thealbinomonkey Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I have created a PHP form which has the following code: <?php $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Email from Examples.org"; $message = $_REQUEST["message"]; $email = $_REQUEST["email"]; $name = $_REQUEST["name"]; $url = $_REQUEST["url"]; function is_valid_email($email) { return preg_match('#^[a-z0-9.!\#$%&\'*+-/=?^_`{|}~]+@([0-9.]+|([^\s]+\.+[a-z]{2,6}))$#si', $email); } if (!is_valid_email($email)) { echo 'Sorry, invalid email'; exit; } $headers = "From: $email"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $url); header('Location: http://examples.org/thank-you.html'); ?> But when I receive an email from the form I only get the message in the reply and it does not send me the URL, subject, name or email. Please can someone explain what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly received.

thealbinomonkey Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 I have one question regarding the answer seen here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php if I add the HTML code within message, how do I get it to pull variables from the form? Would it just be "$name" for the name of the user sending the form? Thanks for your help and quick response.

Jessica Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Your message can be a string that has variables in it, yes. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/276549-php-form/#findComment-1422988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealbinomonkey Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hi Jess, thanks for your help here, I have tried a few solutions relating to those articles, firstly: <?php $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Email from 1.org"; $message = ' <html> <head> <title>Submission from contact form at 1.org</title> </head> <body> <p>"$name" has just sent the following message</p> <p>"&message" from "&url"</p> </body> </html> '; $headers = "From: $email"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $url); header('Location: http://1.org/thank-you.html'); ?> and also <?php $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Email from 1.org"; $message = $_REQUEST["message\r\nname\r\nurl\r\nemail"]; $email = $_REQUEST["email"]; function is_valid_email($email) { return preg_match('#^[a-z0-9.!\#$%&\'*+-/=?^_`{|}~]+@([0-9.]+|([^\s]+\.+[a-z]{2,6}))$#si', $email); } if (!is_valid_email($email)) { echo 'Sorry, invalid email'; exit; } $headers = "From: $email"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $url); header('Location: http://1.org/thank-you.html'); ?> And neither of those work, I do not want you to give me the answer I would just like a pointer to let me know if I am going along the right lines?

Jessica Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Jesus Christ. You had all the variables in your first post. Now concatenate them. $email_message = $message."\n".$url etc etc Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/276549-php-form/#findComment-1422993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
