simple php contact form - Problems with code

[websime]

Hey guys,

The curious thing about this situation is that I am using virtually the same code (html, css, and php) on a contact form for another site and it works perfectly.

For some reason, I can't seem to get it to work on this site:

http://www.namastenutrition.net/form.htm

 

The form loads fine and it is accessing the php file, but everytime I fill it out and click submit, it loads the error2.html page and does not email me the information.

 

Any help would be most appreciated!!!

 

HTML:

<form id="myform" class="cssform" method="POST" action="php/contact.php">
<fieldset>
<legend>To contact me, simply fill out this form!</legend>

<p>
<label for="user">Name</label>
<input type="text" id="user" name="Name" value="" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="phonenumber">Phone Number:</label>
<input type="text" id="phonenumber" name="Phonenumber" value="" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="emailaddress">Email Address:</label>
<input type="text" id="emailaddress" name="Email" value="" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="regarding">Regarding:</label>
<input type="text" id="regarding" name="Regarding" value="" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="comments">Questions or Comments:</label>
<textarea id="comments" name="Comments" rows="5" cols="25"></textarea>
</p>


<div style="margin-left: 150px;">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="submit"> <input type="reset" name="clear" value="Clear" class="clear">
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>

 

PHP:

<?php
// get posted data into local variables
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$EmailTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "User Contact - Contact Page";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Phonenumber = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phonenumber'])); 
$Regarding = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Regarding'])); 
$Comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Comments'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($Email)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Name)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Comments)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../error2.html\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phonenumber: ";
$Body .= $Phonenumber;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Regarding: ";
$Body .= $Regarding;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Comments: ";
$Body .= $Comments;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$Email>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../thanks2.html\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../error2.html\">";
}
?>

Have you tried echoing all 3 of the variables to make sure they are not empty?

repalce

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$Email>");

 

with

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <".$Email.">");

 

php will think its $email> instead of $email had that problem once lool

Since you call error2 in two different places, first identify which one is triggering it.

Thanks to all 3 of you for your quick replies!

 

I replaced that

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <".$Email.">");

and I changed the first error to error1.html...

 

result:

error2.html is triggered.

 

as for echo'ing the 3 variables to make sure they are not empty...unfortunately I have no clue what that means! 

Care to enlighten me?

 

 

html code is the same

here is the new php

<?php
// get posted data into local variables
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$EmailTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "User Contact - Contact Page";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Phonenumber = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phonenumber'])); 
$Regarding = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Regarding'])); 
$Comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Comments'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($Email)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Name)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Comments)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../error1.html\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phonenumber: ";
$Body .= $Phonenumber;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Regarding: ";
$Body .= $Regarding;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Comments: ";
$Body .= $Comments;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <".$Email.">");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../thanks2.html\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../error2.html\">";
}
?>

okay here's some easy questions:

1.  what is looool??

 

2. Does anyone know if GoDaddy supports php? 

I am diggin thru my client's account and don't see it stated anywhere that they do. 

 

3.  They DO support asp.  Can anyone point me to a site where I can get a simple asp mail script and learn more about it?

 

thanks!

1.  I guess a strange way of saying "lol"

2.  I'm sure they do, but may depend on what package you have.  You should ask them.

3.  Google

Thanks! and how about a good book to pick up for first-time php guy.

Only code experience I have is html and css at this point...

Just search amazon.com for php and mysql (if you want to learn both).  Just make sure you get the latest edition of whatever book you get.  PHP5 and MySQL 5 would be the ones to look for.
