Hello.  I'm trying to format a form to arrive via email.  The form works but it sends the code in html code and does not show up in the table that it should.  I have no idea what I'm doing (can't help but be honest).  I really could use some help until my pHp class starts this semester.


Here's how it reads when it comes through via email to me:

""<table border="1"><tr><td> Order Submission</td></tr>
<tr><th>Name</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Phone</th>
<th>E-mail</th>
<th>Show Location</th>
<th>Show Date</th>
</tr>
<tr><td>  </td>
<td>  </td>
<td>    </td>
<td> </td>
<td> szukteam@yahoo.com</td>
<td></td>
<td>  </td>
</tr></table>

<table border="1"><tr><td> Photo Selections </td></tr>
<tr>
<th>First Selection</th>
<th>Second Selection</th>
<th>Third Selection</th>
<th>Fourth Selection</th>
<th>Fifth Selection</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>    </td>
<td>    </td>
<td>    </td>
<td>    </td>
<td>    </td>
</tr>
</table>

<table border="1"><tr><td> Special Instructions </td></tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>""

[color=green]This is what the php page looks like:[/color]

Read just this part:
[code]
$content="
<table border=\"1\"><tr><td> Order Submission</td></tr>
<tr><th>Name</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Phone</th>
<th>E-mail</th>
<th>Show Location</th>
<th>Show Date</th>
</tr>
<tr><td> ". $_POST['first_name'] . "  ". $_POST['last_name'] . "</td>
<td>". $_POST['mailing_address'] ."  ". $_POST['2nd_line_address'] . "</td>
<td>". $_POST['city'] ."  ". $_POST['state'] . "  ". $_POST['zipcode'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['phone_number'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['email'] ."</td>
<td>". $_POST['show_location'] ."</td>
<td>". $_POST['month'] ."  ". $_POST['date'] . "</td>
</tr></table>

<table border=\"1\"><tr><td> Photo Selections </td></tr>
<tr>
<th>First Selection</th>
<th>Second Selection</th>
<th>Third Selection</th>
<th>Fourth Selection</th>
<th>Fifth Selection</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> ". $_POST['1st_image_number'] . "  ". $_POST['1st_photo_class'] . "  ". $_POST['1st_photo_size'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['2nd_image_number'] . "  ". $_POST['2nd_photo_class'] . "  ". $_POST['2nd_photo_size'] . "</td>

<td> ". $_POST['5th_image_number'] . "  ". $_POST['5th_photo_class'] . "  ". $_POST['5th_photo_size'] . "</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table border=\"1\"><tr><td> Special Instructions </td></tr>
<tr>
<td> ". $_POST['special_instructions'] ."</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>";

//send
mail('info@sitesbykate.com', 'testing formmail', $content);
?>[/code]

And you should be able to tell why it's only sending that.  ;)

You give me more credit than I deserve  :D
I've looked at this for a week now. And I've put it away and come back.

I know NOTHING about php, I've tried to "frankenstein" it from forms that I know work until I can learn this stuff.

Please...a bigger hint? Or for kicks...tell me what I did? 

THank you!  :-*

Yep, that's what I was pointing out.

After doing some reading, I think this will do what you want:
[code]
<?php
$content="
<html><body><table border=\"1\"><tr><td> Order Submission</td></tr>
<tr><th>Name</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Phone</th>
<th>E-mail</th>
<th>Show Location</th>
<th>Show Date</th>
</tr>
<tr><td> ". $_POST['first_name'] . "  ". $_POST['last_name'] . "</td>
<td>". $_POST['mailing_address'] ."  ". $_POST['2nd_line_address'] . "</td>
<td>". $_POST['city'] ."  ". $_POST['state'] . "  ". $_POST['zipcode'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['phone_number'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['email'] ."</td>
<td>". $_POST['show_location'] ."</td>
<td>". $_POST['month'] ."  ". $_POST['date'] . "</td>
</tr></table>

<table border=\"1\"><tr><td> Photo Selections </td></tr>
<tr>
<th>First Selection</th>
<th>Second Selection</th>
<th>Third Selection</th>
<th>Fourth Selection</th>
<th>Fifth Selection</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> ". $_POST['1st_image_number'] . "  ". $_POST['1st_photo_class'] . "  ". $_POST['1st_photo_size'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['2nd_image_number'] . "  ". $_POST['2nd_photo_class'] . "  ". $_POST['2nd_photo_size'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['3rd_image_number'] . "  ". $_POST['3rd_photo_class'] . "  ". $_POST['3rd_photo_size'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['4th_image_number'] . "  ". $_POST['4th_photo_class'] . "  ". $_POST['4th_photo_size'] . "</td>
<td> ". $_POST['5th_image_number'] . "  ". $_POST['5th_photo_class'] . "  ". $_POST['5th_photo_size'] . "</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table border=\"1\"><tr><td> Special Instructions </td></tr>
<tr>
<td> ". $_POST['special_instructions'] ."</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>";
mail('info@sitesbykate.com', 'testing formmail', $content,
    "To: Kate <info@sitesbykate.com>\n" .
    "From: The Sender <sender@some.net>\n" .
    "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
    "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");
?>
[/code]

Thank you, I'll try this.  I did insert the head, body, etc in what I'd done originally.  It still came through the same way- only showed what I added. It's great for someone who reads html-- sucks otherwise.

I'll see if I can get this to work. 
I appreciate it.
