flash & php form help please

[benjamin]

Hi

So heres the story I have no knowledge of php what so ever but I have been using flash now for a little while (still going through training also training for the CIW qualifications) and I thought I was ready to create a flash form and edit the php script that i had a friend make me, it's a really simple script.

Anyway I got the script to work with the starting 4 text boxes and a check box and i thought that I could simply copy the code and change the message a variables but i was obviously worng as it doesnt seem to work I always get the last 6 messages and nothing else.

Can someone with php knowledge correct this simple script so I can process my form

Kind regards Benjamin

<?php

$email_to = 'e-mail goes here';
$subject = 'subject goes here';

$result = array(
'did_mail_send' => 'yes',
'errormessage' => ''
);

if ( !empty($_POST['email']) ) {


$message = "First Name: " . $_POST['firstname']. "\n";
$message .= "Last Name: " . $_POST['lastname']. "\n";
$message = "Address: " . $_POST['address']. "\n";
$message .= "City/Town: " . $_POST['city'] . "\n";
$message = "County/state: " . $_POST['county'] . "\n";
$message .= "Post code: " . $_POST['post'] . "\n";
$message = "Phone: " . $_POST['phone'] . "\n";
$message .= "Extension: " . $_POST['extension'] . "\n";
$message .= "Email: " . $_POST['email'] . "\n\n";
$message .= "Special-requirements: \n\n" . $_POST['special'] . "\n\n";
$message .= "Urgent: \n\n" . $_POST['urgent'];
$message .= "Phone reply: \n\n" . $_POST['reply'];



$headers = "From: $from";

if ( !mail($email_to, $subject, $message, $headers) ) {


$result[ 'did_mail_send' ] = 'no';
$result[ 'errormessage' ] = 'For some reason mail did not send';
}
}

echo 'did_mail_send=' . urlencode( $result['did_mail_send'] ) . '&errormessage=' . urlencode( $result[ 'errormessage' ] );
?>

you are missing .= on the address, county and phone in your message string. What that is doing is resetting the $message variable starting at the phone. Everything above it will be ignored.

to explain further, .= means to append to the current variable.
