Help me with my Mail script Please

[BigChili]

I created this script that mails me the selections from a webpage's form. There is a place for an attachment. If the user does not add an attachment, the email still comes to me - but it's totally blank. NOTHING!!!! - If they attach a file, no problem, everything comes through just fine including the attachment.

My code is below. To see the form, you can see it at [a href=\"http://www.clownco.com/emb_quote.html\" target=\"_blank\"]www.clownco.com/emb_quote.html[/a].

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks, in advance

Bryan

Hi there i read your post, and i understood what i could, You sate that when a user sends a email message with out a attachment the message dosent have no relavent information within the mail message. but if the user does attach a file you get all the inforation needed i think this is correct ok.

The users that use the mail script will have to be the ones that are a members to your website or all the requast information in your code not work.

Try to logon as a user then just press submit you should receve all the requst information becouse your loged in as a user tyr that first then post your findings.

Make sure that users sendind messages are the users that are logged as a member to your website ok.

good luck.

I think you misunderstood my post somewhat. The problem that I'm having i think you understand. But I'm not sure you understand that there are no users as in "Logged In" users filling the form. This form is for anyone on the internet to fill out. Then the PHP code takes the contents of my form and emails it to ME. Should be very simple.

But I'm so new to PHP.


Anyone know what's going on????

2 options..

1. hire a programmer ;)
2. create an if statement something like

if (didTheyIncludeAttachment == 'true'){
SendEmailWithAttachmentFunction();
}else{
SendEmailWithoutAttachmentFunction();
}

Now, the second option is not the best ever so dont take it to heart. Just trying to help.
