mail form doesnt work, no errors?

scuzzo

I have a php mail form on my site http://www.deepintellect.com/contact.htm and it works fine. I then wanted to make another page using a modded php script that contact.htm uses. For some reason I hit submit on the page and it goes to the php page, and its blank, and no errors displayed? its supposed to go to a thank you page....and its wierd because im using almost the same php script...

here is the .htm page

<form action="webdev2.php" method="post" name="" id="">

    <tr> 
      <td width="104">First Name:</td>
      <td width="167"><input name="name" type="text" id="name"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td>Email:</td>
      <td><input name="email" type="text" id="email"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

here is the php page

 
<?php 
if ($submit) 
{ 
if (empty($name) || empty($email)) 
{ 
echo "Your name and email is required. "; 
echo "Please use your browser's back button to return to the form and try again"; 
} 
else 
{ 

/*----- BELOW IS THE MESSAGE FORMAT -----*/ 

$sendto = "sales@deepintellect.com"; 
$subject = "Customers Question Contact Form"; 
//$replyto = "sales@deepintellect.com"; 
$message = "Form Results below from . 
First Name: $name 
Email: $email 

"; // END MESSAGE FORMAT 

mail("$sendto","$subject","$message","From:$email"); 
header('Location: [url]http://www.deepintellect.com/thank.htm[/url]'); 
die(); 
} 
} 
?>

Try changing you header file to:
header("Location: http://www.deepintellect.com/thank.htm\n");

its just goes to webdev2.php and its a blank page

Corpheous

I believe for your variables in your PHP page you have to use $POST[name] or $POST['name'] and the same for email. Whenever using form variables from a previous page that's what I use at least. And I wouldn't use "name" as a variable, I'd try to be more descriptive so it doesn't interfere with any reserved words and you know what the heck you're looking at when you try to edit your code a couple months down the road. 🙂

I dont understand how come my contact page works. contact.htm and contactmail.php , and im just using the contactmai.php form as a template, just adding some fields, like budget, phone number and so on.

contactmai.php

 
<?php 
if ($submit) 
{ 
if (empty($name) || empty($email)) 
{ 
echo "Your name and email is required. "; 
echo "Please use your browser's back button to return to the form and try again"; 
} 
else 
{ 

/*----- BELOW IS THE MESSAGE FORMAT -----*/ 

$sendto = "sales@deepintellect.com"; 
$subject = "Customers Question Contact Form"; 
//$replyto = "sales@deepintellect.com"; 
$message = "Form Results below from . 

First Name: $name 

Email: $email 

Comments: $comments

"; // END MESSAGE FORMAT 

mail("$sendto","$subject","$message","From:$email"); 
header('Location: [url]http://www.deepintellect.com/thank.htm[/url]'); 
die(); 
} 
} 
?>

[/B]

I think the problem is that the php page only runs if $submit is true, but the name of the submit button is $Submit. If you change it so that the php page is checking for $Submit, i.e.
if ($Submit)
then it'll probably work right.

You can also test this theory by doing this:

if ($Submit)
{
your page
}
else
{
echo "error";
}

Kello you are the man/woman! It works i changed the Submit to submit. dances
