mail(); function

[tbobker]

I am trying to mail multiple fields from a contact form and it is not working. I have been trying to create a $message variable that contains 3 fields so i can mail them together.

this is what i have;

<?php

  $email = $_POST['email'] ;

  $message = ".$_POST['name']."".$_POST['company']."".$_POST['text'].";

  mail( "[e-mail]", "From your trusting clients",
    $message, "From: $email");
   echo "your message has been sent<br><a href='index.html'>Home</a>";
?>

can anyone help me?

Start with the obvious: what the heck is this line supposed to be?

$message = ".$_POST['name']."".$_POST['company']."".$_POST['text'].";

If you're not seeing any error messages from it, then get your error reporting set up so that you do. Then check out strings and how to concatenate them in the manual.

try the following

<?php

$email = $_POST['email'] ;

$message = "$POST['name'] $POST['company'] $POST['text']";
or
$message = $POST['name']." ".$POST['company']." ".$POST['text'];

mail( "[e-mail]", "From your trusting clients",
$message, "From: $email");
echo "your message has been sent<br><a href='index.html'>Home</a>";
?>

Hey thanks, but how can i view the text with line breaks and labels: ie so i know what is the name, company and the message:

$message = "Name".$POST['name']."'<br>Company' ".$POST['company']."'<br>Message:' ".$_POST['text'];

I cant get it to work.
