saunders1989

what im trying to do is when a comment is written on an image, the link to that page is written in an email and what was typed into the comments box. the only problem is i tried doing a simple test with a simple email script from what i think was tizag but as im using a server i dont know what else i would need to put into an email script to make it work. i also have no idea how to grab the link from the page your on and write that.

could someone please help

thanks for reading

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will contain the page url, just add that in to the email body.

without seeing what you have currently its not possible to say.

this is what i have so far:

$to      = 'example@example.com';
$subject = 'Image Comment';
$message = 'i cant work out the code for the comment from textboox' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

mail($to, $subject, $message);

}

i dont know how i would grab the text that is in the text box:

<form method="post" action="">
<textarea name="comment" rows="6" cols="40"></textarea>
<br />
<br />
<div id="comment_btn">
<input type="submit" name="Comment" value="Comment"/>  

</div>
</form>

It will be in the $_POST array, come on after 44 posts ,you should be able to work this out, or at least goggle it for your self.

sorry my mind went blank. ive now got it all working. i am just now playing around with how it will get displayed. thanks for the info on how to retreive the url.

saunders1989

why is it when i try and get a break into the message. so the url is 2 lines below the comment. ive tried /n and <br/> and i cant work it out. im guessing im mising someting really simple. the only thing i can think of is that php is messing up when i write a "/"

EDIT:

i put the backslash on the /n the wrong way round i thought it was something simple i was missing.
