PHP Form is sending blank emails

[mhann90]

Hello, 

 

I don't have much knowledge about coding, and so I use a WYSIWYG builder for my website. 

 

I had a PHP form working perfectly, until I recently changed the design on my website. It is now successfully sending an email to me, but all the fields are blank. I am not sure where I have gone wrong. If anyone could please help me to sort it out?

 

This is the code from my form:

<div id="wb_Form2" style="position:absolute;width:744px;height:838px;">
<form name="query" method="post" action="thank-you.php" enctype="text/plain" id="Form2" onsubmit="return Validatequery(this)">

and this is the code on my thank-you page which has the PHP details on it. The only change I have made here is to delete my SMTP password and username:

<?php

  if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST'){
    header('Refresh: 0; URL=/index.html');
    exit;
  }

	$path = dirname( __FILE__ );
	include $path.'/class.phpmailer.php';

	$tr = $_POST['tour'];
	$ht = $_POST['hotels'];
	$px = $_POST['pax'];
	$dt = $_POST['date'];
	$ds = $_POST['describe'];
	$tl = $_POST['title'];
	$nm = $_POST['name'];
	$sn = $_POST['surname'];
	$em = $_POST['email'];
	$fr = $_POST['from'];
	$tp = $_POST['telephone'];
		

	$message = 	"Which tour caught your eye? = " . $tr . "<br />" .
			"Your preferred level of accommodation = " . $ht . "<br />" .
			"Who'll be travelling? = " . $px . "<br />" .
			"When will you travel to India? = " . $dt . "<br />" .
			"Describe your ideal journey = " . $ds . "<br />" .
			"<hr>" .
			"Name = " . $tl . " " . $nm . " " . $sn . "<br />" .
			"Email = " . $em . "<br />" .
			"From = " . $fr . "<br />" .
			"Telephone = " . $tp . "<br />";
	
	
	$mail = new PHPMailer();
	
	$mail->IsSMTP();                                      // set mailer to use SMTP
	$mail->Host = "mail.rajasthantourpackage.co";  // specify main and backup server cp-2.webhostbox.net
	$mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication
	$mail->Username = "query@rajasthantourpackage.co";  // SMTP username
	$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP password
	
	$mail->From = "query@rajasthantourpackage.co";
	$mail->FromName = "Web Enquiry";
	$mail->AddAddress("my email");
	$mail->AddAddress("second email");
	
	$mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 // set word wrap to 50 characters
	$mail->IsHTML(true);                                  // set email format to HTML
	
	$mail->Subject = "Web Enquiry from " . $tl . " ". $nm . " " . $sn;
	$mail->Body    = $message;
	
	if(!$mail->Send())
	{
	   echo "Message could not be sent.>";
	   //echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
	   exit;
	}
?>

Thank you so much if you can help. Tearing my hair out!!

have you tryed dumping the post array to see if there are values in them when the page sends the info to it? var_dump($_POST); would show it.

I'm not sure why, but the enctype="text/plain" in the open <form> tag doesn't work with PHP.
