I'm just about ready to beat my kids.....

if I cant figure this out.

I'm trying to set up a php formmail which, to all intents and purposes, is working ok.

My issue is that it only returns one field "Event" in the body of the email.

The From, to, subject fields all work dandy and appear correctly in the message header as you'd expect but I'd like to capture all of the information which the user submits and have it presented in a logical fashion in the body of the email which is sent to me once the script runs.

If anyone can help with this I'd very much appreciate it.

The script is as follows:

	  <?php

$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Event Registration";
$name = $REQUEST['Name'] ;
$event = $REQUEST['Event'] ;
$email = $REQUEST['Email'] ;
$telephone = $REQUEST['Telephone'] ;
$occupation = $REQUEST['Occupation'] ;
$employer = $REQUEST['Employer'] ;
$comments = $_REQUEST['Comments'] ;
$header = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $event, $header) ;
if($sent)
{print "Your reservation has been sent. Thank you"; }
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }
?>

As ever, many thanks in advance of any assistance / advice offered.

The first pint is on me!

$sent = mail($to, $subject, $event, $header) ;

Um, $event is the only thing you're putting into the body of the email. No surprise that it's the only thing that appears.

This is the bit you haven't done yet: putting all the submitted pieces of information together into a single chunk of text that will be used for the body.

Weedpacket,

Sorry, I appreciate that I should have been more descriptive.

I have already attempted to pull in the other fields but get a warning: "Warning: mail() expects at most 5 parameters, 7 given"

What I would like to know - without offending the sensibilities of any perceived forum etiquette - is how do I get around that limitation of 5 and ensure that the output is presented in a readable layout in the received email?

Once again, thanks for any advice / assistance offered.

OK, I'm making some headway!!

Using the following I get all of the users input in the body of the email I receive:

$embody = "$event $name $email $occupation $employer $telephone $comments ";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $embody, $header) ;

My next issue is how do I get this to present itself in an orderly fashion?

eg:

Name: ** *

Email: ***********

Occupation: **********

etc, etc, etc.

Many thanks.

Basically: Say so 🙂

$embody = "$event
Name: $name
Email: $email
....
$comments";

Cheers! Sorted.
