Ben_in_CA Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hello! I have a script on a website that is supposed to email users messages/alerts, and it was working fine on PHP 5.2, but doesn't work on PHP 5.4. It doesn't include any of the $variables in the email it sends. Any ideas? The webpage shows correctly, says it was sent, and sends a mostly blank email. (This is not all the code, but the important workings of it.) Is there something I need to reference differently for 5.4? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! <?php if (isset($acode) && $acode != 'unset') { echo"<div style=\"font-size: 110%\">Send an Alert for:<br /><b> $location > $dept > $alert</b> <br /><br /> </div> <form name=\"alert\" onsubmit=\"return isReady(this)\" action=\"$formaction\" method=\"POST\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Location\" value=\"$location\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Department\" value=\"$dept\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Code\" value=\"$acode\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Alert\" value=\"$alert\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Contacts\" value=\"$tocode\"> Your name: <br /> <input type=\"text\" name=\"Name\" size=\"40\" maxlength=\"70\" value=\" Required\" onfocus=\"if(this.value==' Required')this.value='';\" onblur=\"if(this.value=='')this.value=' Required';\"><br /> <br /> Your e-mail address: <br /> <input type=\"text\" name=\"Email\" size=\"40\" maxlength=\"90\" value=\" Required\" onfocus=\"if(this.value==' Required')this.value='';\" onblur=\"if(this.value=='')this.value=' Required';\"><br /> <br /> Brief message: <span style=\"color: #666666; font-size: 70%\"> Please keep in point form if possible. </span> <br /> <textarea name=\"Message\" cols=\"65\" rows=\"7\" maxlength=\"5000\"> </textarea> <span class=\"smbr\"> <br /> <br /> </span> <br /> <div style=\"color: #666666; font-size: 70%; text-indent: 50px\"> All fields required.
