Send A Link Coding

tphalen

Ok, on my site I have a little box that states:

If you like the site, send it to a friend.

When they click on the link (the word 'send'), my script comes up, displays a little box, they fill in the recipients e-mail addy, their name and a comment, if they choose. Works great if the mail.php AND the index.php (the calling file) are both located in the base folder. Now, when I move the calling file (index.php or whatever) to another folder, the link no longer works... HELP!!!!!

mail.php file:

<?php
// If the mail form has been submitted
if (isset($POST['submit']))
{
//Designate a mail header and body
$headers = "FROM:Webmaster@Racing-Setups.com\n";
$body = "Your friend, ".$POST['name'].", thought you'd be interested in this web site:\nhttp://www.Racing-Setups.com.\n\nThis site is the most comprehensive online racing site on the web! Check it out!".$POST['id'];
//Mail the article URL
mail($POST['recipient'], "Racing-Setups.com Web Site",$body,$headers);
//Notify the user
echo "<font size=1 color=ffffff face=verdana>The link has been e-mailed to<br />".$POST['recipient'].".<br /><br />";
}
?>
<body bgcolor=5b5b5b>
<font size=1 color=ffffff face=verdana>
Share this site with a friend!<br /><br />
<form action="mail.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $GET['id'];?>" />
<font color=ffffff size=1 face=verdana>
Recipients E-mail:<br />
<input type="text" name="recipient" size="20" maxlength="40" value="" /><br /><br />
<font color=ffffff size=1 face=verdana>
Your Name:<br />
<input type="text" name="name" size="20" maxlength="40" value="" />
</p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Link!" />
</form>

Calling code:

<h2>Look around...and if you enjoy the site, <a href="#" onClick="mail(<?php echo $id; ?>);">send</a> it to some friends!!!!

Thanks in advance!

how about you just do:
<a href="mail.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>">send</a>

Then, instead of using $POST, use $GET to get the page ID that they were on in the mail.php script

Ok. Tried that. It now brings up a Page Not Found message.

To be sure, this is the new line of code in the mail.php file:

//Designate a mail header and body
$headers = "FROM:Webmaster@Racing-Setups.com\n";
$body = "Your friend, ".$POST['name'].", thought you'd be interested in this web site:\nhttp://www.Racing-Setups.com.\n\nThis site is the most comprehensive online racing site on the web! Check it out!".$GET['id'];

This is correct, right???

Sorry, I did not give the complete calling code before....here it is:

This includes the code you suggested.

Thanks so much. I'm pretty much a noob. Trying to get one code to work so I can expand on that!

go back to your original code....

The problem is the path you use with the JS code. If you move mail.php to a sub-folder, you have to update the path to mail.php in the java code.

Mr Brett....you rule, bud!!!! I knew it would be something pretty simple...guess I needed to look a little closer at the code to figure it out!

Thanks so much!
