[RESOLVED] Form Emailing Issue

[stormyeyedbear]

First of all, I'll admit to being a novice where php is concerned. Here's my problem.

I am developing a feedback form, which will be emailed to me when it is submitted. I have the form layout the way I want it, and following a book, have put together a script for handling the form. My problem is in the script. When I tested it on a server, I received an error message stating that no input file was specified. Im not really sure how to change the code to make it work. If someone could look at the code below and help me fix it, I would really appreciate it.

This is the code for the html form:

<form name="formFeedback" method="post" action="send_Feedback.php">
    <div align="left"></div>
    <table width="67%" height="696" border="1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
      <tr> 
        <td bgcolor="#e6dfa5"> <p> 
            <label><font color="#0000FF"><strong>1. What is your name? </strong></font></label>
            <strong><font color="#0000FF">(optional) </font></strong></p></td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td height="59"> <div align="center"> 
            <p> Name: 
              <input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" size="30">
              <br>
            </p>
          </div></td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td bgcolor="#e6dfa5"> <label><font color="#0000FF"><strong>2. What is 
          your e-mail address? (optional)</strong></font></label> <font color="#0000FF">&nbsp;</font></td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td height="117"> <p align="center"><font color="#0000FF"><font color="#000000"> 
            Please indicate the email address to which you would like a response 
            to be sent.</font>&nbsp;</font></p>
          <p align="center">Email Address: 
            <input name="EmailAddress" type="text" id="EmailAddress" size="30">
            <br>
            Example: [e-mail]<br>
            <br>
          </p></td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td bgcolor="#e6dfa5"> <label><font color="#0000FF"><strong>3. What are 
          you writing about?</strong></font></label> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td height="93"> <p align="center">Please choose the topic that most appropriately 
            fits your message.</p>
          <p align="center"> 
            <label><font color="#0000FF"> 
            <select name="Topic" id="Topic">
              <option value="Please Select" selected>Please Select</option>
              <option value="Web Bugs">Web Bugs</option>
              <option value="Textbook Problem">Textbook Problem</option>
              <option value="General Suggestions">General Suggestions</option>
              <option value="Questions">Questions</option>
            </select>
            </font></label>
            <label><br>
            <br>
            </label>
          </p></td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td bgcolor="#e6dfa5"> <label><font color="#0000FF"><strong>4. Type your 
          feedback here:</strong></font></label> <font color="#000000">&nbsp;</font></td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td height="241"> <p align="center"> 
            <label><font color="#000000">Please be as detailed and descriptive 
            as possible.</font></label>
          </p>
          <p align="center"> 
            <textarea name="Feedback" cols="65" rows="10" id="Feedback"></textarea>
          </p></td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td height="23" bgcolor="#e6dfa5"> <label><font color="#0000FF"><strong>5. 
          Submit the form:</strong></font></label> <strong><font color="#0000FF">&nbsp;</font></strong></td>
      </tr>
      <tr> 
        <td><div align="center"> 
            <p><font color="#0000FF"> 
              <input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit" value="Submit">
              <input name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset" value="Reset">
              </font></p>
          </div></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    <p> 
      <label></label>
    </p>
      </form>

Here is the php script that I put together to handle the form:

<?
$msg = "E-mail sent from www site\n";
$msg .="Sender's Name: \t$name\n";
$msg .="Sender's Email:\t$emailaddress\n";
$msg .="Topic:\t$topic\n";
$msg .="Message:\t$feedback\n\n";

$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "ASPS Feedback";
$mailheaders = "From: My Web Site <> \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $emailaddress\n\n";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Feedback Form Sent</title>
</head>

<body>
<h2>The following e-mail has been sent:</h2>

<p><strong>Your Name:</strong><br>
<? echo "$name"; ?></p>

<p><strong>Your Email Address:</strong><br>
<? echo "$emailaddress"; ?></p>

<p><strong>Topic:</strong><br>
<? echo "$topic"; ?></p>

<p><strong>Feedback:</strong><br>
<? echo "$feedback"; ?></p>

</body>
</html>

Hi: It appears you aren't converting the posted array elements' values to variables prior to using them in your script.

<?php
// if it is set, convert the post array item
// and assign it's value to a variable:
if(isset($_POST['Name'])) {
     $name = trim($_POST['Name']);
}
?>

You will have to do this with email, name, topic, and feedback.

You may also consider doing some error checking prior to mailing the form in the event that the email address isn't filled out.

HTH.

I thought I had this resolved, but I'm still having issues.

Rodney, where exactly do I place the code that you posted above? Does it go in the html form page, or does it go in the php script page?
