Problem with PHP

monRa · 09-02-2005, 07:43 AM

i wanna create a website that someone add domains and e-mail and then i send him appraisal so i created this code:
this is index.htm page

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>dnValley</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<div align="center">
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p><a href="index.htm"><img src="logito.gif" width="350" height="77" alt="dnValley" border="0"></a> 
  </p>
  <p> 

<FORM action="submit.php" method="POST">
    <textarea name="domains" cols="50" rows="5">Add here the domain names, the domain names must be yours, we don't have time doing appraisals for domains just for your fun. Please don't add more than 25 domains in this text box and per day.</textarea>
    <br>
    <input type="text" name="email" value="Insert here your e-mail here" size="30">
  <p></p>
  <p> 
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Do the appraisals...">
</FORM>
 
 <p></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

and the submit.php is this:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/120454-problem-with-php.html

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>dnValley</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">



<div align="center"><br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  <img src="submitting.gif" width="416" height="91"> 
</div>
<?php

$msg .= "Domain Names: $_POST[domains]\n";
$msg .= "E-mail: $POST[email]\n";
$recipient .= "email@gmail.com";
$subject = "From dnValley";
mail ($recipient, $subject, $msg);

?>
</body>
</html>

I'm not sure but try adding tick marks (') to the $_POST array variables

Code:

$msg .= "Domain Names: $_POST['domains']\n";
$msg .= "E-mail: $POST['email']\n";

or try taking the $_POST out of the quote marks, that has given me problems before

Code:

$msg .= 'Domain Names: ' . $_POST['domains'] . '\n';
$msg .= 'E-mail: ' . $POST['email'] . '\n';

monRa:

I see two errors:

PHP Code:

  $msg .= "Domain Names: $_POST[domains]\n";

$msg .= "E-mail: $POST[email]\n";

$recipient .= "email@gmail.com";

$subject = "From dnValley";

mail ($recipient, $subject, $msg);

This line:

PHP Code:

  $msg .= "E-mail: $POST[email]\n";

Will not properly append the email address to the $msg variable. You forgot the "_" in $_POST.

The second error that I see is:

PHP Code:

  mail ($recipient, $subject, $msg); 

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=120454

You have a space between mail and the opening "(". PHP does not like this. Try removing the space and I think it will work:

PHP Code:

  mail($recipient, $subject, $msg); 

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=120454

Happy coding.

also, hopefully ur host supports php mail() function because some hosts are evil and dont lol

monRa · 09-02-2005, 11:52 AM

I change it all but still not working, i will change host, i use atspace.com at the moment

slantednet · 09-02-2005, 12:25 PM

Post your current code after the changes, so we can see where you stand now. Also, are you getting any error messages, or is it all completing fine and just not getting the email?

monRa · 09-03-2005, 01:18 AM

Complete fine and no getting the mail but let me change host and if still not working will post here

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>

  <br>

  <br>

  <br>

  <img src="submitting.gif" width="416" height="91">

</div>

<?php

 
//Grab the domains and email address..

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=120454
$domains = $_POST['domains'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

 
//Check to see if email is valid

$validate = eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$", $email);

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=120454
 
if (!$validate)

{

   //The email is not valid..

   echo($email . " is NOT a valid email.");

 
}

//Ok, the email is valid :)

else

 
{

 
$e = $email;

 
}

 
$message = stripslashes($domains);

$recipient = "dnvalley@gmail.com";

$subject = "From dnValley";

 
$headers = 'From: '.$e.'';

 
//Send the email...

mail("$recipient", "$subject","

 
E-mail address:

 
$e 
 
Domains:

 
$msg

?>

</body>
