[RESOLVED] No Input File Specified Error

stormyeyedbear

I've created a feedback form in html, and am trying to write the processing script in php. I thought that I had it fixed, but this thing continues to give me trouble. I inserted the code that I was given by someone on this forum, but don;t know if I did it correctly. Could someone please help me? I would really appreciate it.

Here's the form code.

Here is the php code for the 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']); 
} 

if(isset($_POST['emailaddress'])) { 
     $name = trim($_POST['emailaddress']); 
} 

if(isset($_POST['topic'])) { 
     $name = trim($_POST['topic']); 
} 

if(isset($_POST['feedback'])) { 
     $name = trim($_POST['feedback']); 
} 


$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 = "stormyeyedbear@gmail.com";
$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>

Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong and possibly show me how to fix it?

Just tried out your code on my server. I changed the send to email to mine. The email generated just included the name, the other details were blank.

The main reason for this script not working is your use of capitals. For example in your HTML form you say the email address name is EmailAddress. Then in your PHP script you refer to it as emailaddress (but the actual posted value is held under EmailAddress).

I ammended the PHP code for you and now it works. Use this:

<?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']);  

}  

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

     $name = trim($_POST['EmailAddress']);  

}  

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

     $name = trim($_POST['Topic']);  

}  

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

     $name = trim($_POST['Feedback']);  

}  


$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 = "stormyeyedbear@gmail.com"; 
$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>

I took the code that you amended and placed it in the file, and it didn't work at first. I feel kinda dumb, because after stepping back from it for a little bit, then looking at it again, I found the underlying cause of the problem. When I created the ISSET statement for the Name variable, I copied and pasted it to create the other variables.

<?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']);   

}   

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

     $name = trim($_POST['EmailAddress']);   

}   

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

     $name = trim($_POST['Topic']);   

}   

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

     $name = trim($_POST['Feedback']); 
?>

In the code above, the variable $Name is set. After I copied and pasted it, I changed the $_POST portions to reflect the other variables that I needed, but failed to actually change the variable $Name to reflect the other variables. Basically, I had everything declared to one variable.

The code should look like this.

<?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']);   

}   

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

     $EmailAddress = trim($_POST['EmailAddress']);   

}   

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

     $Topic = trim($_POST['Topic']);   

}   

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

     $Feedback = trim($_POST['Feedback']);   

}   

?>

It's fixed and working now, and I really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
