mail variables problem

tomeralmog

Hi, a begginer question...
I am trying to send mail through flash, using php mail function, and I am trying to send an HTML document. I can't seem to extract the variables from the php to the html I am sending
Help?

What have you tried so far / What do you know about php.

In principle:

-> Submit te form to the script
-> Depending on the form METHOD (POST or GET) retrieve the variables like this (MyVar = name of formfield):
$MyVar = $GET[MyVar];
or
$MyVar = $POST[MyVar];, eg:

$from = $POST[email];
$name = $POST[name];
$message = $_POST[message];
$to = "yourname@yourdomain";
$subject = "message";

-> Create the message:

$message_body = "    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta content=\"text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\">
    </head>
    <body bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" text=\"#000000\">
    ";

$message_body .= "$Name has send you an email:<br>$message";
$message_body .= "</body></html>";
// Send the email:


    /* To send HTML mail, set the Content-type header. */
    $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
    /* additional headers */
    $headers .= "from: $name <$from>\r\n";


    if(mail($to, $subject, $message_body, $headers))
      {
     // Your succes message

      }

Of course, if he is going to be using GET on the same page, he might want to use ISSET, so it doesn't e-mail him everytime he gets a page view. :rolleyes:


<?

if(isset($_POST['submit']) {

        mail(x, x, x);

}

?>

Well,

Yeah, obvisouly there is a lot of user-input verification to be done, a time-delay to avoid spammers and/or a code image. etcetc.

But I am not sure what level the asker is. Don't want to swamp him straight away.
