Sending form as email

weblance

Hi,

I'm an absolute new newbie in PHP!!

I'm trying to make a mailinglist form. The user has to enter a name and a email.

Problem 1: When the user presses send I get 2 email.

Problem 2: If I try to insert a new textarea in my form, and I insert the new corresponding PHP tags, the mail is not sent!

Can anyone tell me why??

This is the script, and sorry . . . it's in danish (hope it's understandable anyway):

<?php
if($POST['navn'] && $POST['email'])
{ mail("mymail@midomain.dk", "PC-Vandkøling mailinglist", $POST['navn'], $POST['email']);
}

?>
<form method="post" action="<? echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];?>">
<table width="39%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="33%" height="30"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Navn:</font>
</td>
<td width="67%" height="30"><input name="navn" type="text" size="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="30"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">E-mail:</font>
</td>
<td><input name="email" type="text" size="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><div align="center"> </div>
<div align="center">
<input type="submit" name="s1" value="Send">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

You may want to try something like this:

<?php
$get_navn = @$POST['navn'];
$get_email = @$POST['email'];

if( isset($get_navn) && isset($get_email) )
{
$checkmail = mail("mymail@midomain.dk", "PC-Vandkøling mailinglist", $get_navn, $get_email);

if(!$checkmail)

{
print "Problem with mail server";
}
else {
print "Mail was sent";
}

}
?>

here is my contact form...maybe it will help you figure it out

  

  if (!$_POST['submit']){
     echo $page_header;
     show_form();
  }else{
     email_parts();

 header("location:../confirm.html");
  } //end if

function email_parts()
{
  global $page_header;
 //send an email to the parts area
 $your_name=$_POST['yourname'];
 $email=$_POST['email'];
 $details=$_POST['details'];
 $job=$_POST['jobtype'];
 $when=$_POST['when'];
 $desc=nl2br($details);

 if ((strlen($your_name>1))||(strlen($email>5))||(stristr($email,"@bastienkoert.com"))||(!isset($desc))){
   echo $page_header;
   show_form();
 }else{
   //prep the email
   $to="bastien@bastienkoert.com";

   //add the headers to create the html email
   $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
   $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
   $headers .= "From: $your_name<$email>\nX-Mailer: PHP Automated Mailer";

   //prep the subject of the email
   $subject="Request for services with $job";

   //prep the body of the email
   $body="<html><body><h2>Request for $job</h2><br />
          The following $desc have been requested for <b>$job</b> by:<br />
          $your_name<br>
          please contact $your_name at Email: <a href=\"mailto:$email\">$email</a> <br />
          ";

   mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
 }//end if
} //end function
