m@ Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Try assembling the headers and body before you stick them into your mail() function, then tell us what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonara Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 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); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonara Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted 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?
