[SOLVED] no data being transferred with my php script

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

Hi All

I am trying to use a php script to transmit data through a form. usually this form works fine, but im obviously missing something out. can anyone help?

 <?php
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,"."))) 
{
echo "<h2>Use Back - Enter valid e-mail</h2>\n"; 
$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
echo $badinput;
}
if(empty($firstname) || empty($email) || empty($cardnumber) || empty($lastname )) {
echo "<h2></h2>\n";
}

$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;

$attn = $firstname ; 
$subject = "Request for Valuation from website" ; 

$notes = stripcslashes($notes); 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n
Titla: $title \n
Name: $name \n 
Address1: $address1 \n 
Address2: $address2 \n 
postcode: $postcode \n
Telephone: $telephone \n
Mobile: $mobile \n
Email: $email \n
What is your Property Type: $proptype \n
Is your property on the market?: $propmarket \n
If so which agent?: $agent \n
How Much is it on the market for?: $cost \n
Do you wish to stay as a tenant: $tenant \n
Which of our options do you prefer?: $options \n
";

$from = "From: $email\r\n";
var address = 'info';
var domain = 'homesboughttoday';
var ext = 'co.uk'; 

mail("address+domain+ext", $subject, $message, $from);

?>

var address = 'info';
var domain = 'homesboughttoday';
var ext = 'co.uk';

please remove those lines

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

ok if i remove those lines, how can i disguise the email from spammers?

rajivgonsalves · November 7, 2007

because those lines aren't PHP, disguise from spammers ?

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

yeah i am trying to disuise my email from spammers using php and that was another forum who suggested i use that

Do you know what that script you have does?

It sends an email...

So if you have :

$email = "stupid@girl.com";

NO-ONE can see that. It's a PHP variable, it never gets displayed (unless you echo it, which really would be stupid).

thanks

ok, it has not been solved, there is still an isse where as the form responses are not sowing in the email.

belows is the form code

<form method="post" action="sendemail.php"><table width="85%" height="200" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

this script is a copy of an exsiting working one. any ideas please?

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

This is becase you are not using $_post to get the details from the form into your mail.

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

where does the $_post need to go (sorry im really new with php and really appreciating the help)

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

ok

Well i am also new and forgive me if i get anything wrong. $_post goes where you want to call inforamtion form the form. For example you have

Name: $firstname \n

which should read

Name: echo $_POST["firstname"];

The bit in the [ ] is the id name of the feild you want to copy across from the form. Change the whole php and it should work. Post any more problems.

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

no thats not worked either! argh have no idea what to do

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

post you php script

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

as i am new i am going to do some trouble shooting. This will help us both. Therefore bear with me.

 <?php
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,"."))) 
{
echo "<h2>Use Back - Enter valid e-mail</h2>\n"; 
$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
echo $badinput;
}
if(empty($firstname) || empty($email) || empty($cardnumber) || empty($lastname )) {
echo "<h2></h2>\n";
}

$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;

$attn = $firstname ; 
$subject = "Valuation form from Homes Bought Today" ; 

$notes = stripcslashes($notes); 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n
Title: $title \n
Name: echo $_POST["firstname"]; 
Address1: echo $_POST["address1"]; 
Address2: echo $_POST["address2"]
Postcode: echo $_POST["postcode"]
Telephone: echo $_POST["telephone"]
Mobile: echo $_POST["mobile"]
Email: echo $_POST["email"]
Type of Property: echo $_POST["proptype"]

";
echo $message;
?>

I have just edited it by closing the php

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

no none of that works. i tried also taking out the commas in the lines so it read

Name: echo $_POST[$firstname];

this allows the form to continue to the php page but still no information form the form was posted. cheers adam for helping with this.

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

ok we shall try and go back to basics. Like from the form just load the values.

In the form are you sure action part is sending to the correct php file sendemail.php.

form method="post" action="sendemail.php">

change to

form action="post" action="sendemail.php">

Also in the sendemail.php we will go to basics.

<?php
echo $_POST["firstname"]; 
echo $_POST["address1"]; 
echo $_POST["address2"];
echo $_POST["postcode"];
echo $_POST["telephone"];
echo $_POST["mobile"];
echo $_POST["email"];
echo $_POST["proptype"];
echo $_POST["propmarket"];
echo $_POST["agent"];
echo $_POST["cost"];
echo $_POST["tenant"];
?>

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

tried all that and now nothing at all comes through

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

does the page reload? what is the new http? what is on the screen after you click submit? That should work.

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

in the sendemail.php you did remove everything and just put in my code right?

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

yeah removed the lot and wouldnt work. this exact same script as i posted in original post works on another server, just not this one!

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

if it works on another serever and not your own it means the server you are working on doesn't have php installed

stupid girl! · November 7, 2007

yeah im just checking with them. this is driving me barmy lol!

adam291086 · November 7, 2007

so got back to the orginal script that works. If the server doesn't have php then any php script will not work. If it does then what is the version. Remember to select topic solved once your done.

revraz · November 7, 2007

Run a simple script like

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

And see what returns.

yeah im just checking with them. this is driving me barmy lol!
