Basic email php

[jonkruse]

My background is a graphic designer and I am making a website in Flash and the client wanted to have a form that you fill out a request for a dvd. In flash I have some variables called "firstname", "lastname", "email", "address", "zip"

 

When I click the button it sends me an email but I don't know how to format it in php so when I get the email the body looks like this:

 

Name

Address

City, State, Zip

 

email

 

here is the php I'm using

$sendTo = "[email protected]";

$subject = "3dGeneralist website comment";

 

 

 

 

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";

 

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";

 

$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];

 

$message = $_POST["message"];

 

 

 

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

?>[/tt]

[JJohnsenDK]

you should use html in the message variable:

 

something like this:

 

Name: <?=$_POST["firstName"];?>

Adress: <?=$_POST["adress"];?>

 

and so on and then put this in the headers:

 

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 

[jonkruse]

$sendTo = "[email protected]";

$subject = "3dGeneralist DVD REQUEST";

 

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";

$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

 

 

$message = Name: <?=$_POST["name"];?>;

Address: <?=$_POST["address"];?>

City: <?=$_POST["city"];?>

State: <?=$_POST["state"];?>

Zip: <?=$_POST["zip"];?>

Country: <?=$_POST["zip"];?>

Email: <?=$_POST["email"];?>;

 

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

?>

 

 

When I put this in it says:

Address: City: State: Zip: Country: Email: ; // once the variables have been defined, they can be included // in the mail function call which will send you an email mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers); ?>

 

Sorry I'm a complete newb.

Have you got short tags turned on?

[revraz]

This is all messed up

 

$message = Name: <?=$_POST["name"];?>;

Address: <?=$_POST["address"];?>

City: <?=$_POST["city"];?>

State: <?=$_POST["state"];?>

Zip: <?=$_POST["zip"];?>

Country: <?=$_POST["zip"];?>

Email: <?=$_POST["email"];?>;

 

If you're already in PHP, then there is no need to use <? again.  You are using ; when you should use concatenations.

don't forget your <br> tag after each line to go to the next line

1. Don't use short tags.

2. Clean it up some.

 

Did the people above help fix your problems earlier, or are you still having some issues with it?
