My sendmail.php only sends 2 variables

[pehlavoon]

Here is my sendmail.php code:

 

<?php

//capture form data in name/value structure
//ie. fName = "Pouya"

$fNameVar = $_POST['fName'];
$lNameVar = $_POST['lName'];
$emailVar = $_POST['email'];
$commentVar = $_POST['comment'];
$telVar = $_POST['tel'];

//echo "First Name is {$fNameVar}, last name is {$lNameVar}, email is {$emailVar} and comment is {$commentVar}";

// The e-mail function requires 3 types of info

// A. Destination e-mail
// B. Subject line
// C. Body of your message
// D. E-mail of sender

mail("[email protected]", "Message from my New Media Sources", $commentVar, "From:$emailVar");


//echo "Thank you $fNameVar"

header("Location:thankyou.php");

?>

 

In the mail section I can only send 2 variables. As soon as I add the third it doesn't even send anything to my e-mail. Please help, its driving me crazy.

 

Here is my table page:

 

<?php
include "header.html";
?>
    <div id="templatemo_menu">

Take a look and see if you can help me.

Show us the troubled code where you are trying to send more than 2 variables.

[pehlavoon]

The code below works.

 

mail("[email protected]", "Message from my New Media Sources", $commentVar, $lNameVar, "From:$emailVar");

 

The code below does not. You can mix and match the variables after "Message from my New Media Sources". It won't work.

 

mail("[email protected]", "Message from my New Media Sources", $commentVar, $lNamevar, $fNamVar, "From:$emailVar");

I wrote the issue above this message

The format of the mail function is

<?php
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers,$optional_headers);
?>

You should be putting all your variables values into the body of the email message. Something like:

<?php
$body = '';
$body .= "$commentVar\n";
$body .= "$INameVar\n";
$body .= "$fNameVar\n";
mail("[email protected]", "Message from my New Media Sources",$body,"From:$emailVar");
?>

Thank you Ken,

 

I am actually really new to PHP. I tried your way but couldn't seem to figure it out. Could you please tell how to go about this in detail. Thank you so much.
