Email Subscription not showing name and email

[carter90]

Hi,

 

I am having a problem with this simple form and I can't see why the email is not showing the name and email fields.

The email goes through fine and is recieved but just does not show the name and email field.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

<?php
$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];


$mail_to = '';
$subject = 'Email List Subscription from Toycraft visitor -  '.$field_name;


$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";


$headers = 'From: '.$field_name."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";


$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);


if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank you for your subscription.');
window.location = 'index.php';
</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to studio@');
window.location = 'index.php';
</script>
<?php
}
?>

Have you tried dumping the POST variables to see if they contain what you expect? For example:

 

 

<?php
$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];
 
var_dump($_POST['cf_name']);
?>

Thanks for the reply,

 

I have just tried this and it has come back with NULL so i'm assuming I have definitely gone wrong somewhere?

Hmm...that means the POST variable isn't even being set. Is the form being submitted to the script mentioned in the original post? If so, you should at least get an empty string.

string(0) ""

What does your form code look like?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes that is what I thought. My form code looks ok as far as I know though:

<form action="http:///contact.php" method="post"> <div align="left"> <p><span class="style3">Your name</span>:<span style="text-align: right"></span><br> <input name="cf_name" type="text" style="width:160px" value="" size="25"> <br> <span class="style3">Your e-mail</span>:<br> <input name="cf_email" type="text" style="width:160px" size="25"> </p> <p><br><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Send"> <span style="text-align: right"></span></p> </div> </form>

The contact.php is in the correct place as well otherwise I wouldn't get the emails coming through just no values which is very annoying.
