PHP Blank Emails...

MoSachy · February 22, 2018

Please help,

I've looked at other peoples similar issues yet they do not seem to fix mine. I can't troubleshoot the PHP mistake I apparently made...

Basically the email is blank once it is submitted, whatever is entered in the fields is not translated into the email. What am i doing wrong? The site is hosted by GoDaddy if that helps. I receive the email and it looks like the following :

Once I know for a fact that the emails are not blank I'm change the forwarding email to admin@expresswayship.com from my email (mohamadt_99@yahoo.com)

Forgive me for it's been a while since I've posted anything on a forum.

HERE IS MY PHP FILE CALLED "contact3.php"

<?php

	$webMaster = 'mohamadt_99@yahoo.com';
    $emailSubject = 'Shipping Quote Request';

/* Gathering Data Variables */

	$pickupField = $_POST['pickup'];
	$dropoffField = $_POST['dropoff'];
	$yearField = $_POST['year'];
	$makeField = $_POST['make'];
	$modelField = $_POST['model'];
	$runningField = $_POST['running'];
    $nonrunningField = $_POST['nonrunning'];
	$nameField = $_POST['name'];
	$emailField = $_POST['email'];

	$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
PickUp: $pickup <br>
Drop Off: $dropoff <br>
Year: $year <br>
Make: $make <br>
Model: $model <br>
Running: $running <br>
Non-Running: $nonrunning <br>
Name: $name <br>
Email: $email <br>
EOD;

	$headers = "from: $email\r\n";
	$headers .= "content-type: text/html\r\n";
	$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

/* Results rendered as HTML*/

	$theResults = <<<EOD

Please educate me! I'm stumped! Thank you for your time.

You're stumped? You really can't see what the problem is? Really really?

Here's my advice: step away from your computer for a bit. Get some food. Take a nap. Watch some TV. I don't know but something that isn't with your computer. Half an hour or so.

Then come back and take a second look at your code.

hahahh.... I do that ALL the time!!!! I use beer!

dalecosp · February 23, 2018

hahahh.... I do that ALL the time!!!! I use beer!

Well, go drink it in the "field", and leave the "field" outside ... ?

benanamen · February 23, 2018

The step away works every time. I just had to do it as recent as last night.

dodgeitorelse3 · February 23, 2018

Just compare lines 8-16 to lines 20-28 of your code posted above for contact3.php.

gizmola · February 24, 2018

Clearly this is a case of PEBKAC -> "Problem exists between keyboard and chair"

$pickupField = $_POST['pickup'];
// A few lines later...
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>

PickUp: $pickup <br>

Things like var_dump() are real helpful in these situations.

LOL, that will teach me to stock the fridge. thank you guys, I guess late night sessions and no beer don't mix, thank you again! :facepalm: :facewall:
