Re: Form to Mail PHP
Thanks Murray

Fortunately the server had an option of Windows and Linux platforms. I asked
them to move my site to the Windows platform, and my submission form worked.

Now I'm doing a site for a client who's with a server with a Linux platform
and I find myself with the same problem again. Below please find the php file I
use. On testing I do receive the email but a very empty email. Much appreciated.

<?php

/* subject and email variables */


$emailSubject = 'Reservation Day Trip with Jimmy Felix';
$to = '2005@stage.co.za';


/* Gathering Data Variables */


$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$peopleField = $_POST['people'];
$timeField = $_POST['time9am10am'];
$timeField2 = $_POST['time12am1pm'];
$timeField2 = $_POST['check'];


$body = "<<<EOD
<br><hr><br>

Name: $name <br>
People: $people <br>
Time: $time9am10am <br>
Time2: $time12am1pm <br>
TermsConditionsChecked: $check <br>

EOD";

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
ini_set("sendmail_from", "2005@stage.co.za");
$success = mail($to, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);



/* Results rendered as HTML */

$theResults = <<<EOD

The above is wrong. Try it like this:

$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>

Name: $name <br>
People: $people <br>
Time: $time9am10am <br>
Time2: $time12am1pm <br>

Re: Form to Mail PHP
Thanks Gary

My original script was as you suggested. Then I got advised to add the
quotation marks. I've changed it back to what it was but with no luck. Any
advice would be much appreciated. Might it be because the contact form is
within an Spry accordion?

<?php

/* subject and email variables */


$emailSubject = 'Reservation Day Trip with Jimmy Felix';
$to = 'gustav@stage.co.za';


/* Gathering Data Variables */


$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$peopleField = $_POST['people'];
$timeField = $_POST['time9am10am'];
$timeField2 = $_POST['time12am1pm'];
$timeField2 = $_POST['check'];


$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>

Name: $name <br>
People: $people <br>
Time: $time9am10am <br>
Time2: $time12am1pm <br>
TermsConditionsChecked: $check <br>

EOD;

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
ini_set("sendmail_from", "gustav@stage.co.za");
$success = mail($to, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

Re: Form to Mail PHP
Hi Gary

You asked me what happens if I send the form. When I send it I do receive an
email, but with no content. Like this:

From: <daytripv@host94.hostmonster.com>
Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:32:57 -0600
To: <myemailaddress>
Subject: (which is correct)

Name:
People:
Time:
Time2:
TermsConditionsChecked:

First, double check that the form's method is set to post, not get.
Then, for debugging purposes, Try this to see what the script is
seeing.

<?php

print "<pre>\n";
print_r($_POST);
exit("</pre>\n");

/* subject and email variables */

$emailSubject = 'Reservation Day Trip with Jimmy Felix';
$to = 'gustav@stage.co.za';

/* Gathering Data Variables */

Hi Gary. The following is what comes up when I click the submission button
after I have inserted the above script:

Array
(
[name] => test
[people] => 3
[arrival] => 5/3?08
[time] => between 12am-1pm
[cruiseship] => Liliship
[check] => Yes I\'ve read the terms and conditions
[submit] => Submit
)

Okay. Here is your code from the form processing:

$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$peopleField = $_POST['people'];
$timeField = $_POST['time9am10am'];
$timeField2 = $_POST['time12am1pm'];
$timeField2 = $_POST['check'];


$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>

Name: $name <br>
People: $people <br>
Time: $time9am10am <br>
Time2: $time12am1pm <br>
TermsConditionsChecked: $check <br>

EOD;


First, note the elements you're trying to use from the $_POST array
are:
name, people, time2am10am, time12am1pm, and check.

The actual form fields are:
name, people, time, cruiseship, and check.

Note also the variables you are assigning the form results to:

$nameField, $peopleField, $timeField, $timeField2, and (curiously)
$timeField2 again.

The variables you're putting into the message are:

$name, $people, $time8am10am, $time12am1pm and $check.

Try it this way:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$people = $_POST['people'];
$arrival = $_POST['arrival'];
$time = $_POST['time9am10am'];
$cruiseship = $_POST['cruiseship'];
$check = $_POST['check'];


$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>

Name: $name <br>
People: $people <br>
Arrival: $arrival <br>
Time: $time <br>
Cruiseship: $cruiseship <br>
TermsConditionsChecked: $check <br>

EOD;

Re: Form to Mail PHP
Thank you very much Gary.

The way I originally had my PHP script worked well only if the server used the
Windows platform, but didn't work at all with my new server who uses Linux as
their platform.

Your suggestion makes it work 100% with the Linux platform.

Thank you kindly

G

The difference isn't in the platform, Windows/Linux. The difference is
in renamed form fields and using incorrect variable names. That said,
I'm glad it's working for you now.
