PHP Mailer

[Butters]

Having trouble with a simple PHP mail form, here's the PHP for it:


<?php
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'] ;
$date = $_REQUEST['date'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;


mail( "guestlist@glowstudents.com", "Request for Guestlist at GLOW.",
$message);

header( "Location: http://www.glowstudents.com/test/guestlist2.html" );
?>


How do I edit it so that all the information (name, email, phone, date and message) are sent in an email to that address? I'v tried putting the other $ tags in but it just gives me errors everytime.

Also get in the habit of knowing if your posting or getting data. Request should only be used if your doing both (which is rare).

<?php
//Stay Organized
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'];
$date = $_REQUEST['date'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];

$send = $message."\n\n".$name."\n".$email."\n".$phone."\n".$date;
$subject = "This is the subject";
$to = "guestlist@glowstudents.com";
$header = 'From: email@email.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: email@email.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $send, $header);
header( "Location: http://www.glowstudents.com/test/guestlist2.html" );
exit;
?>

Hmmmm, seems like it works but when I open up the email only the text from the Message box text is there, none of the other stuff (like email, date, name etc) is...

[Templarian]

Use $_POST instead of $_REQUEST

also do a
echo $send;
exit;

Where do I put the echo bit?

[Butters]

Nvmd, figured out where to put it but I don't want that (the echo thing), I want it to go to the page I made to tell people that their request has been submitted.

Oh and here's the HTML from Dreamweaver from the HTML file:


<td width="194" height="19" class="style3">Your name: </td>
<td width="183" height="19" class="style3"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
<td height="19" class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style3">Your email address: </td>
<td height="22" class="style3"><input name="email" type="text" id="email"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
<td height="22" class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style3">Your phone number:</td>
<td height="22" class="style3"><input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
<td height="22" class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style3">The date you want guestlist for:</td>
<td height="22" class="style3"><input name="date" type="text" id="date" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
<td height="22" class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="22" colspan="2" class="style3">The first <strong>and</strong> last names of the people you would like to put on the guestlist seperated by commas:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="19" colspan="2" class="style3">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="267" colspan="2" class="style3"><form method="post" action="sendmail.php">
<p><textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40">
</textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" />
Click <strong>once</strong> only. </p>
</form></td>

^I was making sure the data was actually being sent. Did your $send data correctly show up?

Your HTML is cut off so I can't see your form tag, but since it is redirecting for you its correctly posting to the page.

[Butters]

Wait managed to fix it! Yay!

Would have been problems with HTML bit as I didn't put all of the form in the same table cell.

Thanks temp :)
