display fields from contact form

bufhal

Hi;
hope someone can help me.
I have a conact form with the following post command:
<form action="thankyou.php" method="post" name="contactform" id="contactform">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="contactform" />
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Response from Web Form" />

My question is: How can I have the contact form typed input from the user display on my PHP page (i.e. the contact form uses <input type="text" name="Username" size="45" /></td>). How can the PHP display the results?

Thank you very much in advance..I appreciate any help.

Below is the thankyou.php page.

<?php
session_cache_limiter('nocache');
session_start();

include "subs.php";

Print_header ("Get Password","",0);
?>

<br><center><h1>Thank You!</h1></center><br>
<TABLE border="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<TR>
<TD width=600><BR>
<BR>

</TD></TR></TABLE>
<?
Print_footer ();

You can reference any of the fields using the $_POST superglobal array.

To get the user name you'd use

<?
echo $_POST['Username']; //prints the value of "Username" from the form
?>

Thank you for the reply ClarkF1;

So if there is no entry in a field, there will be nothing displayed on the PHP page?

ClarkF1

It will display an empty string i.e. nothing if the field is empty

bufhal

one last question, please.

This will display the user info typed into the form on the previous page?

Thank you for your time...

working fine...thanks

One last question, please.
In am trying to find the new line char in PHP so the info will break to the next line. I tries /r
but got parse error.
Thanks for your help

The special characters in PHP are all preceded by a backslash. In addition, you're probably wanting to search for \n, or maybe \r\n (depending on OS).

If you're getting a parse error, however, it sounds like you didn't use a function correctly when searching. Show us the code you used to do this.

Just trying to get these to skip a line

<?
echo $_POST['Realname'];

echo $_POST['Username'];

echo $_POST['Title'];

echo $_POST['Company'];

Thanks for your help.

bradgrafelman

What do you mean, skip a line? Just put a linebreak after each item?

echo $_POST['Realname'] . '<br>' . $_POST['Username'] . '<br>'; // etc.

that worked..thanks
