Help needed, can't get form details in email

[xxshadowxx]

Hi All,

 

I would appreciate if someone can help me with the below coding:

 

In HTML:

 

<h4>Contact Form</h4>
                <div class="status alert alert-success" style="display: none"></div>

                <form id="main-contact-form" class="contact-form" name="contact-form" method="post" action="sendemail.php">
                  <div class="row-fluid">
                    <div class="span5">
                        <label>First Name*</label>
                        <input type="text" class="input-block-level" required="required" placeholder="Your First Name" method="post">
                        <label>Last Name*</label>
                        <input type="text" class="input-block-level" required="required" placeholder="Your Last Name" method="post">
                        <label>Email Address*</label>
                        <input type="text" class="input-block-level" required="required" placeholder="Your email address" method="post">
                    </div>
                    <div class="span7">
                        <label>Telephone Number*</label>
                        <input type="tel" class="input-block-level" required="required" placeholder="Your telephone number" method="post">
                        <label>Message*</label>
                        <textarea name="message" id="message" required="required" class="input-block-level" rows="15" method="post"></textarea>
                    </div>

                </div>
                <button type="submit" value="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-large pull-right" method="post">Send Message</button>
                <p> </p>

            </form>

 

 

In sendemail.php:

 

<?php
    header('Content-type: application/json');
    $status = array(
        'type'=>'success',
        'message'=>'Email sent!'
    );

    $first_name = $_GET['first_name'];
    $last_name = $_GET['last_name'];
    $email = $_GET['email'];
    $subject = $_GET['subject'];
    $message = $first_name . " " . $last_name . " wrote the following:" . "\n\n" . $_GET['message'];

    $email_from = $_GET['email'];
    $email_to = 'example@example.com';

    $body = 'Name: ' . $name . "\n\n" . 'Email: ' . $email . "\n\n" . 'Subject: ' . $subject . "\n\n" . 'Message: ' . $message . "";

    $success = @mail($email_to, $subject, $body, 'From: <'.$email_from.'>');

    echo json_encode($status);
    die;

 

Could someone tell me which part is wrong? I manage to receive email from contact form but no message is displayed in the mail as well as from the sender.

 

Appreciate the prompt assistance.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Randy

in your form:

method="post"

 

what you are looking for is $_GET, use the same method

Hi QuickOldCar,

 

You're saying I should get, so which part of the form should I use get?

Under HTML, <button type="submit" value="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-large pull-right" method="post">Send Message</button> or ?

You're saying I should get, so which part of the form should I use get?

No, I meant...

If you are using post as the method in your form check for $_POST values.

If you use get as the method in the form check for $_GET values.
