Form to mail trouble :(

[moltenice]

Hi! I was looking for some help in mailing a form on my website to myself. i created one but i think there is a glitch in my coding. Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

My Codes:

HTML:

[code]

<form method="POST" action="http://moltenice.9999mb.com/Login.php">

<p>Login:<br>
<input type="text" name="name">
<p>Password:<br>
<input type="text" name="age">
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<p>

[/code]


And my PHP:

[code]

<?
 
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "dabrainstabber@gmail.com";
$EmailTo = "dabrainstabber@gmail.com";
$Subject = "FON Pass";
$Login = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Login']));
$Password = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Password']));

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "name: ";
$Body .= $name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "age: ";
$Body .= $age;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body);

// redirect to success page
if ($success){
  echo "Done, Thank You";

      } else
        echo "An error occurred! Please try again.";

?>

[/code]

It always gives me An Error Occured echo :(

can someone tell me what I did wrong??

[move]Thanks!![/move]

two things that i noticed.........

1.
[code]
$Login = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Login'])); //your form variable name is not 'Login', it is 'name'
$Password = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Password'])); //form variable is 'age' not 'Password'
[/code]
2.
[code]
// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "name: ";
$Body .= $name;//needs to be $Login
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "age: ";
$Body .= $age;//needs to be $Password
$Body .= "\n";
[/code]

You are just missing 'value' in your HTML file

It should be like this

[code]
<input type="text" name="name" value="">
<input type="text" name="age" value="">
[/code]

Cheers!

What is this

<form method="POST" action="http://moltenice.9999mb.com/Login.php">  ???

in action just use this filename where you want to perform the action . no need to pass all the URL.
If action is in same page just use

action="<?echo $PHP_SELF;?>"

actually, i just upload the php to that site. I run HTML from my desktop as I think i do not need to upload it as well. So i put the complete link. could this be the reason why it doesn't work?? Plz let me know...

If not... plz tell me wat I have done wrong... thx ;)

(P.S. perhaps 9999mb.com isn't a good host?? maybe someone could upload the script to theirs and see if it worked?? THX!!!)

Here is the PHP part of your script where you had an error:

[code]
PHP:
<?

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "name: ";
$Body .= $Login; //
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "age: ";
$Body .= $Password;
$Body .= "\n";
[/code]

Is everything working now?  ;D

[moltenice]

[Adika]

Yess lool... plz hlp... thx

Well, in this part of your code:

PHP:
<?
$EmailFrom = "dabrainstabber@gmail.com";
$EmailTo = "dabrainstabber@gmail.com";
$Subject = "FON Pass";
[color=red]$Login[/color] = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
[color=red]$Password[/color] = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['age']));


you created the variables: $Login and $Password.
$Login is a value for the name field and $Password is a value for age field.
When user enters data in form into age and name fields and submits the form, $Login holds the name value and $Password holds the age value. So, now you have two variables: $Login and $Password.

In the second part of your code:


// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "name: ";
$Body .= [color=red]$name;[/color]
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "age: ";
$Body .= [color=red]$age;[/color]
$Body .= "\n"


you are preapering the email body which will you send to yourself. For name value you use $name and for age value you use $age. But the name value was assigned to $Login so no $name variable exist in your script. The age value was assigned to $Password variable, so no $age variable exist. That's why you need to change the $name to $Login and $age to $Password in the second part of the code.

Or, if you want that the second part be untouched, change the first part's $Login into $name and $Password into $age:


PHP:
<?
$EmailFrom = "dabrainstabber@gmail.com";
$EmailTo = "dabrainstabber@gmail.com";
$Subject = "FON Pass";
[color=red]$Login[/color] = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
[color=red]$Password[/color] = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['age']));
