X-Mailer: php

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 23.2007

I’m trying to send data from a simple form to an email address.
I’ve got everything put together, and it takes you to the php page, but it returns blank.

[url]http://org.elon.edu/sigmakappa/alumnae2.html[/url]

it redirects to [url]http://org.elon.edu/sigmakappa/alumnaeConfirm.php[/url]

any ideas?

thanks.

@Warfman99authorFeb 23.2007 — my bad...

here it is:

<?php

$headers = "From: [email][email protected][/email] rn";

"X-Mailer: php";

$email = 'Name= '. $_POST['name'] . "n"

. 'Address= '. $_POST['address'] . "n"

.'City= '. $_POST['city'] . "n"

.'State= '. $_POST['state'] . "n"

.'Zip= '. $_POST['zip'] . "n"

.'Phone= '. $_POST['phone'] . "n"

.'Email= '. $_POST['email'] . "n"

.'Update= '. $_POST['info'] . "n";

mail('[email protected]','EK Alumnae Update',$email, $headers);

?>

@zackbloomFeb 23.2007 — Does the email get sent? That code won't output anything to the screen. If its not getting sent try echoing $headers and $email to see if they are correct.

i've got an entire html page designed on alumnaeConfirm.php

i just cut and paste the php script.

i don't understand why the html page isn't even showing up.

and i just tried to attach the entire alumnaeConfirm.php page,

and i got an error message... "Invalid File"

i've never gotten that before.

that could be where the problem lies.

i'm pretty sure there are other ways to send a simple form through email.

are you familiar with a different way, if we don't know why this one is working??

@zackbloomFeb 23.2007 — The mail function will not work for a whole host of reasons. Does it work if you just put
[code=php]
mail('toaddr','test','test');
[/code]
replacing toaddr with an email address. There are other ways to send emails but there much more complicated.

Success!
