Problem with mail sender

dRyW

Hi Guys,

This is my text field and button form.

 <form method="post" action="mailcontadinobio.php">
                                  <p align="center">
                                    <input type="email" class="inputs" placeholder="esempio: mail@ilcontadinobio.it">    

                                       <table height="50" border="0">
                                        <tr>
                                         <td><div align="center">
                                          <button type="submit" class="button animated" id="subscribe_button"><p>&#10003;</p></button>
                                           </div>
                                         </td>
                                        </tr>
                                      </table>
                                    </form>

<?php
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail = "mail@ilcontadinobio.it";
$subject = "New e-mail address from ilcontadinobio.it";
$emailErr = "";

/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
    $emailErr = "Email is required";
  } else {
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    // check if e-mail address is well-formed
    if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
      $emailErr = "Invalid email format";
    }
  }
/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$message = "E-mail: $email";

/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($myemail, $subject, $message);

/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */
header('Location: azienda.html');
exit();

function show_error( $emailErr)
{
?>
<html>
<body>

<strong><?php echo $emailErr; ?></strong>
<p>Hit the back button and try again</p>

</body>
</html>
<?php
exit();
}
?>

The e-mail get sent over perfectly, but there is no trace of what is submitted in the text field.

I have no clue what is missing in the code.

Can you help me?

First, +over 9000 for using filter_var() for validating your emails instead of some complicated regular expression.

Second, your problem is occurring because you have no "name" attribute on your text field. PHP uses that to reference your form elements.

I thought too it was something outside the code...and it work!! Can't believe it. Thank you 🙂
