PhP Code problem

[DaveyBoy]

First let me say that I did not write this php code. I'm real new at trying to write and implement a php file and a "Join our mailing list" form. I can not see what's wrong so I am asking for some help. When I click the submit button on the web page I get nothing. No mail sent, just a blank page. Can someone look at the code(s) for me and maybe correct ?

 

Here is the php code:

 

<?PHP 

if($_POST['submit']) 

{ 

$recipient="me@mywebsite.com"; 

$subject="My Web Site"; 

$body=" 

$name 

$email 



"; 

$headers='From: '.$email."\r\n".'Reply-to: '.$email."\r\n"; 

mail($recipient, $subject, $body, $headers); 

echo " 

"; 

} 

else 

{ 

echo " 

"; 

} 

?> 

 

And the form code:

 

>Untitled Document





</pre>
<table width="63%" border="2" cellpadding="4">Join Our Mailing List  NameEmailComments




   
</table>
<br

 

 

Thanks for looking!

$body= $_POST['comments'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email']; 

 

Try that.

I'd need to play with the code... if you are getting a blank page, sounds like you have got an error. As I glanced over it, it looks like you're not setting the $name or $email vars anywhere -- that's the first thing I would change. You'll need to set their value using $_POST to grab the form data.

You need to fill the $email and $name variables with the contents of the form:

 

<?PHP 

if($_POST['submit']) 

{ 
$email = $_POST['email'];
$name = $_POST['name'];

$recipient="me@mywebsite.com"; 

$subject="My Web Site"; 
...

 

Also, your form has "Submit" while the PHP has "submit" with lower case "s", so change your form to read:

jlhaslip and tpattison-

 

I changed as instructed and I still get a blank page (mywebpage.com/sendmail2.php) when I submit... and no mail.

Thanks

Thanks folks! I have"repaired" the code and now it works fine. I want to thank all that replyed and also Stefan Mischook for his tutorials on PHP. After viewing the tutorials I was able to see the error(s) and understand more about PHP code. Thanks again!

 

Oh...Here is the repaired code.

 

<?PHP

if($_POST['submit'])

{

$recipient="me@mysite.com";

$subject="Contact from my Web Site";

$body="

$name

$email

$comments

";

$headers='From: '.$email."\r\n".'Reply-to: '.$email."\r\n";

mail($recipient, $subject, $body, $headers);

echo "

";

}

else

{

echo "

";

}

?>
