mail() help

[jonathanellis]

Hello. I am trying to make a form work on a website. The problem i am having is redirection after the form sends. Right now I just get a white screen and the email sends. To view it online please visit: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact.html

 

Here is the PHP:

<?php

//**********************************************************
//						           *
//	volumeforlife.com				   *
//	PHP mailer script created by versionthree	   *
//						           *
//**********************************************************

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

// basic mail variables
$to = "[email protected]"; //for multiple email addresses separate addresses with a comma
$subject = "Website Comment";
$from = "This has just been sent from www.volumeforlife.com";

// Retrieve form post
$name_field = $_POST['thename'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];

// Collect date
$date = date("D M d, Y H:i:s");

// The message body
$message = "$date\n\nName: $thename\nPhone: $phone\nEmail: $email\n\nComment: $comment\n  ";

// Redirect pages
$success = 'http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_success.html';  // sets the page if the form is completed successfully
$deny = 'http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_deny.html';  // sets the page if the form has an error

// Send the message
$ok = mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);  

// Redirects the User after submission
if ($ok) {
include("$success");
} else {
include("$deny");
}
}
?>

[darkfreaks]

that is entirely wrong!

 

Change the Above to this:

<?php

if ($_POST['submit']=="true") { 
mail($to, $subject, $message, $from); 
header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_success.html");


}else{ header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_deny.html");} ?>

Just change this:

 

<?php
// Redirects the User after submission
if ($ok) {
include("$success");
} else {
include("$deny");
}?>

 

to this

 

<?php
// Redirects the User after submission
if ($ok)
{
header("Location: ".$success."");
}
else
{
header("Location: ".$deny."");
}
?>

[darkfreaks]

this wont work

[Ninjakreborn]

You want to avoid doing a straight variable test

if ($whatever) {

// do this

}

You want to actually check the variable.  For one that'll throw notice errors, another it's insecure.

[darkfreaks]

i agree wests version will throw errors use mine

<?php

if ($_POST['submit']=="true") { 
mail($to, $subject, $message, $from); 
header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_success.html");


}else{ header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_deny.html");} ?>

Wow, that was quick. Thanks for the help guys. As you can probably tell, i am very new to PHP. I just picked up some basics, primarily I work in Flash and Design.

 

This help is much appreciated!

 

This is what I have now, is it right? Or are there other errors?

<?php

//**********************************************************

//	PHP mailer script created by versionthree	   *
//						           *
//**********************************************************

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

// basic mail variables
$to = "[email protected]"; //for multiple email addresses separate addresses with a comma
$subject = "Website Comment";
$from = "This has just been sent from www.volumeforlife.com";

// other details
$name_field = $_POST['thename'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$date = date("D M d, Y H:i:s");
$message = "$date\n\nName: $thename\nPhone: $phone\nEmail: $email\n\nComment: $comment\n  ";


// Sends email and redirects
if ($_POST['submit']=="true") { 
mail($to, $subject, $message, $from); 
header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_success.html");


}else{ header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_deny.html");
}
?>

 

 

[darkfreaks]

[jonathanellis]

Thanks! 

[Ninjakreborn]

It's ugly, do this.

<?php

//**********************************************************
//						           *
//	volumeforlife.com				   *
//	PHP mailer script created by versionthree	   *
//						           *
//**********************************************************

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

// basic mail variables
$to = "[email protected]"; //for multiple email addresses separate addresses with a comma
$subject = "Website Comment";
$from = "This has just been sent from www.volumeforlife.com";

// other details
$name_field = $_POST['thename'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$date = date("D M d, Y H:i:s");
$message = "$date\n\nName: $thename\nPhone: $phone\nEmail: $email\n\nComment: $comment\n  ";


// Sends email and redirects
 if ($_POST['submit']=="true") { 
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $from); 
    header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_success.html");
 }else{ 
    header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_deny.html");
 }
}
?>
There was also a misaligned bracket.

[jonathanellis]

lol. Thanks businessman!

[Ninjakreborn]

anytime, if you have any further problems, let us know.

[darkfreaks]

didnt see thebracket thanks for pointing it out businessman

 

and like was said we are here to help

[jonathanellis]

I just uploaded it to the server: htt[://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact.html

 

Now all I get is the error page, it won't successfully send?

[darkfreaks]

change  else to:

<?php
elseif ($_POST['submit']=="false") { 
header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_deny.html");}
}?>

 

 

 

[Ninjakreborn]

Post the ENTIRE code for the form and for the processor.

It looks like if the form might be in flash (only checked for a second) if so make sure submit has a value of true.

[darkfreaks]

<?php

if($_POST['submit']=="true") { 

mail($to, $subject, $message, $from); 
header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_success.html");
}



elseif ($_POST['submit']=="false") { 
header("Location: http://staging.volumeforlife.com/contact_deny.html");}
}?>

[Ninjakreborn]

As I mentioned, post the entire code for the "processor" AND the "form".

[darkfreaks]

yea true we would have no idea what the actionscript is doing

[Ninjakreborn]

I am not sure if the form is in actionscript or not I only looked at the link for half a second.

however we need to know what the form looks like from a code view, as well as what values are being passed.

[jonathanellis]

post the entire code for the "processor" AND the "form". ... i don't quite follow?

 

[Ninjakreborn]

... Go to the page your form is present.  COPY the code, and PASTE it here using code tags.  Do the same for the page that is taking care of the form..
