Hi guys.. i've made a form and am trying to get it to send it to my email..

I have this as the form:

Code: [Select]<form action="form.php" method="post">

<h3><font color="red">Please fill in this form correctly and honestly to join our community.</font></h3>
<font color="blue">First Name</font>:
<INPUT type="text" name=""
value="" size="40">
<br>
<font color="blue">Login Name</font>:
<input type="text" name=""
value="" size="40">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="send mail">

and in that it refers to a file called "form.php"

which i have made as this:

Code: [Select]<?php
$fname=$_POST['firstname'];/*thislineistextfieldname*/

//Declaratethenecessaryvariables
$mail_to="[emailprotected]";
$mail_from="[emailprotected]";
$mail_sub="FormData";


$mail_mesg=$fname;

//Checkforsuccess/failureofdelivery
if(mail($mail_to,$mail_sub,$mail_mesg,"From:$mail_from/r/nReply-to:$mail_from"))
echo"<spanclass='textred'>YourApplicationhasbeensentsuccessfully!Wewillgetbacktoyouwithin24hours.Regards,Psy.</span>";
else
echo"<spanclass='textred'>Failedtosendyourapplication!<br>Thiswaseithercausedby&bull;aninternetfault,inwhichcase,tryagain.or&bull;Wearecarryingoutmaintenancework,inwhichcase,pleasetryagainlater.Thankyou.</span>";



?>

Now when i fill in the form and hit send, it sends an email to my account, which is great.. BUT.. all the email shows is the who it's to, who its from and the name. ie Form Data.

There is no form results sent in the email.. how do i get them there? and why does it not send to a hotmail account but will to a GMAIL account?

This is the email i get:

Code: [Select] Message text garbled?

ThanksPut this in the third line in form.php: print "$fname";
Does it print out anything?
It doesn't look as if you have the body specified (e.g. body of e-mail being sent). Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with PHP (I'm a Perl guy), but I'd assume it would need some type of body message section.

Try reviewing this page and see if it helps.

Two things:

The proper way to do an IF statement:

if(condition) {

statement here

} else {

other statement

}


Also, using quotes.

Instead of double quotes:
echo "<span> blah blah blah</span>";

use single quotes:

echo '<span>blah blah blah</span>';

EXCEPT!! when you echo a variable.
If you want to echo a line that has a variable in it, than you use double quotes.

echo "$variable";

Have you ever done any programming at all?
There's several ways to set up an if statement. You don't need the curly brackets for a one line if, else, for, or while, and it doesn't matter how it's formatted. every interpreter and compiler ignores white space anyway.
Quotes don't matter either!
Besides, the original poster already resolved his problem, why'd you bring it back up?

It's a bad habit to think that everyone has to conform to your own coding style.
The guy wasn't trying to make his code look pretty, he was trying to fix his code. Your comments didn't help him solve anything.
