Need help debugging a Form script.

General PHP Help
#1

I have been racking my brain for three weeks now, trying to figure out why this script is not working. Take a look, I will be sure to make a donation if we get this one: Thank you in advance for any insight you may have.

[php]

<?php include "info.php"; $redirect = "http://www.nutritionalcourses.com/thankyou3.htm"; // send thankyou email to user $mailto = $contact['email']; $subject = "Thank you from The Nutritional Seminars"; $mailfrom = $rep_emails[$contact['state_rep']]; include 'emailbody3.php'; $body = "Dear ".$contact['name'].",nn".$emailbody3; $mail1sent = mail($mailto, $subject, $body, "From: $mailfrom"); // send a summary email to sales reps address $mailto = $rep_emails[$contact['state_rep']]; $subject = "Standard Process Seminar Signup"; $mailfrom = $contact['email']; // prepare email body text $body = "Practice Name: ".$contact['practice_name']."n"; $body = "Name: ".$contact['name']."n"; $body .= "Address: n".$contact['address']."n"; if($contact['address2'] != "") $body .= $contact['address2']."n"; $body .= $contact['city']." ".$contact['state']." ".$contact['zip']."nn"; $body .= "Email: ".$contact['email']."nn"; $body .= "Phone Number: ".$contact['phone_number']."nn"; $body .= "Fax: ".$contact['fax']."nn"; $body .= "What Seminar Are You Intrested In: ".$contact['seminar']."nn"; $body .= "What State is this Seminar in: ".$contact['state_rep']."nn"; $body .= "What is the Month of the Seminar: ".$contact['seminar_month']."nn"; $body .= "How would you like to pay: ".$contact['pay_method']."nn"; $body .= "How Did You Hear About Us: ".$contact['how_did_you_hear_about_us']."nn"; $body .= "comment: ".$contact['comment']."nn"; $body .= "Time Received: ".date("F j, Y, g:i a", time())."nnn"; $mail2sent = mail($mailto, $subject, $body, "From: $mailfrom"); // make sure the email was sent if ($mail1sent && $mail2sent) { header("Location: $redirect"); } else { // This echo's the error message if the email did not send. // You could change the text in between the

tags. echo('

Mail was not sent please fill out the proper email address and click on one of our packages to send correctly. Please Print and fax form to correct sales representative if more problems occur. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

'); } ?>

[/php]
**MOD EDIT - Added PHP BBCode for better readability.

Try changing

include 'emailbody3.php';

$body = “Dear “.$contact[‘name’].”,nn”.$emailbody3;

to

[php]
$emailbody = include(“http://www.yourdomain.com/emailbody3.php”);
$body = “”$emailbody"n";[/php]

#3

what is not working?
any errors?

#4

As Q1712 said: What is or isn’t working? What Errors are you getting?

If you are getting a blank page when this script is ran you should try turning on errors. To do this you simply need to place the following at the top of your page.

error_reporting(E_ALL);

This will force the parser to display any and all errors. Sometimes these are turned off for security reasons by the server administrator in the php.ini file.

Hope this helps.

#5

First of all,

I appreciate everyone’s help. Here is the error after I switched line 15 and 16.

Warning: main(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/w/i/z/wizzy5/html/formmail3.php on line 15

I switched line 15 to:

$emailbody = include “emailbody3.php”;

$body = “”$emailbody"n";

and got the same error I received earlier:

Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

After I added the error_reporting(E_ALL); I recieved the following error:

[/php]

on a positive note, I have recieved a feedback thankyou note.

It says,

Subject: Thanks you from The Nutritional Seminars

Body: Dear Peter Wisniewski,

#13

this shows u the exact line numbers whereu have forgoten to replace it.

take a look at the file emailbody3.php.

#14

Here’s the problem:
You’re using the following format for your form element names:

contact['email']

Now you try to retrieve its value in PHP like so:

[php]
$contact[‘email’]
[/php]

This would have worked should register_globals be enabled. There’s a GOOD reason however that this is disabled. Read up on PHP security to learn why.

The examples given show the retrieving of this value like so:

[php]
$_POST[‘contact’][‘email’]
[/php]

Which is, as far as I know, not correct syntax to retrieve the value.
I’d suggest you try to retrieve the array first, and then try to discern its values:

[php]
$contact = $_POST[‘contact’];
$contactEmail = $contact[‘email’];
[/php]

This may not work as I’ve never worked with arrays as form element names, but it should.

On a sidenote: never trust user input. Always check the submitted values to see if there’s anything in there that might break your code or have otherwise unpleasant (side-)effects.

#15

Form is fixed!!!

I want to thank everyone who helped me solve this difficult problem.

The globals where turned off, so I used:

$_post[‘email’]

I also took the contacts and the brackets off the names in contactus.html

It also liked the $mime_Boundary stuff

I also read a bit on globals and security which helped explain other problems I have been having.

I will donate, it is nice to know that people in the php world are genuinely nice and willing to help beginners.

Have a great weekend!

-pete

#16

there realy is: a lot of people (includin myselfe) don’t care about defining variables in php, and if u have a variable $loggedin that has never been defined anyone could call ur script like urscript.php?loggedin=1, and tey are logged in without providing the password. big securety risk.

u still don’t trust me?
it is correct syntax. or what syntax u would use to acces a key of the posted array ‘contact’ ?

this work. don’t put ur light under a stool.

the best thing that ever been said in this forum: the user is ur enemy. 99,99% are not but if u realy get contact to one of this 0,01% (every 10.000ndth person) u’ll get into big trouble. so hope for the best, but expect the worth.

#17

Like I said, I never use arrays as form element names, so I’ve never run into the problem. Using $var[index1][index2] implies a multidimensional array. Is POST data to be considered as such? It may or may not work, but in case of doubt, work around it.

#18

Yes, i’ll take a look at the file emailbody3.php.
