[RESOLVED] Variables not passing through

[Jon12345]

My thanks.php page has code that fails to email the variables. What have I done wrong?

<?php  

mail("[e-mail]","New Media Buys Enquiry","
Name: $name
Email: $email
Notes: $notes  

","From: $email");
 ?>

You are assuming register_globals is on.

Are you sure they have values?

Also, you'll need to use \n to get the line breaks in the email ... not just hit enter.

[Jon12345]

Is there something I can put in the header to snatch the variables that get passed from my form?

[Kudose]

Not in the headers, but before you generate them.

Use the $_GET super-global array to retrieve values from the URL before using them.

i.e.

$name = $_GET['name'];

That's what I was looking for! I just couldn't remember it. 😃

[Kudose]

Sweet.

If your problem is resolved, please mark this thread resolved.

I now have this code in the body tag area. Is it the correct implementation?

  [code=php]<?php

$name = $GET['name'];
$email = $GET['email'];
$notes = $_GET['notes'];

mail("[e-mail]","New Media Buys Enquiry","
Name: $name
Email: $email
Notes: $notes

","From: $email");

  ?>[/code]

Looks like it, does it work?

[Jon12345]

Nope. I have modified it to echo the values but nothing gets echoed.

	  <?php

$name = $_GET['name']; 
$email = $_GET['email']; 
$notes = $_GET['notes']; 

echo $email;
echo $name;

mail("[e-mail]","New Media Buys Enquiry","
Name: $name
Email: $email
Notes: $notes  

","From: $email");

  ?>

On the form I have this:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="submitted.php">

Is that correct? Any ideas?

[bpat1434]

You're using the wrong SuperGlobal array. when you POST a form, you need to use $POST.... when you send variables through the URL, you use $GET 😉 So change your $GET's to $POST

[Jon12345]

That worked. Thank you.
