help needed for email script

paldo

All my friends are registered at the same email address @samecompany.com.
(for all of them the email address is :firstname.lastname@samecompany.com

I ask them to register with firstname and lastname, my script should replay to them automatically with firstname.lastname@samecompany.com

Here the script that I tried to write but with no success:
<?php // Script 5.2 - informations.php

// Address error handing.
ini_set ('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// In case register_globals is disabled.
$first_name = $POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $POST['last_name'];
$posting = $_POST['posting'];

// Create a name variable.
$name1="$first_name.$last_name"
$name2='@samecompany.com'

// Print the message.
print "blablabla 
$posting";

// Send the email.
$body = "blablabla";

	mail ($_POST['name1name2']);

subwayman

mail ($_POST['name1name2']);

$_POST['name2name2'] is not set anywhere.

mail() has the form:

bool mail ( string to, string subject, string message [, string additional_headers [, string additional_parameters]] )
So has at least three arguments. Try

mail($name1.$name2,"subject",$ body);

Dear subwayman

where is the problem on my script?
In the registration form, I get the first_name and last_name. No mail address needed as all have the same server address (@samecompany.com).

My script:
<html>
<head>
<title>password_request1</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

<?php // Script 5.2 - password_request1.php

// Address error handing.
ini_set ('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// In case register_globals is disabled.
$first_name = $POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $POST['last_name'];
$posting = $_POST['posting'];

// Create a name variable.
$name=$first_name;
$full_name=$firstname.$lastname;
$full_email = $full_name.'@samecompany.com';

// Print the message.
print "Thank you, $name, for your request. Check your inbox at crewmail for username and password. 
$posting";

// Send the email.
$body = "Thank you for visiting www.blablabla Login: username=x, password=y";

	mail ($_POST['full_email'], 'blablabla', $body, "From: [email]@swiss.com\r\nBcc:cspm@tele2.ch[/email]");

?>
</body>
</html>

</body>
</html>

Do you know the reason why the one who register doesn't receive a email?

Thanks very much

subwayman

Looks OK to me. Just found this in the php manual:

Note: If messages are not received, try using a LF (\n) only. Some poor quality Unix mail transfer agents replace LF by CRLF automatically (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF is used). This should be a last resort, as it does not comply with RFC 2822.

Perhaps that's your problem.

mail ($_POST['full_email'], 'blablabla', $body, "From: [email]@swiss.com\r\nBcc:cspm@tele2.ch[/email]");

You are creating the full email address in your script, it is not POSTed. So the To: address should be $full_email

mail ($full_email, 'blablabla', $body, "From: @swiss.com\r\nBcc:cspm@tele2.ch");

Thanks neerav, the script works how you've suggested. I'm very happy to have my first script running. Also many thanks to the entire phpbuilder community.
