Mail Function

[richard_PHP]

Hello all,

 

Back with another problem.. Mail function. I have a feedback form for joining a band (join.htm), fill it out, send it and you get sent to a tank you page (mail.php).

 

I get no errors on the mail.php page about the code and it all displays correctly. However, I have done this form four times now testing and I have no emails through.

 

The account is on 110MB and I have purchased the upgrade to activate SendMail.

 

Here's the code:

 

<?php
mail ('*email*', "Application", $_POST[name] . $_POST[email] . $_POST[queries]);
?>

 

I really need help with this one! Thanks.

mail uses

 

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

 

so you should do

<?php
$to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "Application";
$message = "hello and welcome blah blah blah";
// just some sample if using html
$headers = "From: Myname <\myemail@mydomainl.com>\r\n";

//leave the next 2 lines alone
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; 

if(!mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "could not send e-mail;
} else {
echo "E-mail sent";
}
?>

        <?php
        $to = "**email address**";
        $subject = "Application";
        $message = $_POST[name] . $_POST[email] . $_POST[queries];

        //leave the next 2 lines alone
        $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
        $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1rn"; 

        if(!mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
        echo "Error! Could not send e-mail. Click <a href='join.htm'>here</a> to start again.";
        } 
        else {
        echo "Thank you for your time. We will process your application shortly.";
        }
        ?>

 

Works. BUT.. Is there any way that I can have the subject come through as a multiple line instead of one line which is extremely hard to read.

 

Thanks.

\n will start a new line

 

$subject = "application\n line2 \n line3";

Sorry.. Not subject.. The message.

Well since this particular example is being sent using html, you can use <br> to go to another line

 

$message = $_POST[name] ."<br>".$_POST[email]."<br>". $_POST[queries];
