[SOLVED] Simple request

[fredley]

I normally make flash websites, and I use the in-built system for sending form data, which uses a php file. I have a large form to make, and need an html replica. I just need to know how to send the data from the html form to the php file I already have. Most online guides I have read rely on their own php files, I need to be able to use the same one, or at least output the same information (I have written a program to extract the data at the other end).

Thanks

Tom


[code]<?php

$i1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['input1'];
$i2 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['input2'];
$i3 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['input3'];
$i4 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['input4'];
$i5 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['input5'];
...
...
$i48 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['input48'];
$i49 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['input49'];
$i50 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['input50'];


$message = stripslashes($message);

$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Worker Application";

$msg_body = "%%var1%% $i1 %%var2%% $i2 %%var3%% $i3 %%var4%% $i4 %%var5%% $i5 %%var6%% $i6 %%var7%% $i7 %%var8%% $i8 %%var9%% $i9 %%var10%% $i10 %%var11%% $i11 %%var12%% $i12 %%var13%% $i13 %%var14%% $i14 %%var15%% $i15 ... ... %%var48%% $i48 %%var49%% $i49 %%var50% $i50";

$header_info = "From: ".$i1." <".$i2.">";

mail($sendTo, $subject, $msg_body, $header_info);

?>[/code]

Try this: [code]<?php
$msg_body = null;
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
$msg_body .= "Var '{$key}': {$value}\n";
}


mail('[email protected]','Worker Application',$msg_body,"From: {$name} <{$email}>\n\r");
?>[/code]

But where does $name and $email come from??

[fredley]

Sorry, edited it, all should be fine now.

try Daniel0's code. sept wouldnt that also grab the submit button if the OP named and gave it a value, or wouldnt it just grab it anyway...

[fredley]

I'm not sure, I'm pretty new to all this. Is it just me or could Daniel0's code put things in different orders, depending on whether all fields were filled? What I really want to know is what to put into my HTML file, I know I have the <form method="POST" action=""> line, but I don't know how to get that to post to my php file.

[JasonLewis]

in the action part, enter the link to your php file. but Daniel0's code is basicly grabbing all information in the $_POST array and displaying it, or using it as variables...

[fredley]

Yeh thanks, just worked that out, all is fine now!

Thanks for your help.
