PHP shopping cart doesn't pass form data to email body


blanne

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

 

I've been trying to solve the following issue for about a week. I've looked on this board (and various others) and do find some references to the code, but no assistance with my problem. The code is from NOPCART free PHP shopping cart, and I know it's quite old, but I'm hoping it will work for me as I haven't found any others. I also have little/no PHP skills, but have certainly been learning a bit lately with this! OK, on to the porblem.

I have a checkout.htm file, which takes a form input and passes it to the checkout.php script. This in turn should populate an email (and csv file) and send to me. I fixed an issue with it not sending at all, but now it sends with only static data - that is it doesn't pass the form data. I also used a small script to see the form code generated, and this does display form data - so I know the html side is working.

 

HTML code portion:

<TABLE class="blacktext">

<TR><TD>Name:    </TD><TD><input type="text" size="20" name="b_first"> <input type="text" size="20" name="b_last"></TD></TR>

<TR><TD>Address: </TD><TD><input type="text" size="46" name="b_addr"> </TD></TR>

<TR><TD>Address: </TD><TD><input type="text" size="46" name="b_addr2"></TD></TR>

<TR><TD>Address: </TD><TD><input type="text" size="46" name="b_addr3"> </TD></TR>

<TR><TD>State:  </TD><TD><input type="text" size="1"  name="b_state"> </TD></TR>

<TR><TD>Zip:    </TD><TD><input type="text" size="5"  name="b_zip"></TD></TR>

<TR><TD>Phone:  </TD><TD><input type="text" size="37" name="b_phone"></TD></TR>

<TR><TD>Fax:    </TD><TD><input type="text" size="37" name="b_fax"></TD></TR>

<TR><TD>Email:  </TD><TD><input type="text" size="37" name="b_email"> </TD></TR>

</TABLE>

 

The variables are populated by user input fine.

 

PHP section:

$header        = "header.html";

$footer        = "footer.html";

$mailprogram  = "sendmail -t";

$returnpage    = "/";

$youremail    = "info@myemail.co.za";

$csvfilename  = "orders.csv";

$csvquote      = "\"\"";

$mode          = "BOTH";

 

$b_first = "b_first";

$today = date ("l, F jS Y");

$strMessageBody = "";

$strMessageBody .= "A new order has been received.  A summary of this order appears below.\n";

$strMessageBody .= "\n";

$strMessageBody .= "Order Date: $today \n";

$strMessageBody .= " \n";

$strMessageBody .= "Bill To: \n";

$strMessageBody .= "-------- \n";

$strMessageBody .= "$b_first";

$strMessageBody .= "$b_last \n";

$strMessageBody .= "  $b_addr \n";

$strMessageBody .= "  $b_addr2 \n";

$strMessageBody .= "  $b_city, $b_state  $b_zip \n";

$strMessageBody .= "  $b_phone \n";

$strMessageBody .= "  $b_fax \n";

$strMessageBody .= "  $b_email \n";

 

The email bit - I suspect this could be part of the issue..?

if( $mode == "BOTH" || $mode == "EMAIL") {

  //# Send email order to you...

  $mailheaders = "From: $b_email\r\n";

  $mailheaders .="X-Mailer: PHP Mail generated by:NOP Design Shopping Cart\r\n";

  $subject = "New Online Order";

  mail($youremail, $subject, $strMessageBody, $mailheaders);

}

 

 

The problem is that the $b_first variables etc. are not passing the information to the email body. I only receive the static text (and the $today info)

 

For what it's worth, the script also processes a CSV file, but again only static data is passed to the CSV file, no variables.

Please, I know this is old code, but I am a complete novice who simply wants to receive an online order. Online payments can come later. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi gizmola. My apologies if my language isn't correct.

 

When you state that the "variables are populated by user input fine"  what exactly does that mean? 

 

I mean that the user enters their details in the checkout.html page (for example in the b_first field) and this informaiton is passed to php ok, as I have checked with another small script. I am assuming then that the php form should populate the $b_first variable with the user input (first name) and then this would form part of the email body as in the $strMessageBody .= "$b_first"; ?

 

The email populates the message body (I assume that $strMessageBody is some kind of system understood variable here) with only static text, e.g. $strMessageBody .= "Order Date: $today \n";

 

But not with user entered text - e.g. $strMessageBody .= "$b_first";

 

As for your comment on $_POST superglobal array - I am afriad this is beyond my capabilities! the orignal source code and help forums etc are at http://www.nopdesign.com/freecart

 

Thanks for your assistance.

Hey there. When I submit the order I receive the following on the screen instead of the usual "thanks for your order.."

 

array(37) { ["ID_1"]=> string(5) "care1" ["QUANTITY_1"]=> string(1) "1" ["PRICE_1"]=> string(4) "0.00" ["NAME_1"]=> string(13) "Caribbean Red" ["SHIPPING_1"]=> string(4) "0.00" ["ADDTLINFO_1"]=> string(0) "" ["ID_2"]=> string(5) "resa1" ["QUANTITY_2"]=> string(1) "1" ["PRICE_2"]=> string(5) "40.00" ["NAME_2"]=> string(10) "Red Savina" ["SHIPPING_2"]=> string(4) "0.00" ["ADDTLINFO_2"]=> string(0) "" ["SUBTOTAL"]=> string(6) "R40.00" ["SHIPPING"]=> string(5) "R0.00" ["TAX"]=> string(5) "R0.00" ["TOTAL"]=> string(6) "R40.00" ["b_first"]=> string(6) "Bryan " ["b_last"]=> string(5) "Lanne" ["b_addr"]=> string(17) "6 Yellowood Close" ["b_addr2"]=> string(13) "Somerset West" ["b_addr3"]=> string(0) "" ["b_state"]=> string(2) "wc" ["b_zip"]=> string(4) "7130" ["b_phone"]=> string(10) "0768499170" ["b_fax"]=> string(0) "" ["b_email"]=> string(17) "bryan@lanne.co.za" ["s_first"]=> string(7) "ship to" ["s_last"]=> string(0) "" ["s_addr"]=> string(0) "" ["s_addr2"]=> string(0) "" ["s_city"]=> string(0) "" ["s_state"]=> string(0) "" ["s_zip"]=> string(0) "" ["s_phone"]=> string(0) "" ["s_fax"]=> string(0) "" ["s_email"]=> string(0) "" ["comment"]=> string( "instruct" } 

 

I guess for total clarity (and maximum assistance to you) I should post the whole codes, as below. You may notice I have "rem'd" a few php lines out - due to receiving errors back in the browser. The function doerror etc seems not to be recognised by the browser. Am I perhaps missing some kind of path to the actual PHP binaries?

Ok, you stuck it in the right place.  The problem is that this script appears to assume that the server is using an ancient/deprecated feature known as register_globals.  The individual variables from the form are in the $_POST array as they are supposed to be, but nothing in the code every assigns those values to the individual variable names used later in the script.  Basically what you really need to do is edit the script so that it does this: 

 

$b_first = $_POST['b_first'];

 

You need one of these assignments for every variable that was referenced.  Against my better judgement I will provide you this workaround that in essence recreates register_globals for the form data.

 

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
  if (!isset($$key)) {
    $$key = $value;
  }
}

 

Theoretically replacing the vardump/die with that block of code will make it work, but you could also just declare each variable, which would be more secure.  I'd also recommend using htmlentities on these values to negate the effect of people trying to inject XSS code through your form.

Hey Gizmola, thanks so much!

 

I was earlier thinking about how the script would handle the variables, but I assumed the whole <form action="checkout.php" method="POST" name="checkout" id="checkout" onSubmit="return CheckForm(this)"> command in the checkout.html file (the form) would send all this to the script to interpret (i.e. not needing to manually define the b_first = $_POST['b_first']; etc. as there is already reference to the b_first in the actual form. Whilst I appreciate you providing a solve for me, I'm also the type of person who likes to know what was wrong. If you have the time I would appreciate an explanation as to the need to declare the variables in the php script?

 

 

Can I also assume I am following your instructions correctly by defining each variable as below?

$b_first = $_POST['b_first'];

$b_last = $_POST['b_last'];

$b_email = $_POST['b_email'];

etc

etc

$today = date ("l, F jS Y");

$strMessageBody = "";

$strMessageBody .= "A new order has been received.  A summary of this order appears below.\n";

$strMessageBody .= "\n";

$strMessageBody .= "Order Date: $today \n";

$strMessageBody .= " \n";

etc

etc

And the script that you kindly sent would negate the need to manually enter them all? (although I really don't mind the "long method") - but can you tell me why this is more secure?

 

Once again thanks very much!

Back in the bad old days, you could turn register_globals on, and if it was on, when a form was posted php would take every form variable  (the $_POST['somevar']  and make a variable named $somevar.  This became a source of a lot of exploits since people who figured out what a script was doing could use it to inject variables into scripts by manipulating the HTTP header section.  This is why the feature is deprecated.  It appears this script makes that assumption.  The way php makes POSTed form values available is in the $_POST superglobal array. 

 

As for the rest of your comments, yes you interpreted my response correctly.
