[SOLVED] php mailer not sending form data


acinl

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm new to php and this forum, but hoping you can help.

 

I have created a survey form for the arts organization I run at this address:

 

http://acinl.ca/skills.php

 

When the user completes the survey, it seems to process fine but, when the email is received at my end, there is no form data included. It is blank with only the subject appearing ("ACINL Survey 1") in the header of the message and the $realname5 string ("Indentifying the Skills We Need Now") in the body of the message. None of the questions appear to be included or attached.

 

Any ideas? I've been working on this forever, tinkering, and can't figure it out!

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

George

Hi thanks replying. Hope I'm posting this right... Sensitive info blanked with *****

 

Thanks,

G

 

At the top of the page the code is :

 

<? 
$page_title = "Survey";


require_once("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php"); 


session_register("previous_page");

if ( $previous_page == "" ) {
	$previous_page	=	$HTTP_REFERER;
}

$previous_page = str_replace("refer", "yachtinfo", $previous_page);

?>

 

Further down the code for the forms is:

 

   <?
if ($stage == 1) {
		if ( ($yourname != "") && ($youremail1 != "") ) {

		if ($previous_page == "") {
			$previous_page	=	$root_url;
		}
		$i			=	0;
		$from		=	addslashes($youremail1);
		$fromName	=	addslashes($yourname);

		$subject	=	"Identifying the Skills We Need Now";

		$msg_start	.=	" ";

		$msg_end	.=	",\n\n<br>";
		foreach($_POST['Q1'] as $value) {

the problem is probably here

if ( ($yourname != "") && ($youremail1 != "") )

 

as, this stops the questions being added but does not stop the email sending..

 

change to

echo "yourname = '$yourname', youremail1 = '$youremail1'~~";
if ( ($yourname != "") && ($youremail1 != "") )

 

and see if they have values set..

 

i have re-tabbed the code to make it more clear

if you get an email say

youremail1 or yourname was not set correclty

 

it will prove my point..

You're right! It does say that in the email "youremail1 or yourname was not set correclty"....

 

So how do I correct this? I'm not sure I follow what the actual problem is. Is it looking for info I haven't given it?

 

Thanks again,

George

Oh, there is no form used for that. This survey must be completely anonymous. Basically, they have to just fill out the radio, check and text fields and press submit. It should be sent to me with no identifying information.

 

Is it trying to find that info now? Is that the problem?

THanks. The base code was adapted from an old form we were running as a sign up sheet for a past event. I guess this was hold over.

 

Should I put that new text in place of the

 

if ( ($yourname != "") && ($youremail1 != "") )
{

 

Or in place of the

 

$mail->From     = $youremail1;
$mail->FromName = $yourname;
$mail->AddAddress("$email5", "$realname5 "); 
$mail->AddReplyTo("$email1","$name");

 

??

YOU DID IT!! It works. Will now sit down with a book and try to figure out exactly what it was you did do, but it works! Now, I see how ugly the responses look, I'll have to tinker to make it look better, but it's finally working. After TWO months of picking at it!

 

Thank you so much!

 

Best,

George
