[SOLVED] email only half works now (i didn't change anything..really)


Recommended Posts

Ok, here's one that has been buggin me all day. The page loads fine, it even emails like it's supposed to. The problem I'm having is that the email is only half complete. The email the page generates is supposed to have a restaurant name and a distributer name.

 

example of a good email:

Ad ordered for $company on $tablename

 

example what I'm getting:

Ad ordered for $company on

 

the $company is the showing up just fine

but the $tablename (which is also the rest_name)

isn't showing up

I had to yank a bunch of code out of the middle to make it fit but all the relevent code should still be there.

Try tracking the value back through your code by printing it out.  First, print it out immediately before the spot where it has the wrong value.  If it's still wrong there, print it out a bit further back.

 

Eventually you will find the exact location at which the value changes from being correct to incorrect (it may even have never been correct from the start).  That's where the bug is.

the weird thing is $company still works just not $tablename

changed $post to $_post['submit']

 

I get these errors:

Ok, just from a quick glance, would i be right in saying you're not getting this table_name from the database? In which case, you need to check your query. The best way is to put the query into a string, so you can echo it out. And dont forget the or die statement:

 

<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM abc_tables INNER JOIN ad_order on abc_tables.table_id = ad_order.cust_id WHERE ad_order.order_id=$ad_num limit 1",$db_link);
$get_tablename = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo $query;
?>

 

That way, you can see exactly what query is being done.

all the drop down menus are being populated from a database

all of the others work (they post like they should) but table_id

even though it populates properly it fails to post

I've made progress....kind of.

I tried to echo the variables:

$get_id_user, $store_for, $stored

I even tried to echo $row['rest_name']

  //which is echoed in the drop down list//

and they all came back empty

but the drop down list populates ok

 

drop down

<option value="<?=$row['table_id'];?>"><? echo $row['rest_name']. ' Set #'.$row['set_no']; ?></option>

 

what i tried to echo

echo $row['rest_name'];

In a nut shell:

when the user fills out the form and clicks submit it generates an email containing the information in the form

 

only part of the information is being "posted" to the email

 

the $fname and $lname are working but the $tablename isn't

 

this works:

											<td width="150">Salesperson</td>
										<td>
										<select name="Got_For" class="formTextbox">
										<? 	
$Get_For = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sales_rep WHERE sales_id='$id'  ORDER by lname", $db_link);
					//$checked = mysql_fetch_array($Get_For); 
						//$Got_For = $checked['sales_id'];
						while($checked=mysql_fetch_array($Get_For)) {
						$Got_For = $checked['sales_id'];
						$lname = $checked['lname'];
						$fname = $checked['fname'];
			 ?><option value="<?=$Got_For;?>"><? echo "$lname, $fname"; ?>
										  
										</option>
			<? } ?>

 

this dosen't:

											<td width="150">Name of Restaurant</td>
										<td>
										<?
											if($under_who) { 
											$Get_id_user = mysql_query("SELECT table_id FROM cust_order WHERE table_id='$under_who'",$db_link);
											$store_for = mysql_fetch_array($Get_id_user);
											$stored = $store_for['table_id'];

											$Get_cust_info = mysql_query("Select table_id, order_id, table_id, contact_fname, contact_lname, rest_name, set_no FROM abc_tables where dist_id='$under_who' AND status_2<'6' order by rest_name, set_no",$db_link);
												$get_er = mysql_fetch_array($Get_cust_info);
											echo '<b>' . $get_er['rest_name'] . '</b>';
											?>
											<input type="hidden" value="<?=$under_who;?>" name="table_id">
											<?
											} else {
											?>
											<select name="table_id" class="formTextbox" size="1">
				  <option value=""> -- Select Your Restaurant -- </option>
				  <?
											 while($row = mysql_fetch_array($Get_Cust)) {
											?>
				  <option value="<?=$row['table_id'];?>"><? echo $row['rest_name']. ' Set #'.$row['set_no']; ?></option>
				  <?
											}
											?>
											  <option value=""> -- Select Delegated Restaurant -- </option>
				  <?
											 while($row = mysql_fetch_array($Get_Delegated)) {
											?>
				  <option value="<?=$row['table_id'];?>"><? echo $row['rest_name']. ' Set #'.$row['set_no']; ?></option>
				  <?
											}
											?>
				</select><? } ?>

 

both are drop down menus on the same page, both populate from the database properly

as it turns out the page is posting the first selection in the database populated dropdown menus no matter what i select

 

the table_id menu is blank when the page loads but the got_for menu has a default value

 

no mater what i select  the posted data is whatever the default value of the drop down menus are. drop downs that are hardcoded on the page post just fine

 

How do i fix that?

or

Lets just start from scratch. How do I email the slection from a dropdow menu that is populated from a database

Here is the page with only the relevent code present. (i just noticed that when I refresh it sends an email, even though I'm not clicking submit)

the drop down named company (hard-coded) posts just fine

but the drop downs that populate from my database are just

posting the default values

I'm an idiot. As it turns out I didn't account for this insert query:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO ad_order VALUES ('','$ad_num','0','$month/$day/$year','','$year$month$day','0','0','','0','$table_id','$Got_For','$company','$company_type','$phone','$fax','$address','$city','$state','$zip','$email','$size','$quote_num','$direction','$cost','$deposit','$check_num','$buyer_name','$ssn','$home_phone','$home_address','$special','$dest_email')",$db_link);

 

when I added two new columns to the database. I needed to add a couple ,'', to get it right again.
