Help!

**New to VB 6** · Nov 18th, 2002, 06:35 AM

I think I have made a simple php mail page...

The first page works fine.
I just enter
http://my.server.name/test/mailtest...0Mailing%20List

and everything works great.

the problem starts when I click the submit button.

I want to pass the variables entered in mailtest.php to action.php and mail them to myself.

if I put

<?
$subject = "Test";

$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $_POST["subject"]; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
Name: <?php echo $_POST["FName"]; ?> <?php echo $_POST["LName"]; ?> 
Email: <?php echo $_POST["Email"]; ?> 
Address: <?php echo $_POST["Address"]; ?> 

<?php echo $_POST["City"]; ?><?php echo $_POST["State"]; ?><?php echo $_POST["Zip"]; ?>
</body>
</html>
';

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

$headers .= "From: RCW-ONLINE.COM <[email protected]>\r\n";

?>
<?
mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

I'm sent a quote of the text in $message
if I put

<?
$subject = "Test";

$message =
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $_POST["subject"]; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
Name: <?php echo $_POST["FName"]; ?> <?php echo $_POST["LName"]; ?> 
Email: <?php echo $_POST["Email"]; ?> 
Address: <?php echo $_POST["Address"]; ?> 

<?php echo $_POST["City"]; ?><?php echo $_POST["State"]; ?><?php echo $_POST["Zip"]; ?>
</body>
</html>
;

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

$headers .= "From: RCW-ONLINE.COM <[email protected]>\r\n";

?>
<?
mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Nothing happens

Can anyone help? I new to php I have only been doing it for little over 18 hours.

I have included my files in a zip...

for one you can't have php tags inside php tags.

<? //start php
$subject = "Test";

$message = <html> <head> <title><?php echo $_POST["subject"]; ?></title>

see the bold? you can't do that. you also need quotes. you also have your headers backwards. you don't need the mime header either. try this, also why have a title if you can never see it?

PHP Code:


<? 

$subject = "Test"; 



$message = "

<html> 

<head> 

<title>$_POST["subject"]</title> 

</head> 

<body> 

Name: $_POST["FName"] . $_POST["LName"] <br> 

Email: $_POST["Email"] <br> 

Address: $_POST["Address"]<br> 



$_POST["City"] . $_POST["State"] . $_POST["Zip"] 

</body></html> "; 



$headers = "From: RCW-ONLINE.COM <[email protected]>\r\n";

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



mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $headers); 

?>

No offense phpman but that wouldnt work,

PHP Code:


<? 

$subject = "Test"; 



$message = "

<html> 

<head> 

<title>{$_POST["subject"]}</title> 

</head> 

<body> 

Name: {$_POST["FName"]} {$_POST["LName"]} <br> 

Email: {$_POST["Email"]} <br> 

Address: {$_POST["Address"]}<br> 



{$_POST["City"]} {$_POST["State"]} {$_POST["Zip"]} 

</body></html> "; 



$headers = "From: RCW-ONLINE.COM <[email protected]>\r\n";

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



mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $headers); 

?>

it will work, it's just that the values wouldn't have spaces is all.

the concatenators (sp) work all the time, but I still shouldn't have used them.... wait I get what you are saying

it would get a T_STRING error, huh?

should have used ".$_POST[]." instead or the way you did it.

good catch Matt.

I figured you would see that after my post, I guess I should have stated it as well
