mail() from a button

[Butthead]

I'm trying to get my page to send out an email containing already known variables by clicking on a link.

Is it possible to have php do something like:

print "<form action='/pg_test.php' method='post'>
<input type='image' name='mailit' src='/images/add.png'>
</form>";

and have something in the top of the script that says:

if (isset($POST['mailit'])){
$email = mail("emailaddress", "Do not call addition", "$POST[areacode] $POST[prefix] $POST[suffix]",
"From: [e-mail]\r\n");
}

Sure. Why not?

heh, cuz it's not working ;-)

An <INPUT type="image"> does not just submit its name. You have to check for:

input_x
and
input_y

The browser sends the x and y coordinates of where the user clicked to the script. That would be why it is not working. You could try changing the if() to check for mailit_x rather than just mailit.

Hope that helps!

yup
if (isset($_POST['mailit_x'])){
mail(stuff...)
}

Worked perfectly. Again with the answers magiclab! thanks!
