[SOLVED] Form post not working

[ShaolinF]

Hi Guys,

 

I've made a small script where my users can enter their usernames into a form and when they press submit it sends the username to me as an email. It doesn't seem to be working though. Check the code:

 

This is the HTML page:

<form method="post" action="redirect.php" onsubmit="return Submitted(this);">
<input type="hidden" name="username1" id="username1" value="tech" size="20" />

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function Submitted(form) 
{
if(form.validator.value == "")
{
	window.location="retry.php";
	return false;
} 
}
//-->
</script>

<button type="submit" value="Continue">Continue</button>

 

Redirect.php script:

<?php
//add cookie
$value = 'visit';
setcookie("visit", $value, time()+103200);  /* expires in 24+ hours */

//grab IP
$ip = ('IP: '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'.'); 

//send email
$msg .= ".\n";  
$msg .= "Email:    $username1\n";  
$msg .= "IP:     $ip\n";
$msg .= ".\n";  
$to = "myemail@googlemail.com";  
$subject = "Mail";  
$mailheaders = "From:  $Email <> \n";  
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $sender_email\n\n";  
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);  
//redirect
header ("location: http://www.redirectsite.com");

?>

ive had this problem before.

 

firstly, are you actually receiving the email?  i know that ive had a similar script, that hasnt sent the email.  and i think that the javascript function was overiding the form submit thingy.  which means that you may have to include javascript to actually a) submit the form or b0 send the data to the next page.

 

hope that helps

I get the email, the IP shows but the username doesnt.

[ShaolinF]

Any ideas people ?  ??? I still can't work it out.

[jitesh]

Its shows <form>

 

Where is </form> ?

[ShaolinF]

Sorry I forgot to include that in the code. It's in the original though. Argh everything is right, why isnt it working..!

[jitesh]

Why if(form.validator.value == "") ?

 

I do not found "validator" in form.

[ShaolinF]

Sorry that was some other input field which I've removed now.

[jitesh]

<form method="post" action="redirect.php">

<button type="submit" value="Continue">Continue</button>

<?php
//grab IP
$ip = ('EE: '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'.'); 
//send email
$msg = "Email\n";
$msg .= ".\n";  
$msg .= "Email:    $Email\n";    
$msg .= "IP:     $ip\n";
$msg .= ".\n";  
$to = "mymail@googlemail.com";  
$subject = "Email";  
$mailheaders = "From:  $Email <> \n";  
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $sender_email\n\n";  
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);  
//redirect
