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

[siral3x]

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('xxx@yahoo.com,$name,$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 = "xxx@yahoo.com",
$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]

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..

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]

"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 = "xxx@yahoo.com",

$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]

No.

 

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

<?php
$to = "xxx@yahoo.com",
$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 = "xxx@yahoo.com",

 

Is it because I don't have sendmail installed?

 

 

[kenrbnsn]

Replace the ending comma with a semi-colon.

 

Ken

[siral3x]

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]

Sorry, I'm half asleep also ...

Change to:

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

$tmp = array();
foreach($_POST as $fld => $val)
    if ($fld != 'submit')
        $tmp[] = $fld . ': ' . stripslashes($val);
$body = implode("\r\n",$tmp) . "\r\n";
$headers = 'From: ' . $_POST['name'] . ' <' . $_POST['mail'] . '>';
