which im trying to pass to this

PHP script (contact.php)

 

<?php

ARRIVED AT PHP

if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

 

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED

$email_to = "[email protected])";

$email_subject = "web query";

 

 

$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";

 

function clean_string($string) {

$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");

return str_replace($bad,"",$string);

}

 

$email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($name)."\n";

$email_message .= "contact: ".clean_string($phone)."\n";

// create email headers

$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".

'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .

'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

Evening. The message won't display as you written it inside the <?php tag. If you want it to display a message wrap it in an echo statement, e.g. echo("my message");

 

Also your querying the 'post' array when you submitted the form as a 'get'. Try method="post" rather than method="get".

 

Cheers.

[bondango]

still nowt..will have a fresh look at it tomorrow

[SupraShaun]

As optim8 said, change your form method to post. But also you need to "return false" at the end of your form submit onclick, otherwise it will just follow the href (in this case just refresh the page). Here you go:

 

Submit

 

Is there any reason why you are using an "a" with an onclick rather than a "submit" input type? As should the form user have javascript disabled they wont be able to submit the form (which may not matter, depending on your audience).

 

Also ARRIVED AT PHP isnt commented out, so change that to // ARRIVED AT PHP

Well that seems to be passing it to the PHP script now. To be honest, this web malarky isnt my thing lol.

I would like the information pushed to the contact.php page but not the user i.e. when they click submit the page refreshes but the information is still passed to the contact script

[SupraShaun]

Cool

 

So is it working as you want now?

[bondango]

well on submitt the user gets a blank page (contact.php), i would have like the information to have been passed to the script but the user stays on the Form page if you get my meaning?

[SupraShaun]

I think I see what you mean. Require/ include contact.php (<?php require_once('contact.php');?>) above your form (as it wont run unless your form has been submitted anyway) and then change your form action to <?php print $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']?>.

[optim8]

Here's an example script from W3C Schools. Does what you want basically, just need to change the input fields.

 

 

<?php

if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))

//if "email" is filled out, send email

{

//send email

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;

$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

mail( "[email protected]", "Subject: $subject",

$message, "From: $email" );

echo "Thank you for using our mail form";

}

else

//if "email" is not filled out, display the form

{

echo "

Email:

 

Subject:

 

Message:

 

 

";

}

?>

 

[bondango]

This is what i have now, but getting a 404 error page

 

<?php require_once('contact.php');?>

 

Reset Submit

 

[SupraShaun]

When you submit the form or just when you view the page?

[bondango]

When you submit the form or just when you view the page?

 

yeah its On submit Shaun

[SupraShaun]

Hmm, put this underneath if(isset($_POST['email'])) { at the top of contact.php to check your getting that far and see whats in the post:

 

print '

';

print_r($_POST);

print '

';

 

exit();

[bondango]

No output, just the 404 page shaun

[SupraShaun]

Hmm, odd. On line 36 you have short php tags () change them to full php tags, so <?php

Shaun im just using a basic editor so no line numbers, but cannot find those short tags in my html just 2 full ones <?php

[SupraShaun]

Its right at the bottom of contact.php

[bondango]

changed, still getting a 404.host.com/? page

[SupraShaun]

Are both files in the same directory? Just for testing purposes put the whole link in the form action, e.g. http://www.domain.com/contact.php

[bondango]

yep shaun both in root directory. this is the error when domain/contact.php i

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/a9209579/public_html/contact.php on line 3

[SupraShaun]

Post the contents of contact.php and I'll have a gander

[bondango]

think i'll stick to cars...

?>

 

Include your own success html here

 

<?php

}

?>

[SupraShaun]

Remove the following for the whole script to run:

 

print '

';

print_r($_POST);

print '

';

 

exit();

[bondango]

com/contact.php shows no errors, but when submitting, going to 404 page
