PHP errors

Fidel_Castro

Hello to all.

I'm facing some problems with PHP scripting and I found this site very useful so I hope you will solve my problems too..

First of all, I'm working on my own webpage for a while and I'm just a beginner on all this HTML coding and PHP scripting.

I've been using this tutorial posted on Youtube by Joseph Montanez [in 2 parts]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbHsEafkyjM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUgul1RgSGk

You don't have to watch the whole tutorial, thing thing is that there are 3 files.

The first one is for the contact form look and it's a HTML document.

<html>

<head>
<title>
Danieloncarevic fotografije - KONTAKT
</title>
</head>

<body>
<form action="step2.php" method="post">
Ime i Prezime<br/><input type="text" name="username" /><br/>
E-mail adresa<br/><input type="text" name="email" /><br/>
Vasa poruka<br><textarea row="7" cols="70" name="inquiry"></textarea><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Posalji poruku"/>
</form>
</body>

</html>

The second one is the action to send the message to my e-mail address and to redirect to the third file. This one is a PHP file.

<?php

$name = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$text = $_POST['inquiry'];

//To, Subject, Message, Header
mail('example@example.com', 'Poruka sa neta', $text, 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>');

header('Location: step3.html');

?>

The third and the last one is the message that the message has been sent successfully and it's a HTML document.

<html>

<head>
<title>Danieloncarevic fotografije - KONTAKT</title>
</head>

<body>
Hvala, Vasa poruka je uspjesno poslata.
</body>

</html>

As you can see, I did the same thing, just changing the thing that I should change for my website but after doing all that I got this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/fellipe56/public_html/st ep2.php:1) in /home/fellipe56/public_html/step2.php on&#65279; line 10

I spent a lot of time finding something to solve my problem and after a while I found some post that maybe I should add something to my PHP file. Something like this:

if (!headers_sent()) {
    header('Location: step3.html');
} else {
    echo '<script type="text/javascropt">
                document.location.href ='step3.html';
            </script>';
}

So.. now my second file should you something like this:

<?php

$name = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$text = $_POST['inquiry'];

//To, Subject, Message, Header
mail('example@example.com', 'Poruka sa neta', $text, 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>');

header('Location: step3.html');

if (!headers_sent()) {
    header('Location: step3.html');
} else {
    echo '<script type="text/javascropt">
                document.location.href ='step3.html';
            </script>';
}
?>

With this modification I got some other error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/fellipe56/public_html/step2.php on line 16

I really need to fix this as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help,

Fidel

try adding ob_start(); at the top of the page.

<?php ob_start(); ?>

<?php

$name = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$text = $_POST['inquiry'];

//To, Subject, Message, Header
mail('example@example.com', 'Poruka sa neta', $text, 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>');

header('Location: step3.html');

?>

With that modification I'm getting the same error from the beginning.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/danielu0/public_html/step2.php:1) in /home/danielu0/public_html/step2.php on line 12

On a different row number but on the same row content..

header('Location: step3.html');

:queasy:

Ok, try this, make a new file put this in it, run it in a browser and see if you get the same errors, make sure there is NO WHITESPACE, no blank lines between <?php tags


<?php ob_start(); ?>
<form action="" method="post">
Ime i Prezime<br/><input type="text" name="username" /><br/>
E-mail adresa<br/><input type="text" name="email" /><br/>
Vasa poruka<br><textarea row="7" cols="70" name="inquiry"></textarea><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Posalji poruku"/>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$name = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$text = $_POST['inquiry'];

//To, Subject, Message, Header
mail('example@example.com', 'Poruka sa neta', $text, 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>');

header('Location: step3.html');
}
?>

I tried that but i got the same error again... :queasy:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/danielu0/public_html/test.php:1) in /home/danielu0/public_html/test.php on line 17

Thanks for your help and time tho.

Seco, thanks a lot for your time and effort but a friend of mine just sent me another script that I like much more and it works perfectly.

Now I only want to edit a verification check adding a more complicated CAPTCHA.

You can find that thread HERE.

Mods can lock this topic, thanks again.
