i am new this and this is my first php script. I plut to together the simple script that i wast to send the form information to my email address. all as i can seem toget when submit is clicked is the error message i implememnted below.

[php]

<?php if ($_POST && !$mailSent) { ?>

Sorry something went wrong when sending your message. Please try again. If your problem persists please contact your system admin or try again later.

[/php]

i am sure that this is something very simple but im very new to this and cant see it. Any light shed on this would greatly be appreciated.

regards,

karl

hello karlc87, your code looking fine but i think below modification may be helpful for you. replace below code if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) { with below code if ($REQUEST_METHOD == 'POST') {

i this will help you and point in right direction

I am not sure on your testing for mail sending!
First, sending the mail does NOT post the page. So the line:
if ($_POST && !$mailSent) {
Does nothing as sending the mail does not post.

Just use if (!$mailSent) {

The value returned using the mail function ( mailsent=mail() ) is ‘true’ if the mail was sent, ‘false’ if it fails to send. So, using just if(mailSent) is all you need. It is not a posted variable. Hope that helps…

thanks for the replies, i’ve actually just found the problem

i had put

<input type="submit" name="Send" id="Send Message" value="Send message" />

when it should have been

[code][code]

send was capitilized, when it shouldn’t have been. As quick as i solve one problem i encounter another. I can now send the form but in the email account i recieve 2 of every bit of data (name, email, tel) but dont recieve the the message.

maybe i was a little hasty sending the second fault. Again i sorted the problem. I apologise for the repeat post couldnt find where to edit the last message. It wasn’t sending the correct information because i had doubled up the $message so i was confusing it, or me to be more precise.

[php]

<?php if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) { $to = '[email protected]'; $subject = 'contact form super saver'; $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $Tel = $_POST['Tel']; $message = $_POST['message']; $message = "Name: $name\n\n"; $message .= "email: $email\n\n"; $message .= "Tel: $Tel\n\n"; $message .= "message: $message"; $message = wordwrap($message, 70); $mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message); } ?>

[/php]

i changed it to

[php]

<?php if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) { $to = '[email protected]'; $subject = 'contact form super saver'; $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $Tel = $_POST['Tel']; $comments = $_POST['comments']; $message = "Name: $name\n\n"; $message .= "email: $email\n\n"; $message .= "Tel: $Tel\n\n"; $message .= "Message: $comments"; $message = wordwrap($message, 70); $mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message); } ?>

[/php]

i changed the form label too comments aswell as edit the php code were needed.

just thought i would post what i found might be useful to somebody if they encounter the same problem, possibly someone out there as stupid as me.

im going to attempt to add some more arrays in for security, cant see that going wel first time so im sure i willl be back shortly. Thanks for the help.

regards

karl
