visitors name not displayed in mail after filling in mail form

made on earth · #1 Nov 16th, 2005, 17:57

hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with my mail form. It works fine with a php script, but when I receive a mail of a visitor after filling in the mail form, I get from: anonymous @ hosting.name of server in the header of my mail. I would like to see the name and email displayed in the header but I can't figure out how.
my php-code looks like this:

PHP: Select all


<?php
 
$TextVariable = '&resultaat=';
$response = 'De data is verzonden.';
 
echo $TextVariable;
echo $response
 
$maat = $_post['smaat'];
$naam = $_post['snaam];
$adres = $_post['sadres'];
$telefoon = $_post['stelefoon'];
$email = $_post['semail'];
$opmerking = $_post['sopmerking];
 
mail (&quot;madeonearth@telenet.be&quot;, &quot;subject&quot;, &quot;
 
Maat: $maat
Naam: $naam
Adres: $adres
Telefoon: $telefoon
Email: $email
Opmerking: $opmerking
&quot[IMG]http://www.flashmove.com/board/images/smilies/wink.gif[/IMG];
?>

so I tried something else, this time with a header, the code go's like this:

PHP: Select all


<?php
$to = &quot;madeonearth@telenet.be&quot;;
$subject = &quot;the subject of the mail&quot;;
 
$message = $_POST['bericht'] ;
$header = &quot;From: &quot;. $_POST['naam'] . &quot;<&quot; . $_POST['emailadres'] . &quot;>n&quot;;
$header .= &quot;Reply-To: &quot; . $_POST['naam'] . &quot;<&quot; . $_POST['emailadres'] . &quot;>n&quot;;
$header .= &quot;X-Priority: 1&quot;;
mail ($to, $subject, $bericht, $header);
?>

This code workes fine and displayed the name and email in de From-header. However, I can't imply my var's of previous code (php-code 1, the one above), like adres and phone.
I've divined them as $adres = $_POST['sadres'];
$telefoon = $_POST['stelefoon']; and so on, and placed them in mail($to, $subject, $bericht, $adres, $telefoon, $header); but when I do that I get again anonymous @ hosting.my server. So why does he do it right if I only place mail ($to, $subject, $bericht, $header); and not when I put in $adres and $telefoon?

can someone help me out with this?
eternally grateful

I found it! Just had to put my var's in a $message
so the correct code go's like this

PHP: Select all


<?php

$TextVariable = '&resultaat=';
$response = 'De data is verzonden.';

echo $TextVariable;
echo $response;

$maat = $_POST['smaat'];
$naam = $_POST['snaam'];
$adres =$_POST['sadres'];
$postbus = $_POST['spostbus'];
$plaats = $_POST['splaats'];
$telefoon = $_POST['stelefoon'];
$email = $_POST['semail'];
$opmerking = $_POST['sopmerking'];
$to = "madeonearth@telenet.be";
$subject = "Results from online form";
$message = "Maat: ".$maat."\nNaam: ".$naam."\nAdres: ".$adres."\nPostbus: ".$postbus."\nPlaats:".$plaats."\nTelefoon: ".$telefoon."\nEmail: ".$email."\nOpmerking :".$opmerking."\n";
$header = "From: " . $_POST['snaam'] . " <" . $_POST['semail'] . ">\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST['snaam'] . " <" . $_POST['semail'] . ">\n";
$header .= "X-Priority: 1";
mail ($to, $subject, $message, $header);

?>

Glad you got it sorted!

sypher · #4 Nov 16th, 2005, 21:58

Well, I do have an other question, I would also like an auto reply attached to it. But I have no clue where to start...

sypher · #6 Nov 16th, 2005, 22:25

An auto reply to send back to the user?

If so then below the current form you need to make another mail fucntion this time switching the mail addresses with the message of thank you etc.

It would send the first mail then the second.

Found and tested this one, and it works! Just paste this behind the rest of your php-code

PHP: Select all


// Reply
// ---------------------------


$subject = "Bedankt voor uw bestelling.";


$headers = "From: MyName<madeonearth@telenet.be>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <madeonearth@telenet.be>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n"; // Urgent message!
$headers .= "Return-Path: MyName<madeonearth@telenet.be>\n";  // Return path for errors


$recipient = $email;


$message = "Thank you for contacting me. I have received your e-mail and will reply as soon as possible.";

mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

?>
