Form Emailer will not reach success page

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

I have a form emailer in php that will not reach the success/failure page but does sent email successfully. I sends me to my requester.php file instead of requestsuccess.php

Form Code

<?php
/* Is User Logged In? */
session_start();
// this is just your every day page where you would want someone logged in to view the info
if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == TRUE) { // user is logged in
print '';
} elseif ($_SESSON['loggedin'] == FALSE) { // user is not logged in
header("location:no.php"); // Use is not logged in. Send to notloggedinpage.php
      exit;
}
?>

You want to send it to requestsuccess.php?

<form name="form1" method="post" action="requester.php" style="width: 360px; height: 201px">

Change it to...

<form name="form1" method="post" action="requestsuccess.php" style="width: 360px; height: 201px">

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

no i want to send it to requester.php to process it and on success send it too requestsuccess.php

LiamProductions · September 30, 2007

I don't understand. Can you explain more?\

shocker-z · September 30, 2007

What do you get on that page?

Try this incase errors are turned off.. also ive added 2 echos to see if it's submitted but im sure it will be an error..

<?

error_reporting('E_ALL');

$name = $_POST["name"];

$email = $_POST["email"];

$person = $_POST["person"];

$reason = $_POST["reason"];

$today = date("d, M Y");

$recipient = "millercj@etown.edu";

$subject = "Prayer Request";

$forminfo ="Prom: $name\nEmail: $email\nForm Submitted: $today\nPerson to add: $person\nReason: $reason\n\n";

$sent = mail($recipient, $subject, $forminfo, "From: $email");

if($sent)

{

header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestsuccess.php");

echo 'success';

}

else

{

header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestno.php");

echo 'failed';

}

?>

also do you receive the email??

Regards

Liam

LiamProductions · September 30, 2007

oh right...

Im not sure if this is what you mean?

<?
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$person = $_POST["person"];
$reason = $_POST["reason"];
$today = date("d, M Y");
$recipient = "millercj@etown.edu";
$subject = "Prayer Request";
$forminfo ="Prom: $name\nEmail: $email\nForm Submitted: $today\nPerson to add: $person\nReason: $reason\n\n";
$sent = mail($recipient, $subject, $forminfo, "From: $email");
if($sent)
{
  header("Location: portal/requestsuccess.php");
}
else
{
  header("Location: portal/requestno.php");
}
?>

Try that you can only put where the document is in the header you can't put http://www.------.com

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

ok...there is a form whose code is

<?php
/* Is User Logged In? */
session_start();
// this is just your every day page where you would want someone logged in to view the info
if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == TRUE) { // user is logged in
print '';
} elseif ($_SESSON['loggedin'] == FALSE) { // user is not logged in
header("location:no.php"); // Use is not logged in. Send to notloggedinpage.php
      exit;
}
?>

              </font></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
      </form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

when the user clicks submit it references requester.php for its instructions on what to do. That is this code:

<?
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$person = $_POST["person"];
$reason = $_POST["reason"];
$today = date("d, M Y");
$recipient = "millercj@etown.edu";
$subject = "Prayer Request";
$forminfo ="From: $name\nEmail: $email\nForm Submitted: $today\nPerson to add: $person\nReason: $reason\n\n";
$sent = mail($recipient, $subject, $forminfo, "From: $email");
if($sent)
{
  header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestsuccess.php");}
else
{
  header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestno.php");
}
?>

if you look at the last directive it supposed to send the user to requestsuccess.php if it succeeds. It is succeeding because the emails are sending but instead of sending the user to the page it's just displaying a blank white screen (which i believe is requester.php) something isn't allowing it to redirect the user.

I hope that makes it clearer

LiamProductions · September 30, 2007

Does it work now?

{The code i sent above your post}

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

no, i still get the same thing...blank white screen

LiamProductions · September 30, 2007

Whats on requestsuccess.php?

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

and for shocker-z using your code it says "success"

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

this is requestsuccess.php

<?php
/* Is User Logged In? */
session_start();
// this is just your every day page where you would want someone logged in to view the info
if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == TRUE) { // user is logged in
print '';
} elseif ($_SESSON['loggedin'] == FALSE) { // user is not logged in
header("location:no.php"); // Use is not logged in. Send to notloggedinpage.php
      exit;
}
?>

shocker-z · September 30, 2007

remove

<?php

/* Is User Logged In? */

session_start();

// this is just your every day page where you would want someone logged in to view the info

if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == TRUE) { // user is logged in

print '';

} elseif ($_SESSON['loggedin'] == FALSE) { // user is not logged in

header("location:no.php"); // Use is not logged in. Send to notloggedinpage.php

exit;

}

?>

and see what you get then mate.. if you get the success page then your looking at an issue with

the code u removed

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

that didn't fix it either

shocker-z · September 30, 2007

what about if you log in then just type the address into your addressbar?

http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestsuccess.php

as when i goto that i get "Your request has been submitted successfully!"

but before when you had the code in place i got a load of fd;lgadfm'lgdlk;fgn;lsn kind of thing (not a quote)

Could be your browser cache..

Liam

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

right, the jumbled letters was simply my not yet in place access denied page

shocker-z · September 30, 2007

yeah i thought so.. kinda thing i do too lol

can u now see the success page? or still blank?

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

i can see it if i navigate too it but not through the form success (which has been the case all along). That still shows me a white screen. I removed both header(Location:) clauses and replaced them with a print'yes'; and print'no'; and that worked. It's definatly something with my head(Location:) but i dont see it where

shocker-z · September 30, 2007

create a page with just this in it

<?php
header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestsuccess.php");
?>

Does that work?

Have you got public details i couyld try your page with? if so make sure you put the header locations back in before i test.

Liam

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

yes that script did work.

what do you mean by public details. If you'd like i can give you a login so you can test it...there's really no information in our secure area yet

shocker-z · September 30, 2007

yeah please

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

ok the username is shocker and password is 1234

login here:

http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/login.php

ignore the annoying background the window launches at 600x350 once it logs you in click prayer chain and then the "add a name button to reach the form"

shocker-z · September 30, 2007

hjmmm very weird i get a blank page also..

one thing i can see you missing is session_start(); from the top of your page that sends the email.

try this as this works for me

<?
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$person = $_POST["person"];
$reason = $_POST["reason"];
$today = date("d, M Y");
$recipient = "millercj@etown.edu";
$subject = "Prayer Request";
$forminfo ="From: $name\nEmail: $email\nForm Submitted: $today\nPerson to add: $person\nReason: $reason\n\n";
$sent = false;
if($sent)
{
  header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestsuccess.php");}
else
{
  header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestno.php");
}
?>

just incase it's an issue with you mail()

cfgcjm · September 30, 2007

that code gives the same result

what & where do you mean i'm missing session start?

shocker-z · September 30, 2007

seems like there is some issue on your server then preventing you from sending the header location..

<?
session_start();
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$person = $_POST["person"];
$reason = $_POST["reason"];
$today = date("d, M Y");
$recipient = "millercj@etown.edu";
$subject = "Prayer Request";
$forminfo ="From: $name\nEmail: $email\nForm Submitted: $today\nPerson to add: $person\nReason: $reason\n\n";
$sent = mail($recipient, $subject, $forminfo, "From: $email");
if($sent)
{
  header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestsuccess.php");}
else
{
  header("Location:http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestno.php");
}
?>

if your not having start_session(); at the top as above then your session will end and all $_SESSION variables will be lost.
