Small form issue

[rob_illinois]

I have a small form "name,company,email and message". I have it setup in flash mx and it calls a php script. When I hit submit I get no email. In server errors I get this error:

[error] PHP Warning: mail() expects at most 5 parameters, 6 given in /home/bsp/publicl/test/simplemail3.php on line 8

The php script is:

<?php
$email = "[e-mail]";
$subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'];
$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
$company = $HTTP_POST_VARS['company'];
$email2 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email2'];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];
mail($email, $subject, $name, $company, $email2, $message);
echo "mailstatus=The mail has been sent!&thescript=done&";
?>

What am I missing here?

The problem is that you're passing six parameters to the "mail()" function, while it expects, at most, five. Here's a link to the documentation.

I seen that but I count six the email and then the 5 fields I want in the body of the e-mail.

If I want it to do this what needs to change?

Ok I changed to this. But now I hit send and it says processing message and that is it, never sends. Ideas?

<?php
$email = "[e-mail]";
$subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];
$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
$company = $HTTP_POST_VARS['company'];
mail($email, $subject, $name, $company, $message);
echo "mailstatus=The mail has been sent!&thescript=done&";
?>

did you bother following the link that Installer posted and reading the [man]mail[/man] documentation? you are are not feeding the correct arguments to mail().

mail (string to, string subject, string message [, string additional_headers [, string additional_parameters]])

the 4th and 5th arguments are optional. here is a simple example:

$to = '[e-mail]';
$from = 'from: [email][e-mail][/email]';
$subject = 'this is a test email subject';
$message = 'this is a test email message';

$mail = mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);
if ($mail) {echo 'mail send OK';}
else {echo 'mail send FAILED';}

Yes I did go and read the mail stuff. I guess I am a little confused.

I have a simple form where the user files in 4 boxes and then hits send. I though this would be setup like I had it so the information filled in would be e-mailed to the address in the script. I see you have from in the script and I am not sure why. The user files in name,company,emai and a message when I get it I want it to look like this:

name: rob
company: test
e-mai: [e-mail]
message: testing

I have the form in flash. this is what I have for code on the flash submit button:

on (release) {
subject = "Testing Mail";
message="Name="+name+newline+"Company="+company+newline+"email2="+email2+newline+"message="+message+newline;
this.loadVariables("simple.php","POST");
mailstatus="Message being processed";}

This is what I am talking about and what I am trying to accomplish. can you help?

Thanks

<?
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
	$value = strip_tags($value);
	$value = stripslashes($value);
	$value = trim($value);
	$$key = $value;
}

$to = '[e-mail]';
$from = 'from: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>';
$subject = 'this is an email from my form';
$body = 'name: ' . $name . "\n" . 'email: ' . $email . "\n" . 'company: ' . $company . "\n" . 'message: ' . $message;

$mail = mail($to, $subject, $body, $from); 
if ($mail) {echo 'mail send OK';} 
else {echo 'mail send FAILED';}
?>

Ok thanks.

It Says procesing mail.....

and stays there. arghhhh

I get it to send now after I change some stuff.

Here is what I get: (using 1,2,3,4 for input per line)
name: 1
email: 3
company: 2
message: Name=1
Company=2
email2=
message=

I want it to look like this though:

name: 1
company: 2
email: 3
message: 4

Here is the php script:

<?php
$email = "[e-mail]";
$subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];
mail($email,$subject,$message);
echo "mailstatus=The mail has been sent!&thescript=done&";
?>
