form set to submit to itself only showing background

justspiffy · January 23, 2008

Hi there.

Im having a problem with a simple 3 field form. I would like it so when you hit submit, it returns to the same page it was on before you hit submit. Is this possible? What i have right now, when you click on submit, only some of the page shows up.

Here is the link to the page http://www.justspiffy.ca/shackletons/auction/index.php

Here is the code

No one is going to look at all that code. Please reduce it down to the relevant section and post that.

hi,

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST'){

$me = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>

you are using this condition in the start itself so page is getting displayed like this. when you are posting your code the else part is getting executed and the remaining html is been shown to you.

Regards

justspiffy · January 23, 2008

sorry.. here is just the form and the php

<?php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST'){

$me = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

<td width="132" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;text-align: left;"><div align="left">Your First Name: </div></td>

</div></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>

</div></td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

<input type="submit" name="Submit"

value="Submit Comment">

<input type="reset" name="Submit2"

value="Clear Form">

</span></strong><br>

</div></td>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

<?php

} else {

error_reporting(0);

$recipient = 'contact@justspiffy.ca';

$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);

$from = stripslashes($_POST['name']);

$frlast = stripslashes($_POST['last']);

$headers = "From: $email\r\n\r\n";

$subject = "Join Our E-List";

$message = "Name: $from\r\n

Last Name: $frlast\r\n

Email Address: $email\r\n

";

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

if (!mail) {

echo "Message failed to send";

} else {

echo nl2br ();

}

?>

legohead6 · January 23, 2008

just dont put a taget on the form, make sure its method is post, then use a if(isset($_POST['submitbutton'])){

priti · January 23, 2008

hi,

Is your problem solved? if not then what is your expected output what should happen when you submit your form and mail is sent.

justspiffy · January 23, 2008

no it is not yet solved. i tried putting the if(isset($_POST['submitbutton'])){ command in and it would only show the background a image and the HOME link but at the top of the page. what i would like to happen, is when you click on submit, it takes you to the exact same page it came from.. it doesnt show any confirmation of message sent or anything. just redirects back to the exact same page you came from...

priti · January 23, 2008

okie

remove <?php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST'){

$me = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>

from start we won't keep html form to be in if else condition.

2.

if(isset($_POST))

{

//write your mail code on the same page

error_reporting(0);

$recipient = 'contact@justspiffy.ca';

$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);

$from = stripslashes($_POST['name']);

$frlast = stripslashes($_POST['last']);

$headers = "From: $email\r\n\r\n";

$subject = "Join Our E-List";

$message = "Name: $from\r\n

Last Name: $frlast\r\n

Email Address: $email\r\n

";

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

if (!mail) {

echo "Message failed to send";

} else {

echo nl2br ();

}

3.in your form tag <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"> use this.

4.then tell us weather you are able to achieve it or not.

i still don't understand why you are writing you HTML in if() condition??

anywayz try these and see if it solves

justspiffy · January 23, 2008

thanks for you reply. what you suggested works great, it returns to the page that it came from however, when the form is filled out and emailed, the email does not show what the person had filled out in the form. here is the email i receive once the form is submitted

Name:

Last Name:

Email Address:

the fields are empty, even though the form was correctly filled out.

any suggestions?

justspiffy · January 23, 2008

I also forgot to mention, sometimes when the form is submitted, i receive 3 or 4 of the same email. other times i just receive one copy of it. strange!

priti · January 24, 2008

Hmm....

Good that you are able to part 1 of your problem now the next in problem dish is content of your mails are missing so try to echo it and see what $message is .

do as follow

before this

echo $message

exit;

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

and try to lookin what your message is.

for mail header and mail function read:http://in2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
