catfish Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I have my database set up for registrations which is working just fine, now I am working on having at the same time sending the results of the form fields sent by email which is also working but minimally. I have posted my code bit below but need to add more details to it. The email arrives From nobody@..... subject is fine and then I can't get all of the other fields to show and the autoresponder doesn't work at all. //Check whether the query was successful or not if($result) { mail($myemail, $subject, $fname, $lname, $email, $login); header("location: register-success.php"); exit(); }else { die("Query failed"); } /* Prepare autoresponder subject */ $respond_subject = "Thank you for contacting us!"; /* Prepare autoresponder message */ $respond_message = "Hello! Thank you for contacting us! We will get back to you as soon as possible! Yours sincerely, Your name www.yourwebsite.com "; /* Send the message using mail() function */ mail($email, $respond_subject, $respond_message); In other forms I am using I have a bit of code that lays out the email message very nicely but I get an error 500 whenever I try to add it. Below is a bit of the code so you know what I am talking about. My php is very limited but manage some things trial and error mostly. $message="$name just filled in your comments form.\n\nTheir phone number is:\n$phone\n\nThey live in:\n$city\n\nThey said:\n$comments\n\nTheir e-mail address is: $email"; if(mail($to,"Message From MC-HRSolutions.com",$message,"From: $email\n")) { echo "Thank you for your enquiry."; } else { echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly."; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hi, If you want to add in a From: header, you can do this: /* Prepare autoresponder subject */ $respond_subject = "Thank you for contacting us!"; /* Prepare autoresponder message */ $respond_message = "Hello! Thank you for contacting us! We will get back to you as soon as possible! Yours sincerely, Your name www.yourwebsite.com "; /* Headers */ $headers = "From: MyName <myAccount@myDomain.com>\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: anotherAccount@myDomain.com\r\n"; // Etc... /* Send the message using mail() function */ mail($email, $respond_subject, $respond_message, $headers); Looking at this line in your code: mail($myemail, $subject, $fname, $lname, $email, $login); I can't imagine that works does it? You seem to be passing the variables gained from your html form in the mail() function, when what you should be passing is: mail(to, subject, message, headers, extraparameters) What you'll want to do if you're trying to send an email with those variables displayed in it, is just put them in the message body somewhere, eg: /* Example Since I DOn't Know What You're Setting The Variables To */ $myEmail = $_POST['email']; $subject = 'My Subject'; $message = "Hello, Here are the details you entered: First Name: {$fname} Last Name: {$lname} Email: {$email} Login: {$login}"; $headers = "From: MyName <myAccount@myDomain.com>\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: anotherAccount@myDomain.com\r\n" if($result) { mail($myemail, $subject, $message, $headers); header("location: register-success.php"); exit(); }else { die("Query failed"); } Regarding this bit: $message="$name just filled in your comments form.\n\nTheir phone number is:\n$phone\n\nThey live in:\n$city\n\nThey said:\n$comments\n\nTheir e-mail address is: $email"; if(mail($to,"Message From MC-HRSolutions.com",$message,"From: $email\n")) { echo "Thank you for your enquiry."; } else { echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly."; I tried it on my server and I didn't get any errors, so the error must be in a different section of the code. If you post the whole page of code, I'll see if I can see it. Also, you'll probably want to use the $headers as I outlined above for that section of code.
