HTML/PHP Contact Form Sending Emails With No Details

AoifeB

Hey! I created a simple contact form for my site which is sending emails to my specified email address OK. The confirmation message to show that the persons message has been submitted also shows up OK. But when I receive the emails there is no sender email address, which is just blank. The actual details in the email are blank (i.e. it only shows "Name:" , "Email Address:" , "Phone Number:" and "Message:" but the actual details are not being picked up. :bemused:
I was wondering if you could have a skim through my code to see if I have made any mistakes? Thanks

HTML Code:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="contactformportfolio.php">
            <p align="left">
              <label for="name">*Name<br />
              </label>
              <input type="text" name="name" id="Name" />
            </p>
            <p align="left">
              <label for="email">*Email Address</label>
              <br />
              <input type="text" name="email" id="Email" />
            </p>
            <p align="left">
              <label for="phone_number">Phone Number<br />
              </label>
              <input type="text" name="phone_number" id="PhoneNumber" />
            </p>
            <p align="left">
              <label for="message">*Message<br />
              </label>
              <textarea name="message" id="Message" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>
            </p>
            <p align="left">
              <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" onclick="MM_validateForm('Name','','R','Email','','RisEmail','PhoneNumber','','NisNum','Message','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" value="Submit" />
              <input type="reset" name="clear_form" id="clear_form" value="Clear Form" />
            </p>
          </form>
          <p>&nbsp;</p>
          <p>&nbsp;</p>
      </div>

Welcome to PHPBuilder! When posting PHP or HTML code, please use the board's [noparse]

..

..

[/noparse] bbcode tags (respectively) as they make your code much easier to read and analyze.

As for your issues, if this is on a development server, you need to ensure that display_errors is set to On and error_reporting is set to E_ALL (or better). If it's a production server, swap out display_errors for log_errors.

Either way, your issue is with these variable assignments:

$name = $_POST['Name']; 
$Email = $_POST['Email']; 
$PhoneNumber = $_POST['PhoneNumber']; 
$Message = $_POST['Message'];

You never check to see if those external values are defined before you attempt to use them. In this case, they won't be, since you don't have any form elements with names of "Name", "Email", etc. However, note you do have ones with names like "name", "email", etc.

Thank you for your reply bradgrafelman! That was my very 1st post so thank you about the

/[code=php] and [code=html]

tags. I have tried changing the variables to things like "name", "email" etc instead of using a capital letter at the beginning of each word, just like the form elements, and it still does not work. Unfortunately now I am not getting any emails at all 🙁

Please post your code as it stands now after your modifications. We can only speculate at what's wrong without seeing what you changed. 🙂

Sorry lol! Here is my current code! (Hope the tags work this time)
