Newb Email form not processing

foster_dchi

Let me start off by saying that this is my first time using PHP. I'm trying to create an email form, but I keep getting the following errors when its submitted. I understand what the first two error messages mean, but I'm not sure about the last two.

Notice: Undefined variable: message in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vcudeltachi\rush\sendmail.php on line 3

Notice: Undefined variable: email in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vcudeltachi\rush\sendmail.php on line 3

Warning: Server Error in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vcudeltachi\rush\sendmail.php on line 3

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vcudeltachi\rush\sendmail.php:3) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vcudeltachi\rush\sendmail.php on line 4

Here is the code for my form.

<html>

<body>

<FORM method=post action="sendmail.php">
Email: <INPUT name="email" type="text"><br>
Message:<br>
<TEXTAREA name="message">
</textarea><br>
<input type=submit>
</FORM>

</body>

</html>

Here is the code for my sendmail.php script.

<?
mail( "foster_dchi@hotmail.com", "Feedback Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.vcudeltachi.org" );
?>

Can anyone give me a hand with this?

The last error is likely caused by the 3rd one, as warning message is printed, header would not work!

And for the 3rd error, this may due to your setting in the server (setting of PHP and apache or even the server has not installed smtp yet?).

Notice: Undefined variable: email in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vcudeltachi\rush\sendmail.php on line 3

Errors can be a b***h to look at but they help you alot. $message and $email arent defined many somehow you made them up from nothing. Now this would most likely have to do with the php.ini setting. Id use $_POST in your case to fix this.

Thanks, that did the trick.

<?
$email = $POST['email'];
$message = $POST['message'];
mail( "foster_dchi@hotmail.com", "Feedback Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.vcudeltachi.org" );
?>
