$msg .= $POST[clanname]."\r\n";

kevinsequeira

ur may be missing a } or have an extra { somewhere in your code, most likely in the mail() function bit, check it properly, if u cant find it post the code as it is exactly

EDIT : also check if ure missing a $ before the variable name

reg
kevin

talkster5

talkster5

kevinsequeira

It looks like this is going to be problematic:

<?php 

if ($_POST['send'] == "ok") 
{ 
$msg .= $_POST[fullname]."\r\n"; 
$msg .= $_POST[clanname]."\r\n";

It should be

<?php 

if ($_POST['send'] == "ok") 
{ 
$msg = $_POST[fullname]."\r\n"; 
$msg .= $_POST[clanname]."\r\n";

<?php 

$msg = "";

if ($_POST['send'] == "ok") 
{ 
$msg .= $_POST[fullname]."\r\n";
$msg .= $_POST[clanname]."\r\n";

kevinsequeira

well it shouldnt really matter, though its a better programming practise to have $msg="" before the if statement, however the error in this case is the missing }

This spits an error:

<?PHP
$text .= "test one";
$text .= "test two";
echo $text;
?>

But this does not:

<?PHP
$text = "test one";
$text .= "test two";
echo $text;
?>

And this does not:

<?PHP
$text = "";
$text .= "test one";
$text .= "test two";
echo $text;
?>

talkster5

well i still get an error ill give u the code and u try it out for me

if (!mail("talkster5@hotmail.com","subject", $msg , $headers){
echo('could not send');
}else{
echo('e-mail sent');

</body>
</html>

kevinsequeira
