Taking info from a Form.html, putting it into a e-mail...

Taking info from a Form.html, putting it into a e-mail on processed.php.
which once sent, will attach the variable input from Form.html.
And either create output as a text file and send as an attachment.
Or just attach them direct from the Form.html and send it...

The problem I was having is I was trying to put the variables into a E-mail message body form... which didn't work.. it just spit the code out as typed...

So now I am trying to send it as an attachment.
(took me a few mins to figure out how to attach...)(serves me right for not reading ALL the forum stickies...)

This also happens to be the order that they are filled out in also..
so if there are any problems please let me know.

you dont send anything in your processed form all you do is display the content that was submitted, once you click submit again it is my belief that this data is lost unless the input varaibles are defined again (posibly using hidden inputs)

I kinda grasped what you said, but I dont know what you mean when you say, their lost? I am not trying to sound smug or anything, but if I remove the E-mail part of Processed, they display very pretty like...

When I try to add them to a e-mail ... (As is) then they dont display?

Hope this helps as I am a little lost...

Since this problem is not being looked at to solve, and no one can tell me what I need, feel free to delete this topic. Thanks.

on your script, when you press 'submit' again after verifying the information, you are not passing the variables on to apmhix_whateva.php..

in 'processed.php' you need some hidden input fields like mentioned above..

like..

<input type="hidden" name="name" value="$_POST[name]">
ect.. for ALL your variables..

now the variables are being passed to the next script for email submission. Dont forget to add

$name = $_POST[name];
ect....

and validating your user submitted info isn't a bad idea either.. I've found a few good free php validating classes over on phpclasses.org
