The form itsself is at http://www.habbophunk.com/request.html. When I full it in it gives me some complicated message that I don't get

I've posted the code below. Wold you mind looking through and checking what the mistake is?

Thanks.

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'GET'){
$mess = $_POST['habbo']; 
$mess = $_POST['type']; 
$mess = $_POST['dj']; 
$mess = $_POST['message'];


$messig = " 

Habbo Name: $mess 
\n 
Message Type: $mess 
\n 
Current DJ: $mess 
\n
Message: $mess 

"; 

$subject = $habbo;

mail($mailto, $subject, $messig); 
 

$tool = $_POST['dj']; // now its a varible 

//next we do the if stament 
if($dj == "DJ Frobberwob"){$mailto = "andygreen1000********.com" ;} 
elseif($dj == "DJ Acid"){$mailto = "Ziffachan********.com" ;} 
else {die("Error, no one to send email to"); } 

Header("Location: requestconfirm.php"); 

} 
else 
{ 
echo 'ERROR';

you seem to have amade a few mistakes in how php works by assigning many differnt things the same varible for exsmple.
i was planing to ad full code exsamples but they stupuidly disabled the edit function "/

anyway

try this

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'GET'){

$mess1 = $_POST['habbo'];
$mess2 = $_POST['type'];
$mess3 = $_POST['dj'];
$mess4 = $_POST['message'];


$messig = "

Habbo Name: $mess1
\n
Message Type: $mess2
\n
Current DJ: $mess3
\n
Message: $mess4

";

$subject = $mess1;




$tool = $_POST['dj']; // now its a varible

//next we do the if stament
if($mess3 == "DJ Frobberwob"){$mailto = "andygreen1000********.com" ;}
elseif($mess3 == "DJ Acid"){$mailto = "Ziffachan********.com" ;}
else {die("Error, no one to send email to"); }

mail($mailto, $subject, $messig);

Header("Location: requestconfirm.php");

}
else
{
echo 'ERROR';
}


?>

All avibles have the own unice varible to store to, plus the mail to varible in your own was after the mail function wich sends the email itself wich is most likly what was throwing up all the errors, hope that helps

I need something that will count how many letters are being typed in a letter box and when it reachs 144 it wont let you type any more, anyone know how to build one?

ok im still not a 100 what u mean.

u can limit amount of letters able to enter with the max lengh attribute

maxlength="144"

Or do u want javascript to activty type whats being entered.

Heres a quick code, im not great a javascript and this is off the top of my head so may not work

<script>
function CheckLength() {
	MessageLength  = document.FORMNAME.BITNAME.value.length;
	
Out = MessageLength - 144 ;
		
alert(Out + " charciters remaining");

}
</script>

Exsmaple of use

<script>
function CheckLength() {
	MessageLength  = document.FORMNAME.BITNAME.value.length;
	
Out = MessageLength - 144 ;
		
alert(Out + " charciters remaining");

}
</script>



<br>
<script>
CheckLength();
</script>
<form name="FORMNAME" method="post" action="">
  <input type="text" name="BITNAME">
</form><br>

<a href='javascript:CheckLength()'>Check Post Length</a>
