Need help with php form

[pburgner]

Hello,

I've been working on this for quite awhile now and stumped, someone helping me with this previously proved it worked perfectly on their server.. so I think my server GoDaddy is just a bit more fussy about proper coding, so I'm sure the problem must lie in something that's just not coded in ideal etiquette, but I can't find it..

 

I've got a form (link to follow), which is working partially - it sends me email as it should showing the different fields in my form: First Name, Last Name, Address Line 1, Address Line 2, City, State, ZipCode, Email, Phone, Message - but the only inputted fields that come through are first name and last name... although mysteriously once the contents of the email and message fields came through too, but the remaining 99 times I tried only the contents of first name and last name came through.  You can find the form here:

 

www.northernlightswebsitedesign.com/test6.html  (go to the "Rates & Contact" tab)

 

which uses the thanks.php script attached. 

 

Any advice would be so appreciated!!!!

You'll get a better response by posting the code for the form and the processing script in the thread, within

 . . . 

BBCode tags. Most people won't bother to download attachments.

Ok here's the script for the form, followed by the php script:

 

 

<form class="appnitro">
    	            <ul >
			<li id="li_1" >
				<label class="description">*Name </label>
				<span>
				<input name= "First Name" type="text" class="element text" id="FirstName" onblur="MM_validateForm('First Name','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" value="" size="10" maxlength="200" />
				<label for="FirstName">First</label>
				</span>
				<span>
				<input name= "Last Name" type="text" class="element text"  id="LastName" onblur="MM_validateForm('Last Name','','R');return document.MM_returnValue"   maxlength="200" size="25" value="" />
				<label for="LastName">Last</label>
				</span> 
			</li>		
                                <li id="li_2" >
				<label class="description">Address </label>
					<div>

                                               <div>

                    <script type="text/javascript">

AND HERE's THE PHP SCRIPT:

	$phone		=	$_REQUEST['phone'];
	$msg		=	$_REQUEST['msg'];
	$subject	=	$name . " send you message from Northern Lights Website Design";
	$messageproper ="\n\n" .
	"Name: " .
	$name .
	"<br>" .

The name= attributes of the form fields must match the indices of the $_REQUEST array that you're using, and should not have spaces. I.E. $_REQUEST['email'] would correspond to the field with the attribute name="email", etc.

[kenrbnsn]

The OP's code shows that the target of the form is being created & populated via Javascript, so that the name attribute has no bearing in this case.

Ah, yes. I missed that when I thought I had spotted the obvious problem . . .

[pburgner]

that is correct, the name attribute is not being used (although just to be sure I tried making them match and it still didn't work).. I checked for spaces too and didn't find anything out of place here, but you never know sometimes these type errors are hard to pinpoint.. it's just so bizarre only the first name and last name come through consistently ok, and (I didn't realize this before to mention it but) part of the address line 1 comes through - for example if I put "P.O. Box 90" in the address line 1, only "P.O." comes through in the contents of the email.. it doesn't go past the space... maybe this is a clue?

 

 

[pburgner]

OK I've figured out then as soon as a space is encountered in the form's contents - the php script doesn't process the rest of the form and only sends me an email with the contents of the form, up until the space was entered.  So something in my code does not like spaces in the forms content fields.  How do I fix this?  I'm totally stumped!!!

You have to urlencode($strings) in query strings.
