header already sent ?

[r4ck4]

hello everybody,
please help me with the following problem.

Warning: Server Error in D:\Pages\Koyopage\global\sendmail.php on line 70

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\Pages\Koyopage\global\sendmail.php:70) in D:\Pages\Koyopage\global\sendmail.php on line 164

i cant find the error...

here ist the sendmailscript...
http://www.zoozoozoo.de/koyo/sendmail.txt

and on some servers this script is working fine, but this time
it doesnt work...

thanks a lot

to use header(), you may not print anything on the website before the function.

[the_Igel]

The second warning is consequent to first: first message is printed, so the output is started, so you can't add headers from now on.

What is the first problem, i can't say by now. Warning about 'SERVER ERROR' seems strange, never seen anything alike.

Try to put some changes to PARSE function, maybe you'll get a key to the problem.

[r4ck4]

on some servers this scripts does work....
is there a definitive error in it ?

[r4ck4]

could this error be caused by a badly configurated server?

[the_Igel]

If it works somewhere, then the problem is with server.
Either it's bad configured, or php version not "good enough" for the script, or smth.

But as for me, i can't see anything strange in the code.

The error message point to a line with curly brace, it usually means unpaired opening or closing brace or quote or smth. But in such a case you usually get PARSE ERROR warning, not a SERVER ERROR...

[the_Igel]

there are some not-so-good points in the code, for example, $content is not assigned an initial value, or count($reserved_keys) is re-evaluated on every iteration, but no evident errors.
Or maybe I'm blind 🙂

[r4ck4]

dont know much about server config...

http://www.koyo.de/global/test.php

this is the server where the script doesnt run

[the_Igel]

Can you really send mail from the server?
I'm no guru in config, but sendmail_path = no_value seems suspitious for me.

[r4ck4]

as an admin where could i change the path ?
thanx a lot

[bernouli]

open and edit the file
C:\WINNT\php.ini

[the_Igel]

Somewhere in php.ini

But i'm not sure it will help. I have almost no expierence with configuring, and I have no idea what is the problem with your script. It may be easily it has nothing to do with sendmail_path. I'm nearly sure it hasn't 🙂

[r4ck4]

tahnks to everybody - now its working....didnt work because of a badly configured windows-server....the mailserver wasnt spezified...

[r4ck4]

if my form submitts a variable called "empfaenger" and i want that this variable should be the person which retrives the email, how could i realize this ? at this time the mail is always send to $recpient = '[e-mail]' ....

[the_Igel]

let send-to address be
$empfaenger.'@koyo.de'
or
$empfaenger
if it's complete address.

Or, not to get critisized by all 'don't-forget-register_globals_OFF' people 🙂,
$_GET['empfaenger'] instead of $empfaenger.

Is here any problem?

Or did i misunderstood the question?..

[r4ck4]

so does this mean :

$recipient = $_GET['empfaenger'];
$require ='empfaenger,name,e_mail,message';
$subject ='Mail von Homepage';
$redirect ='mail_bestaetigung.html';

[the_Igel]

Yes. If empfaenger is a full mail address, then it should work as needed.

[r4ck4]

does this mean

$recipient = $_GET['empfaenger'];
$require ='empfaenger,name,e_mail,message';
$subject ='Mail von Homepage';
$redirect ='mail_bestaetigung.html';
$fehler ='';
$report =true;

this is the form on a html-page...

<form name="kontakformular" method="post" action="/global/sendmail.php">
<select id=f1 name="empfaenger">

            <option value="[e-mail]">Frau Karin Rhode</option>
            <option value="[e-mail]">Herr Gerhard D&uuml;hrkopp</option>
            <option value="[e-mail]">Herr Georg L&uuml;ckert</option>

..
..
</form>

and so on...

[the_Igel]

Yeah.
Or, at least, you may try it 🙂
