Php Form To Mail Problem

« on: June 23, 2006, 12:06 PM »

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.

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

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.

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'];
$T6=$_POST['T6'];
$T7=$_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>";

$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 \r\n";

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();

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

Code:

<?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'];
$amount=$_POST[amount'];

$MailTo = "farriel@gmail.com";
$Body = "My name is $name My phone number is $phone My Fax number is $fax My email address is $email My company Name is $company My company phone number is $company_phone My company fax number is $company_fax My company email address is $company_email This project is classified as $project Project Description: $project_descr We intend spending about $currency$amount on this project.";
$Subject = "ATTN: New Comment from the web";
$MailFrom = "$T1 <$T2>";

$err=""; // Let validate the entry

if(empty($name)){
$err.="Please enter your name ";
}

if(!ctype_digit($phone)){

$err.="Please enter a valid phone number ";

}
//check if this is a number

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

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.
