<?
$email = $_GET['email'] ;
$subject = $_GET['subject'] ;
$message = $_GET['message'] ;
mail( "[email protected]", "Email Subject", $subject, $message, "From: $email" );
print "Congratulations your email has been sent";
?>


layer it out in the email like:

Name
Subject

[Jamesy]

<?
$name = $_GET['name'] ;
$email = $_GET['email'] ;
$subject = $_GET['subject'] ;
$message = "Name: \r\n" . $name. "\r\n Subject:\r\n" . $subject . "\r\n Email: \r\n" . $email . "\r\n Message: \r\n" . $_GET['message'];
mail( "[email protected]", "Email Subject", $subject, $message, "From: $email" );
print "Congratulations your email has been sent";
?>

[Huggies]

Mhmm, Cheers big ears.

Ill message if i need more help <3

[Jamesy]

no worries (H)

[Huggies]

Hey, im having problems, applications aren't comming to my email for some reason. Some help?

[Dentafrice]

The problem I see is that your form method is set to post (method="post") and you are using $_GET to get it... ($_GET["message"]).. this would be true if your form method was get...

Try changing it to $_POST["message"] and you should have it :)

[Huggies]

Thanks, but it still didn't work :o

Could anyone else help? :D

[Dentafrice]

My post was one of the reasons it would not work... the second reason is you're not actually submitting the forum. An href does not submit the form, links just take you places... not provide an action....

You need an <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> to actually process the form... you could add name="myform" to your form tag... and then do...



<a href="#" onclick="javascript:document.myform.Submit();" />Submit</a>


That would do it too I think? Been so long since I've coded might not work... but you get the jist.

[coolchris322]

change all the $_GET to $_POST['class'] where class is the name of the text area.

You've got your method set as POST yet you are using $_GET['message']; so try changing it to $_POST['message']; do the same for the email as well so give the bottom code a try:


<?
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
mail( "[email protected]", "Email Subject", $message, "From: $email" );
print "Congratulations your email has been sent";
?>

[Dentafrice]

You both just repeated exactly what I told him.. but he's still NOT submitting the form... a link doesn't submit it unless things have drastically changed
