Php Form To Mail Problem by Farriel(m): 12:06pm On Jun 23, 2006

Have got this silly problem with a PHP form to mail script. I'm currently working on this site, and on the contact page, have got this form http://www.uciko.com/aboutus/contact.htm

The problem is, upon filling the form and hitting the submit button, I do get the mail from the form, but without the entries filled. Was wondering if anyone could look at the code and help;

^{<?php

$MailTo = "farriel@gmail.com";
$Body = "My name is $T1 My phone number is $T2 My Fax number is $T3 My email address is $T4 My company Name is $T5 My company phone number is $T6 My company fax number is $T7 My company email address is $T8 This project is classified as $D1 Project Description: $S1 We intend spending about $D2$T9 on this project.";
$Subject = "ATTN: New Comment from the web";
$MailFrom = "$T1 <$T2>";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $MailFrom";

if ($MailTo) {

if (mail($MailTo, $Subject, $Body, $headers)) {}

}

$MailTo2 = "farriel@gmail.com";
$Body2 = "$Body";
$Subject2 = "$Subject";
$MailFrom2 = "$T1 <$T2>";

$headers2 = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers2 .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers2 .= "From: $MailFrom2";

if ($MailTo2) {

if (mail($MailTo2, $Subject2, $Body2, $headers2)) {}

}

/* Redirect browser */

$Url = "Location: http://www.uciko.com/aboutus/confirmation.php";

header($Url);

/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */

exit();
?>}

This is what is between me and a formal completion of the project.

Re: Php Form To Mail Problem by kazey(m): 12:47pm On Jun 23, 2006

hahaa you didnt define the values for the form name strings in the form you are using. Besides where is the form?

My name is $T1
My phone number is $T2
My Fax number is $T3
My email address is $T4
My company Name is $T5
My company phone number is $T6
My company fax number is $T7
My company email address is $T8
This project is classified as $D1
Project Description: $S1
We intend spending about on this project. $D2$T9

etc
and change this to single ' not ""

$MailTo2 = 'farriel@gmail.com';
$Body2 = '$Body';
$Subject2 = '$Subject';
$MailFrom2 = '$T1 <$T2>';

Is the page not suppose to be saved as a script file i.e. contact.php rather to contact.htm?

You can use this free send a friend code

Re: Php Form To Mail Problem by kazey(m): 1:46pm On Jun 23, 2006

His code seems to be an action page, but without the form you cant really tell where the problem is. I ran the code on my server, works but of course doesnt show the value of the strings. Thats why I asked for the form.

Re: Php Form To Mail Problem by skima(m): 11:05pm On Jun 23, 2006

when u need the value from a variable use double quote. so with his quote i think he's right.

The code was developed with register global on. But On the server on which u runs it, register global is off.

<?php
/*
I will advise u follow name conventiona when coding
dats dim email's variable has $email and company as $company

*/

//lets dim our variables
$T1=$_POST['T1'];
$T2=$_POST['T2'];
$T3=$_POST['T3'];
$T4=$_POST['T4'];
$T5=$_POST['T5'];

$T7=$_POST['T7'];
$T8=$_POST['T8'];
$T9=$_POST['T9'];
$D1=$_POST['D1'];
$D2=$_POST['D2'];
$S1=$_POST['S1'];

$MailTo = "farriel@gmail.com";
$Body = "My name is $T1 My phone number is $T2 My Fax number is $T3 My email address is $T4 My company Name is $T5 My company phone number is $T6 My company fax number is $T7 My company email address is $T8 This project is classified as $D1 Project Description: $S1 We intend spending about $D2$T9 on this project.";
$Subject = "ATTN: New Comment from the web";
$MailFrom = "$T1 <$T2>";

Enhanced.
Make sure u validate for a valid email address. So we will add a validation function to it.

<?php
/*
I will advise u follow name conventiona when coding
that is dim email's variable has $email and company as $company

*/

function checkEmail($email){
			return preg_match("/^[^\s()<>@,;:\"\/\[\]?=]+@\w[\w-]*(\.\w[\w-]*)*\.[a-z]{2,}$/i",$email);
		}

//lets dim our variables

//Make sure u make it tally with the forms name

$name=$_POST['name']; // name of the person fillling the form
$phone=$_POST['phone']; // his phone number
$fax=$_POST['fax']; //his fax
$email=$_POST['email']; //his email
$company=$_POST['company'];
$company_phone=$_POST['company_phone'];
$company_fax=$_POST['company_fax'];
$company_email=$_POST['company_email'];
$project=$_POST['project'];
$project_descr=$_POST['project_descr'];
$currency=$_POST['currency'];

Complications, you dont even know whether his form is get or post, or even if he named his form properly.

Nice work, people can be very nice on Nairaland.

We are here to help one another.

Re: Php Form To Mail Problem by Farriel(m): 7:24pm On Jun 24, 2006

Christ! You're my man, Skima! shocked

All that code, for free? You're my man!

And Kazey, thanks to you to.

Re: Php Form To Mail Problem by skima(m): 6:45pm On Jun 25, 2006

have u tested it?

I have not though.

Re: Php Form To Mail Problem by Farriel(m): 3:26pm On Jun 27, 2006

Yeah, even though I had to tweak some lines of code. The company field wasn't recognizing entries and still prompting users for company name, even though they had done that. I had to delete the print error variables.

So right now, no company name is coming through. But all the same man, I really appreciate this.

I wish I could your number or something so I could call you when I need to. Perhaps then I just might want to pay you for your time. Thanks Skima.

Re: Php Form To Mail Problem by skima(m): 3:00pm On Jun 28, 2006

change this : $company=$_POST['company'];

to : $company=$_POST['company_name'];

Dont make any change to your form.

my number 08027924441

Re: Php Form To Mail Problem by Farriel(m): 6:37pm On Jul 08, 2006

Finding this a little lately, all the same thanks.

Would call you soon, pal,
