imax Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hi, I have put a sendmail script together but I am having problems with it. Any help would be appreciated. ok I have a simple form below is the code: <form action=script/sendmail.php method=post> <table border=0> <tr> <td>Name:</td><td><input type=text name=name size=40></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td><td align=center><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit> <input type=reset Value=Reset></td> </tr> </table> </form> It's just a simple form to get me used to phps built in mail function. Ok I have made an input field and named it and actioned it to post to a sendmail script. Below is my sendmail script: <?php $name = $_GET['name']; $to = "some@whereonthenet.com"; $subject = "My Website Test"; $message = "Name: \t $name \n"; mail($to, $subject, $message); echo "<html><head><title>My Site</title></head>"; echo "<body><p><font size=6>Thankyou,</font></p>"; echo "<p>Your Mail has been sent</p><p><a href=../index.html>Return</a></p>"; echo "</body></html>"; ?> As you can see it's nothing fancy and probably looks like most all other simple mail scripts. Problem is when this script E-mails me the info I get this below: Name: As you can see it puts in the Name: and a tab in but once it gets to the variable it's missing it. Everything else works I even inserted a php.ini in the same folder as my script regestering globals as on and different ways of writing the script within my scope. I have not been useing php for long and know the basics of what I am doing and this is basically one of my first scripts. Can someone please tell me where I went wrong as this is starting to drive me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalgod Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 your form is using the post method so just replace $_GET['name'] by $_POST['name'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
