Hi all,

 

I'm new to php and so worked my way through this tut on youtube to get the idea of sending emails from online form fields using php...

 

 

Seems to be working fine apart from it grabbing the information entered by the user.  So I'm getting blank fields in the email coming through that look like this:

 

================

 

Email:

Name:

Phone:

Budget:

No. Travelers:

Comments:

 

================

 

Can anyone see what's missing to make this work?  Text from php file and html of form field page below.....

 

Help much appreciated!

 

 

 

 

=====PHP======="contactformprocess.php"==================


<?php

/* define subject and send info */

$emailSubject = 'WEB ORDER';
$sendTo = 'me@myemail.com';

/* gathering data variables */

$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$phoneField = $_POST['phone'];
$budgetField = $_POST['budget'];
$travelersField = $_POST['travelers'];
$commentsField = $_POST['comments'];
$newsletterField = $_POST['newsletter'];

$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Email: $email <br>
Name: $name <br>
Phone: $phone <br>
Budget: $budget <br>
No. Travelers: $travelers <br>
Comments: $comments <br>
EOD;

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($sendTo, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

/* results as html */

$results = <<<EOD

Have now got it working by removing the 'field' from the post vbls....

 

So instead of

 

$emailField = $_POST['email'];

 

they read

 

$email = $_POST['email'];

 

Seems obvious that the vbls should match, but wondering why the tutorial changed them?!
