enter and variables

derksj

I have this form with an textarea

<tr>
      <td>contactpersons</td>
      <td><textarea name="contactpersons"></textarea></td>
</tr>

i parse it to a email.php

<?php
@extract($_POST);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$subject = "Intake formulier $naam_applicatie $versie";
$headers .= "From: $emailinvuller \n";  

$headers .= "Cc: $emailinvuller \n";  

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";  

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html";  

$message = stripslashes
("
<center><table border=\"0\" width=\"23%\">
  <tr>
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\">contactpersons</td>
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap>$contactpersons</td>
  </tr>
 <tr>
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\">variable1</td>
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap>$variable1</td>
  </tr>
 <tr>
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\">variable2</td>
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap>variable2</td>
  </tr>
</table></center>
");
mail($email,$subject,$message,"$headers");
?>

When someone gives enters for each contactperson in the textarea field, the form does not send me the output from the variables anymore

what am i doing wrong?

bogu

Echo your message and look how it looks like ...

derksj

An echo shows the first "contact person" but the "contact persons" after the enter are not shown anymore

the variables that follow are also not shown anymore

Loose the stripslashes function and make variable2 as a variable $variable2 ...
Check POST array to see if contactpersons, variable1 ... is there ...

print_r($_POST);

derksj

I Lost the stripslashes but the problem still occurs

leatherback

did you test the POST array as suggested:
print_r($_POST);

derksj

this is my code but its not working

i made 3 enters but my output is

Array ( ) test1

print_r($_POST); 
$name = stripslashes($name);
$subject = "Intake formulier $naam_applicatie $versie";
$headers .= "From: $emailinvuller \n";  

$headers .= "Cc: $emailinvuller \n";  

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";  

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html";  

echo "$contactpersons";

$message = ("
(" 
<center><table border=\"0\" width=\"23%\"> 
  <tr> 
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\">contactpersons</td> 
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap>$contactpersons</td> 
  </tr> 
<tr> 
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\">variable1</td> 
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap>$variable1</td> 
  </tr> 
<tr> 
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\">variable2</td> 
    <td width=\"50%\" nowrap>$variable2</td> 
  </tr> 
</table></center> 
"); 
mail($email,$subject,$message,"$headers"); 
?>

... I might be confused but.. You are not ONLY giving three enters?

Also.. you should check the source of the produced HTML: An enter will not show in HTML, as HTML does not show linebreaks, unless you define them.

derksj

let me show you the complete code

the form stop sending variables when i use carriage returns in my textarea fields

scrupul0us

$headers .= "From: $emailinvuller \n";

should be

$headers = "From: $emailinvuller \n";

mail($email,$subject,$message,"$headers");

should be

mail($email,$subject,$message,$headers);

so far thats what ive deciphered... this is some wildly put together code

even more so, idk why u are using extract ($_POST) and trusting all the other input...

Do not use extract() on untrusted data, like user-input ($GET, ...).

you should step through each variable with a foreach, apply strip slashes and assign a variable (or at the very least re-build the $POST array with checked values) and then put them in the output "form"

no offense to you but the way you are building your output is a little rough around the edges
