Thread: Send email confirmation message.

I am trying to get user's input on a form, send the form information to myself in an email, and then send the user and email to their inputted email address. This is the code I have, not sure what I'm doing wrong??!?!?

PHP Code:

<?php

$message = "Here is a Sign Change " . "\n\n";
$message = $message . "Submission Date and Time: " . date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A") . "\n";
$message = $message . "Customer Name: " . $_REQUEST['CustName'] . "\n";
$message = $message . "Contact Name: " . $_REQUEST['ContactName'] . "\n";
$message = $message . "Phone Number: " . $_REQUEST['Phone'] . "\n" . "\n";
$message = $message . "Email Address: " . $_REQUEST['EmailAddress'] . "\n" . "\n";
$message = $message . "Requested Change Date: " . $_REQUEST['ChangeDate'] . "\n" . "\n";
$message = $message . "Additional Comments: " . $_REQUEST['Comments'] . "\n" . "\n";
$message = $message . $_REQUEST['EmailSubmission'];

// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);

// Send to impact signs and insert headers and subject
$email = "joewiebe******.com";
$subject = "Here is a sign change email!";
$header = "From: WebEmail\r\n"

// Compile info and send to submitter
   mail($email,$subject,$message,$header);

$message = "Thank you for submitting a form";
   $email = $_POST["EmailAddress"]
   $subject = "Thank you for your submission";
   $header = "From: impact_signs@mts.net\n"
  
   // Compile info and send to submitter
   mail($email,$subject,$message,$header);

   // redirect back to url visitor came from
   header('location:home.php');


?>

Why don't you simply use ABVFP ? It will do excactly what you need.

Well I would like to know the coding, and not just take the easy route...

I've come thus far with PHP already, and this is the first problem I've encountered...

Doesn't anybody here know about this stuff?

Ok. You have three syntax problems (missed ";") :

<?php

$message = "Here is a Sign Change " . "\n\n";
$message = $message . "Submission Date and Time: " . date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A") . "\n";
$message = $message . "Customer Name: " . $_REQUEST['CustName'] . "\n";
$message = $message . "Contact Name: " . $_REQUEST['ContactName'] . "\n";
$message = $message . "Phone Number: " . $_REQUEST['Phone'] . "\n" . "\n";
$message = $message . "Email Address: " . $_REQUEST['EmailAddress'] . "\n" . "\n";
$message = $message . "Requested Change Date: " . $_REQUEST['ChangeDate'] . "\n" . "\n";
$message = $message . "Additional Comments: " . $_REQUEST['Comments'] . "\n" . "\n";
$message = $message . $_REQUEST['EmailSubmission'];

// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);

// Send to impact signs and insert headers and subject
$email = "joewiebe******.com";
$subject = "Here is a sign change email!";
$header = "From: WebEmail\r\n" ; // Missed a ; here. Also, you do NOT use the visitos email address as from" address, so you have a good 50 - 60% chances that the mail will be blocked by ISP

// Compile info and send to submitter
mail($email,$subject,$message,$header);

$message = "Thank you for submitting a form";
$email = $_POST["EmailAddress"] ; // Missed the ; here
$subject = "Thank you for your submission";
$header = "From: impact_signs@mts.net\n" ; // Missed the ; here


// Compile info and send to submitter
mail($email,$subject,$message,$header);

// redirect back to url visitor came from
header('location:home.php');


?>

Since i don't know what this "Emailsubmission" field is, i don't know what is the use of it.
