Php Mailer Problem

m@ · September 27, 2003

alright, my problem is simple, i have this code:

<?php

ini_set("display_errors", 1);

$firstname=$_POST['First Name'];

$lastname=$_POST['Last Name'];

$address=$_POST['Address'];

$city=$_POST['city'];

$state=$_POST['state'];

$zipcode=$_POST['zipcode'];

$phonepart1=$_POST['Phone Area Code'];

$phonepart2=$_POST['Phone Number Part 2'];

$phonepart3=$_POST['Phone Number Part 3'];

$email=$_POST['email'];

$creditcardnumber=$_POST['Credit Card Number'];

$month=$_POST['month'];

$day=$_POST['Day'];

$year=$_POST['Expiration Year'];

mail("mjw136@hotmail.com", "You have recieved an order!!", "First Name: $firstname\n Last Name: $lastname\n Address: $address\n City: $city\n State: $state\n ZipCode: $zipcode\n Phone: $phonepart1 - $phonepart2 - $phonepart3\n E-mail: $email\n Credit Card Number: $creditcardnumber\n Expiration Date: $month - $day - $year");

?>

and its not working, i think it might be the server

Try assembling the headers and body before you stick them into your mail() function, then tell us what happened.

$day=$_POST['Day'];

$year=$_POST['Expiration Year'];

mail("mjw136@hotmail.com", "You have recieved an order!!", "First Name: $firstname\n Last Name: $lastname\n

Address: $address\n City: $city\n State: $state\n ZipCode: $zipcode\n Phone: $phonepart1 - $phonepart2 -

$phonepart3\n E-mail: $email\n Credit Card Number: $creditcardnumber\n Expiration Date: $month - $day - $year");

?>

</body>

</html>

Is that what you meant? im not sure, please edit if you need

Do it like this:

$subject = "You have recieved an order";

$from_email = $_POST['from_email'];

$to_email = "mjw136@hotmail.com";

$message = // put together your body text here rather than in the mail() function itself

$headers = (string) "From:" . $from_email . "\r\n";


mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers);

I curse you all to hell for knowing programming

m@ · September 28, 2003

heheheh dudde

ok so i am assuming im not to include (string)

m@ · September 28, 2003

i also cant remember if u have to put <?php and ?> in.

Sayonara · September 28, 2003

The (string) is optional. Your PHP server should be able to work out that variable is a string just by what's in it.

If you don't surround your PHP code with correct opening and closing tags, obviously it won't be processed by the server.

Did that lot work?
