@PeOfEoSep 13.2003 — I would use a server side language for this, though it is possible It would just be better to use server side languages for forms. Try though when you are putting your email address in the form to put a ; in there and another email address and see what it does. It might work it might now, we will have to see.

@PeOfEoSep 13.2003 — I was betting the ; in the action would not work but it was worth a try anyway. Ok pyro this is for you because mg8 tells me that he is using a php form handler and I dont know what this is going to look like in php. Obviosuly a ; wont work ?

@mg8authorSep 13.2003 — pyro-

<?php;

$to="[email protected]";

$varA= $_POST['varA];

$varB=$_POST['varB'];

$subject="$varA and $varB";

mail($to, $subject);

?>

I get the email, but I don't have the variables included.

The user inputs data into text fields, in a form, and I used the $_post function to get those values and I want them sent to my email. When I get an email, all I get is [I]and[/I]

Thanks

@pyroSep 14.2003 — I'm assuming the form has fields named varA and varB? Also, you shouldn't put a semi-colon after the opening <?PHP, and you forgot a straight quote around your first $_POST... Try this:

[code=php]<?php
$to="[email protected]";
$varA= $_POST['varA'];
$varB=$_POST['varB'];
$subject="$varA and $varB";
mail($to, $subject);
?>[/code]

This is what I now have:

<?php;

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn";

$to="[email protected]";

$user= $_GET['user'];

$name= $_GET['name'];

$subject="$user";

$message = "name = $name";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

$to="[email protected]";
$user= $_GET['user'];
$name= $_GET['name'];
$subject="$user";
$message = "name = $name";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

@pyroSep 14.2003 — The $_GET variables must not be set. This worked fine for me:

[code=php]<?php
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn";
$to="[email protected]";
//$user= $_GET['user'];
//$name= $_GET['name'];
$user = "user";
$name = "name";
$subject="$user";
$message = "name = $name";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>[/code]

It's ok. Just forget about it. I don't really need it.
