recieve data from url, like php?bla=bla

[darko886]

Hi, I have 2 servers, one free and one paid. The free one does not allow smtp, so i am trying to forward data from it to another php file on my paid server and email the data. The problem is it does not forward the correct data... Here are my codes...

Forwarding data:

<? 
//initilize PHP

if($_POST['submit']) //If submit is hit
{
   //then connect as user
   //change user and password to your mySQL name and password
   mysql_connect("db5.awardspace.com","darko886_fsacars",""); 

   //select which database you want to edit
   mysql_select_db("darko886_fsacars"); 



   //convert all the posts to variables:
$name = $_POST['name'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$country = $_POST['country'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$Table = "pilots";
$pilot_num = "pilot_num";


   //Insert the values into the correct database with the right fields 
   $result=mysql_query("INSERT INTO pilots (name,city,country,email,admission_date,status)". 
      "VALUES ('$name', '$city', '$country', '$email', '', 'Active')"); 

// last entered
$pilotId = mysql_insert_id();

//update pilot_num
$result = mysql_query("update pilots set pilot_num='INV$pilotId' where pilot_id=$pilotId");


print '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.you-bastards.net/pilot_finish.php?name=$name&city=$city&country=$country&email=$email&invid=INV$pilot_Id">'; 





}
?>

And this is the page that recieves it and sends an email with the info and then is supposed to tell the user success and tell them their id....

<?php

$to = "[e-mail], [e-mail]";
$subject = "New Account";
$message = "Name: $name, City: $city, Country: $country, Email: $email, InvictaJet ID: 

$invid";

mail($to, $subject, $message);



//confirm 
   print "Congratulations, you are now a InvictaJet pilot! Your pilot id is $invid"; 


?>

The second php code picks up the things in the url, for example $invid it will send me INV$pilot_Id instead of the actual thing, and for all the other fields too it will just say $city for example and not what the other page had....
How can I fix it so that the page does send the info?
Thanks

You need to use the $GET array. So $city, becomes $GET['city'] and so on...

Okay, I tried that but now it gives me an error, here is my new php script...

<?php

$to = "[e-mail]; [e-mail]";
$subject = "New Account";
$message = "Name: $_GET['name'], City: $_GET['city'], Country: $_GET['country'], Email: 

$_GET['email'], InvictaJet ID: $_GET['invid']";

mail($to, $subject, $message);



//confirm 
   print "Congratulations, you are now a InvictaJet pilot! Your pilot id is $_GET['invid']"; 


?>

It says

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/youbasta/public_html/pilot_finish.php on line 5

try putting { }'s around the $GET[] things so like $var="blah: {$GET['blah']}";

Okay, i fixed that error, now this is the script that i have and I still have problems...

<?php

$name = $_GET['name'];
$city = $_GET['city'];
$country = $_GET['country'];
$email = $_GET['email'];
$pilotId = $_GET['pilotId'];









$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "New Account";
$message = "Name: $name, City: $city, Country: $country, Email: $email, InvictaJet ID: INV$pilotId";

mail($to, $subject, $message);



//confirm 
   print "Congratulations, you are now a InvictaJet pilot! Your pilot id is INV$pilotId"; 


?>

When it prints the congratulations it still does not print the pilotId and my email still shows like $name instead of the actual name...

OHH OKAY! I found out that the problem lies somewhere in the first php that sends the url, because in the url it says http://www.you-bastards.net/pilot_finish.php?name=$name&city=$city&country=$country&email=$email&pilot_Id=$pilot_Id, not the actual variables.... So the screw up is somewhere in the first php i posted, I just dont know where....
Thanks

put { }'s or ' 's around the variable names....
