Contact Form error

svenjcvd · February 27, 2011

I tried fixing my contact.html form with my .php action seperated, i couldn't let it work, so now i'm trying to make one with php inside the html.. with some help of good tutorials of course ::)

Is there someone who can tell me if my form is looking oke or definitely not? :shrug:

I didn't work the checkboxes out, so i expect some error's from those lines, but i get an error on line 43... And i cant figure it out...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/index.php on line 43

Line 43 is:

40    $mail_body .= "De volgende persoon vulde het contact formulier in:\n\n"; 
41    $mail_body .= "Naam: " . $_POST['voorletters'] . "\n"; 
42    $mail_body .= "E-mailadres: " . $_POST['uwemail'] . "\n\n"; 
43    $mail_body .= "Onderwerp: " $_POST['sub']. "\n"; 
44    $mail_body .= "Bericht: " $_POST['field']. "\n\n"; 
45    $mail_body .= "\n\n -- Einde van het contact bericht --"; 
46    mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);

Line 43 is:

40    $mail_body .= "De volgende persoon vulde het contact formulier in:\n\n"; 
41    $mail_body .= "Naam: " . $_POST['voorletters'] . "\n"; 
42    $mail_body .= "E-mailadres: " . $_POST['uwemail'] . "\n\n"; 
43    $mail_body .= "Onderwerp: " $_POST['sub']. "\n"; 
44    $mail_body .= "Bericht: " $_POST['field']. "\n\n"; 
45    $mail_body .= "\n\n -- Einde van het contact bericht --"; 
46    mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);

you are missing a dot on lines 43 and 44 bewtween "Onderwerp" and $_POST

Thanks man! all those points etc... driving me nuts!

It is starting to get shape i hope!

If i open the file with XAMPP server, i can see my form actually, but when i try to send my information, it tells me this:

Strict Standards: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Berlin' for 'CET/1.0/no DST' instead in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/index.php on line 39

I think i found it, It has something to do with...

;date.timezone=Europe/Amsterdam

i think....

svenjcvd · February 27, 2011

Do i have to change my PHP.ini file from my XAMPP server?

svenjcvd · February 27, 2011

it s lol to ask some questions and answer them yourself... But ive solved the timezone problem putting this on top of the script:

<?php
if(function_exists("date_default_timezone_set") and function_exists("date_default_timezone_get"))
@date_default_timezone_set(@date_default_timezone_get());
?>

Now im running the script, 5 fields are restricted, if i forget 2 of them to fill in, it works properly, but if i forget 4 or 5 fields it only tells me i forgot 3 fields..

Can anyone help me?
