[SOLVED] User inputted text wont show in Email

bfadler · September 25, 2007

I copied the contact_us page,renamed it, and added some fields which I want added to an email. The input fields show on the site but the user inputted text doesn't get added to the email, just the comment text gets added. Its basically going to be an application for employment when done but I'm just trying to get it to work with the four added questions.

no links on the site to get here

www.specialistscaraudio.com/employment.php

I know it has to do with this code but can't get it to work:

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {
    $name = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['name']);
    $email_address = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['email']);
    $enquiry = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['enquiry']);

    if (tep_validate_email($email_address)) {
      tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $enquiry, $name, $email_address, $question_1, $question_2, $question_3, $question_4);

      tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_EMPLOYMENT, 'action=success'));
    } else {
      $error = true;

Here is the table that the fields are in:

<table border="0" width="402" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
              <tr>
                <td colspan="2" class="main"><div align="left"></div></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td height="1" colspan="2" class="infoBox"></td>
              </tr>
              <tr align="center">
                <td colspan="2" class="main"><strong>Please Answer Every Question</strong></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td align="left" class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_NAME; ?></td>
                <td align="right" class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL; ?></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td align="left" class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('name'); ?></td>
                <td align="right" class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('email'); ?></td>
              </tr>

   <td colspan="2" class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_QUESTION_02; ?></td>

</tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('question_4','soft', 25, 1); ?></td>

                <td colspan="2" class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_COMMENTS; ?></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td colspan="2"><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('enquiry', 'soft', 25, 5); ?></td>
              </tr>
            </table>

The functions tep_mail() and tep_redirect() are not defined in your code. Is there more code on your PHP page that you did not include here?

Where are the user defined functions being defined?

tep_validate_email() That is not a php function. There needs to be somewhere it is defined

function tep_validate_email() {

//do stuff

}

bfadler · September 25, 2007

I am not very well versed in php i figured plenty out but still lacking

I hope this is what you mean

they are in this table

starting with <?php echo tep_draw_input_field('name'); ?>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<td colspan="2" class="main"><strong>Please Answer Every Question</strong></td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

<td align="left" class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('name'); ?></td> <----Right Here

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

As for the tep_validate_email function im not sure but if the text box is left blank it throws an email is invalid error

bfadler · September 25, 2007

I found the file where the tep_validate_email() is defined. So it is defined just not in the employment.php file.

suttercain · September 27, 2007

The function must be defined in the same file or as an include into that file.

bfadler · October 1, 2007

The email function is defined in another file (validation.php) and it works. Thats not the issue I'm having though, I added four questions to the contact page, copied and renamed it to employment.php, I also edited includes\languages\english\contact.php and copied and renamed it to employment.php. The first employment.php calls from the second to fill in the users name, email, and comment boxes as well as the added questions. This part works as you can see here http://www.specialistscaraudio.com/employment.php

The issue is when someone puts info into the boxes for the added questions they do not get added to the email when the person hits continue. Only the Name, Email, and Comments get added, like it was still the contact page, is there another file I'm not finding that needs to be edited.
