PHP eMail form HELP PLEASE!!

[Onzeon]

Hello my great PHP gurus, I have a question that might be simple for some of you geniuses. I have simple HTML email form getting sent by a PHP script and I cant get it to work right.

All I want is the get the email, name, subject and in the body I need to have 3 variables ( name (again) Telephone and details. This is the code I have so far:

 

HTML Form (relevant details only):

 

<input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="input" />

<input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" class="input" />

<input type="text" name="email" id="customer_mail" class="input" />

<input type="text" name="telephone" id="telephone" class="input" />

<textarea name="detail" cols="10" rows="10" id="detail"></textarea>

 

The PHP script is:

 

<?php

// Contact subject

$subject ="$subject";

// Details

$message="$detail";

// Name

$name="$name";

 

// Mail of sender

$mail_from="$customer_mail";

// From

$header="from: $name <$mail_from>";

 

// Enter your email address

$to ='onzeon@me.com';

 

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

 

// Check, if message sent to your email

// display message "We've recived your information"

if($send_contact){

echo "We received you message, thank you";

}

else {

echo "ERRO";

}

?>

 

I also tried this (with no success):

 

<?php

// Contact subject

$subject ="$assunto";

 

// Details

$body = $name;

$body .= "/n";

$body .= "Telephone : ".$telephone."/n";

$body .= "Subject : ".$subject."/n";

$body .= "Details : ".$details;

 

// Name

$name="$name";

 

// Mail of sender

$mail_from="$customer_mail";

// From

$header="from: $name <$mail_from>";

 

// Enter your email address

$to ='onzeon@me.com';

 

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$header,$body);

 

// Check, if message sent to your email

// display message "We've recived your information"

if($send_contact){

echo "We received you message, thank you";

}

else {

echo "ERRO";

}

?>

:sigh: - could you please use PHP/CODE tags when posting code. 

 

Elaborate on your problem: what do you expect the code to do, what does the code do, are there any error messages, if so what are they. 

 

Help us to help you.

Thank you for your reply. (wow)

I apologize if I'm not very good in the PHP lingo.

I dont get any errors. It goes through, but all I get in the email is

The name (where the email should be)

The Subject is correct.

The the body gets the details but nothing else.

 

I want to get The email where the email should be.

The subject is fine.

and in the body is where I really need help.

I want the have this body:

 

Name: (the $name ID)

Telephone: (the $telephone ID)

Subject: (the $subject ID)

 

I know my PHP is probably all wrong.

Please help if you can, I've been trying for a while to get it right.

Thank you.

From the code that you posted, you need to read up a bit on the use of $_POST variables

html form relevent details include form method and action as well by the way.

 

what you should have is

$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['detail'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];

etc.

For all the variables that you are taking from the form (assuming that you have method="POST" in your form decleration). - also, it is the elements name that you will link to, not the id.

 

change that in your code and let us know how it goes.

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, I should ask you PHP gurus a tutorial on how to build the script I'm trying to build. I've been at this for days, and the more I read the more confusing it gets. What I want to achieve is: I have a XHTML form with 5 user input fields - These are:

 

name

subject

cust_email

telephone

details

 

I need to create a PHP script that will on user click - submit a email that has this format:

 

From= cust_email

 

Subject= "Customer requested information on" +subject

 

eMail body= name + "requests information on" + subject

/n

+ details

/n

+ "Contact information"

/n

+telephone

+email.

 

So the body would look some how like this:
