Form submits to email via php, but email is blank!!??

[DH1234]

Hello,

After finally getting my newly designed (in Dreamweaver) site up and running - I had problems with getting my Dreamweaver form to send - eventually I got php.mail piece of code to send the form to my personal hotmail address. However, the submitted form that reaches my email is blank?! Has anyone got any ideas?

My form code (done automatically in dreamweaver) is;

Code: Select all

<form action="mail.php" method="post" name="form1" id="form1">
         <p align="left"><u><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font color="#31DFDB"><strong>The Wedding List</strong></font></font></u></p>
         <p align="left"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><em><strong>1. Choose </strong></em></font><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><em><strong><br />
           </strong></em>(Place
           as many ticks as you like in the relevant boxes in the left-hand column
          <strong>AND</strong> insert your Total Spent in the area below the chart)</font></p>

Code: Select all

  
<?
$to = 'dont_cry_ears@hotmail.com';
$subject = 'weddinggift';
$message = 'From: ' . $_REQUEST['name'] . "\n\n" . $_REQUEST['data'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$headers = 'From: ' . $email . "\r\n" .
            'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n" .
          'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
 
mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header("Location: thanks.html");
?>

Please help?

The field names on your form need to match the field names used to make up your email content in the PHP script. So to send the data in the area that you have called textfield2 on your form, you need to call $_REQUEST[textfield2] (and all the othes) into $message.

I have written a simple tutorial on this subject at http://www.cwebltd.co.uk/2007/06/05/...tact-form.html.

It will give you the building block to do it your own way.
