submiting form

NoBullMan

I am trying to submit a form, embedded in a php file, to itself. I am not sure if the image that is supposed to submit the form is correct. This file is called from another file with variables msg and msg_type passed to it.

<?php
if (isset($posted)) {
  $msg_type = $_POST['msg_type'];
  $OK = $_POST['OK'];
 < do some stuff here>
}
else {
  $msg_type = stripslashes($_GET['msg_type']);
  $msg = stripslashes($_GET['msg']);
?>
  <form name="msgbox" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
  <input type="hidden" name="msg_type" value="<?php echo $msg_type; ?>">
  <input type="hidden" name="OK" value="0">
  <input type="hidden" name="posted" value="1">
<label><?php echo $msg; ?></label>
  <a href="javascript:;" onClick="document.msgbox.OK.value=1; document.msgbox.submit();self.close();"><img src="images/OK.gif"></a>
  <a href="javascript:;" onClick="document.msgbox.submit();self.close();"><img src="images/oops3.gif"></a>
</form>
<?php
}
?>

Not a PHP problem. Your HTML is bad. Specifically, you have no SUBMIT button (therefore your page requires javascript) your javascript URLs look broken. Note that there should be no space in "javascript."

The space for the javascript is automatically created by vBulletin in certain tags I believe. (it won't show up properly without space AFAIK).

Your code is kind of messy...

Here's an example - neat javascript with forms:

<html>

<head>

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function check() {
if (document.daform.fname.value=="") {
alert("You did not fill our your first name.");
}
if (document.daform.lname.value=="") {
alert("You did not fill our your last name.");
}
if (document.daform.number.value=="") {
alert("You did not fill our your number.");
} else {
location.href="blah2.html";
}
}
-->
</script>

</head>

<body>

<form name="daform">
First Name: <input type="text" size="15" name="fname">
<br>
Last Name: <input type="text" size="15" name="lname">
<br>
Number: <input type="text" size="15" name="number">
<br>
<input type="Button" value="Submit" name="Submit" onclick="check()">
</form>

</body>

</html>

<? 
if($submit) //If submit is pressed 
{ 
mail("youremailaddress@whatever.com", "$subject", "$email", "$comments"); 
} else {?> 
<form method='post' action='<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>'> 
E-Mail: <INPUT TYPE='TEXT' NAME='email' size=60> 
Subject: <INPUT TYPE='TEXT' NAME='subject' size=60> 
Comments: <TEXTAREA NAME='comments' ROWS=10 COLS=30></TEXTAREA> 
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'> 
</form> 

<? }?>

Those two PHP mails are submit working included submit button.

Test yourself.
yelvington is right...
if($submit) is when user hit submit, it'll send to your mail

Thanks alot for the info.
If I want to use an image, instead of a button of type "submit", can I do that? Why can't I "onClick" submit the form using the form's "submit()" method?

Thanks
