Help with form handler

pantteri

This is my current form handler but I would like to change it so that the data a visitor enters to the "first name" field on the form becomes the subject of the email.

(<input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" />)

<?php
$message = '';
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
$message .= "
" . $key .": " . $value;
}

$SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];

if (mail("...@....com", "Form from website", $message)) {
header("Location: http://...");
} else {
header("Location: http://...");
}
?>

I also wonder what´s wrong with the $_SERVER variables because I don´t get any information through them?

mail('example@example.com', $_POST['firstname'], $message);

but in the code you forgot to link into the string...

$message .= "
" . $key .": " . $value;
}

$message .=" ".$SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']." ";
$message .=" ".$SERVER['HTTP_HOST']." ";
$message .=" ".$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']." ";

Thanks for the replies! Oh, the solutions were simpler than I thought. I´m a newbie...

So I figured that $POST['firstname'] . $POST['lastname'] will give me the whole name. But how do I get a space between the first and the last names?

Hello,

php.net manual is a good reading about it,

$new_string= $POST['firstname'] ." ". $POST['lastname'] ;

use the . to link the two array and the space...

To cut the writing before use the $_POST, you could short them.

$fn=$POST['firstname'];
$ln= $POST['lastname'];
$new_string="$fn $ln";
as you can see, simple fill them as a string.

if i'm not mistaken, u could use it like this:

$string="the firstname is{$POST['firstname']} and {$POST['lastname']} is lastname";

test them before use 🙂
