LOST emailing a form! Need help badd! thx in advance

siral3x · April 18, 2007

I got the following code:

<?php

@extract($_POST);

$name = stripslashes($name);

$last_name = stripslashes($last_name);

$address = stripslashes($address);

$city = stripslashes($city);

$state = stripslashes($state);

$zip = stripslashes($zip);

$country = stripslashes($country);

$mail = stripslashes($mail);

$tel = stripslashes($tel);

$pen = stripslashes($pen);

$hemp = stripslashes($hemp);

$hbracelet = stripslashes($hbracelet);

$key_chain = stripslashes($key_chain);

$earrings = stripslashes($earrings);

$zipper = stripslashes($zipper);

$s_beads = stripslashes($s_beads);

mail('[email protected],$name,$last_name,$address,$city,$state,$zip,$country,$mail,$tel,$pen,$hemp,$hbracelet,$key_chain,$earrings,$zipper,$s_beads, "From: $name <$mail>");

header("location:form.php");

?>

IS THIS going to work?? I mean, am I going to recive all the info in those fields or not??

I'm lost...I'm not sure if I'm on the right track.

thx

No, that is not going to work. The mail() function takes at most 5 parameters:

1) To

2) Subject

3) Body

4) Additional headers (optional, but really should be used to set the From address)

5) Additional parameters (rarely used by most people)

See the manual page for the function.

The simplest way of getting the results you want is:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]",
$subject = "Put your subject line here";
$tmp = array();
foreach($_POST as $fld => $val)
    if ($fld != 'submit') // or whatever your submit button is named
        $tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($val);
$body = implode("\r\n",$tmp) . "\r\n";
$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $mail . '>'; // doing this can be very dangerous and can open your form up to spammers
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
?>

In your example where do I add the extra $Last_name,$address, $city variables to mail them???

or how do I mail all those vars?

thx a lot!!!

kenrbnsn · April 18, 2007

This section:

<?php
foreach($_POST as $fld => $val)
    if ($fld != 'submit') // or whatever your submit button is named
        $tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($val);
?>

adds all the fields in the $_POST array into a temporary array.

And this line:

<?php
$body = implode("\r\n",$tmp) . "\r\n";
?>

puts all of them into the $body variable with a newline after each.

SO I need like :

foreach($_POST as $fld => $name)

if ($fld != 'submit') // or whatever your submit button is named

$tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($name);

foreach($_POST as $fld => $last_name)

if ($fld != 'submit') // or whatever your submit button is named

$tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($last_name);

foreach($_POST as $fld => $address)

if ($fld != 'submit') // or whatever your submit button is named

$tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($address);

etc..

CORRECT???

Then :

$body = implode("\r\n",$tmp) . "\r\n";

$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $mail . '>';

mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);

And that's it??

Sorry for all these questions, but I'm very new to php.

No you will only need to call this once, it will go through every vaiable until all are put into the array and ready for sending:

foreach($_POST as $fld => $val)

if ($fld != 'submit') // or whatever your submit button is named

$tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($val);

The foreach really does mean foreach, whether it is 1 or 100 variable items, they will all be input with that simple code.

siral3x · April 18, 2007

"they will all be imput" is all I needed to know!!!

My process.php file should look like this???? :

<?php

@extract($_POST);

$name = stripslashes($name);

$last_name = stripslashes($last_name);

$address = stripslashes($address);

$city = stripslashes($city);

$state = stripslashes($state);

$zip = stripslashes($zip);

$country = stripslashes($country);

$mail = stripslashes($mail);

$tel = stripslashes($tel);

$pen = stripslashes($pen);

$hemp = stripslashes($hemp);

$hbracelet = stripslashes($hbracelet);

$key_chain = stripslashes($key_chain);

$earrings = stripslashes($earrings);

$zipper = stripslashes($zipper);

$s_beads = stripslashes($s_beads);

$to = "[email protected]",

$subject = "Put your subject line here";

$tmp = array();

foreach($_POST as $fld => $val)

if ($fld != 'submit')

$tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($val);

$body = implode("\r\n",$tmp) . "\r\n";

$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $mail . '>';

mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);

?>

Did I got it right? OR I don't have to declare all the var??? It will auto imput them?

kenrbnsn · April 18, 2007

No.

You're entire process.php file should look like:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]",
$subject = "Put your subject line here";
$tmp = array();
foreach($_POST as $fld => $val)
    if ($fld != 'submit')
        $tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($val);
$body = implode("\r\n",$tmp) . "\r\n";
$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $mail . '>';
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
?>

Putting all the values into separate variables is just more work for you that is not needed.

Parse error: parse error in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\process.php on line 2

Line 2 would be:

$to = "[email protected]",

Is it because I don't have sendmail installed?

kenrbnsn · April 18, 2007

Replace the ending comma with a semi-colon.

Ken

siral3x · April 18, 2007

Ha, I noticed that it's 1 AM here

line 9: $headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $mail . '>';

Undefined variable: name

Undefined variable: mail

This one I'm clueless

kenrbnsn · April 18, 2007

Sorry, I'm half asleep also ...

Change to:

<?php
$headers = 'From: ' . $_POST['name'] . ' <' . $_POST['mail'] . '>';
?>

Ken

siral3x · April 18, 2007

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your

siral3x · May 13, 2007

code for "process.php" :

<?php

$to = "[email protected]"

$subject = "Put your subject line here";

$tmp = array();

foreach($_POST as $fld => $val)

if ($fld != 'submit')

$tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($val);

$body = implode("\r\n",$tmp) . "\r\n";

$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $mail . '>';

mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);

echo "<h5>YOUR REQUEST HAS BEEN SENT! WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU SOON!</h5>";

?>

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /process.php"

I don't get it, it worked fine with my php version...now I uploaded the files on the web hosting server and I get this error???

What to do??

Alex

siral3x · May 13, 2007

ok...apparently I was missing a semi colon

siral3x · May 14, 2007

OK, I'm DESPERATE, I get no errors but the date won't be emailed at all

I have 2 files: form.html and process.php

form.html

<form action="process.php" method="post">
<table border=1>
<tr>
<tr>
<td>First name:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$name" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Last name:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$last_name" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$address" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$city" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>State:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$state" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Postal Code:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$zip" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Country:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$country" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>E-mail:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$mail" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Telephone:</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="$tel" size="15" maxlength="30"></td>
</tr>
</table>

--------------

then I have process.php

<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Put your subject line here";
$tmp = array();
foreach($_POST as $fld => $val)
    if ($fld != 'submit')
        $tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($val);
$body = implode("\r\n",$tmp) . "\r\n";
$headers = 'From: ' . $_POST['name'] . ' <' . $_POST['mail'] . '>';
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
echo "<h5>YOUR REQUEST HAS BEEN SENT! WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU SOON!</h5>";
?>

I receive no errors but nothing works..I don't receive the email with the collected data.

NOW what??

THX in advance
