" class="input" id="message" tabindex="4"></textarea>

<br>

 

<div style="padding-left:200px;">

<button type="submit" id="send" name="send">Send!</button>    <button type="reset">Reset</button>

</div>

 

</form>

---------------------------------------

PHP:

<?php

/* Set e-mail recipient */

$myemail = "[email protected]";

 

$fullname = $_POST['fullname'] ;

$email = $_POST['email'] ;

$phone = $_POST['phone'] ;

$message = $_POST['message'] ;

 

mail($myemail, $fullname, $email, $message, $phone);

header( "Location: http://www.ppm-oc.com/thankyou.html" );

?>

Thank you

You cant have a phone as a parameter.

There is To Subject Message and (additional )headers

 

Phone stuff and other variables are likely put in the message var

 

Its should like this:

 

<?php
$to      = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Thank you so much!  I'll try that and let you know.  I followed a couple of tutorials that I found and they were not very helpful.

 

I appreciate your help!

I tried it that way, but I couldn't get it to work.  I changed my code to the below and it finally works, but I'm afraid I'm still doing it incorrectly.  Here is what worked for me:

I don't think I'm understanding the $headers .

<?php

$myemail  = "[email protected]";

 

$fullname = $_POST['fullname'] ;

  $email = $_POST['email'] ;

$phone = $_POST['phone'] ;

  $message = $_POST['message'] ;

 

$msg = 'Name: '.$fullname."\n";

$msg .= 'Email: '.$email."\n";

$msg .= 'Phone: '.$phone."\n\n";

$msg .= 'Message: '.$message."\n";

 

mail($myemail, 'New message from contact form', $msg);

header( "Location: http://www.ppm-oc.com/thankyou.html" );

?>
