Thread: Need Help With My php Script... I Think?

Hi There,

I'm sure this is something very stupid like I've missed a full stop somewhere but I've been through it about 8 times and my head hurts now...

After the submit button is clicked my 3rd page comes up fine but instead of all the details coming through all I get is an email like this:

(unknown sender)

First_Name:
Last_Name:
Email:
Telephone:

Here's the php code I'm using if anyone can spot what I've done wrong please point it out it's doing my head in!

<?php
@$First_Name = addslashes($_POST['First_Name']);
@$Last_Name = addslashes($_POST['Last_Name']);
@$Email = addslashes($_POST['Email']);
@$Telephone = addslashes($_POST['Telephone']);
$pfw_header = "From: $Email\n"
. "Reply-To: $Email\n";
$pfw_subject = "Lottery Report";
$pfw_email_to = "simon.p.fisher@googlemail.com";
$pfw_message = "First_Name: $First_Name\n"
. "Last_Name: $Last_Name\n"
. "Email: $Email\n"
. "Telephone: $Telephone\n"
;
*****($pfw_email_to, $pfw_subject ,$pfw_message ,$pfw_header ) ;
header("Location: page3.html");
?>

And here's the first link again www.report4free.co.uk

Like I say all 3 pages come up fine I'm just not getting any details.

Cheers,

Si

Try changing
$pfw_message = "First_Name: $First_Name\n"
. "Last_Name: $Last_Name\n"
. "Email: $Email\n"
. "Telephone: $Telephone\n"
;
To
$pfw_message = "First_Name: ".$First_Name."\n"
. "Last_Name: ".$Last_Name."\n"
. "Email: ".$Email."\n"
. "Telephone: ".$Telephone."\n"
;

No joy I'm afraid :o(

I've just watched the vodahost tutorial on setting up forms and it's different to the tutorial I followed originally...

My instructions said to save the php script as an all files and copy it into the BlueFTP folder...

But vodahostess says to do it another way... I'll do it again, her way and get back to you...

Thanks for your help,

Si

Probably the first thing I should have asked, but are you sure that your form is correct. Do the "name" attributes match up (they are case sensitive)

Your problem (i have already answered you in http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/sav...tml#post166452 ,) is that you need to set the encoding type of your form in "multipart/formdata"

Ooo! You beat me to it!

I've just watched the form tutorial again and noticed that I forgot to change the encoding type...

It's all working fine now :o)

Thank you for all your help everybody, I really appreciate it.

I'm going to try a whole website next (not just a few pages) so I will no doubt be needing your help again soon.

Thanks again,

Si

Sorry, I'm still a bit new to this forum game. Should have checked my other threads first :o)
