PHP Form-to-Email won't post input into email

[rsrwebs]

Hi,

I am working on a page where you fill out a form to sign up for an email newsletter. Sending an email alone is no problem, but the text entered into the form does not show up when I run a test.
I know it probably has to do with how the info is being posted, but I haven't the slightest clue what code is missing/incorrect.
All I'm trying to do is have the information entered into the form be in the body of the email the PHP sends out.

Here's the form page: http://www.laurendragon.com/mailinglistform.php
The code I'm using:

<?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");

?>

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
<form method="POST" action="sendemail.PHP" name="mailinglist" id="mailinglist">
<div align="left">
<p align="center"><br>
Name (First & Last):<br>
<input type="text" name="Name"/>
<br>
<br>
City:<br>
<input type="text" name="City" />
<br>
<br>
State:<br>
<input type="text" name="State"/>
<br>
<br>
Email:<br>
<input type="text" name="Email"/>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" VALUE="Sign Me Up" onClick="alert('Thank you! Your form has been sent.')" />
<br>
</p>
</div>
</form>
</form>


Here is the sendemail.php code:

<?php
$to="Laurendragon@laurendragon.net";
$subject="Mailing List Signup";
$body="
Name $name
City $city
State $state
Email $email";
mail($to,$subject,$body);
?>

I tried to change the code to a post array:

$body="
Name $_POST['name']
City $_POST['city']
State $_POST['state']
Email $_POST['email']";

I got this error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in sendemail.php on line 15

Line 15 when I look at it in Dreamweaver MX is Name $_POST['name']

Any help is much appreciated. :D

Try:



$body = "Name: ".$_POST['name']."\r\n";
$body .= "City: ".$_POST['city']."\r\n";

//rest of code here!


Hope this helps.

Well, I'm back to the drawing board again. The email sends fine, but the info entered in the form is not sent. This is all I see:

Name:
City:
State:
Email:

Thanks for the response, though.

Maybe try this and let us know your out puts



$Name = $_POST['Name'];
$City = $_POST['City'];
$State = $_POST['State'];
$Email = $_POST['Email'];

echo "Your variables are set as:\n Name:" . $name . "\nCity:" . $city . ":\nState:" . $ state . "\nEmail:" . $email ;


$body = "Name:" . $name . "\nCity:" . $city . ":\nState:" . $ state . "\nEmail:" . $email ;

if (empty($body) || ($body=="") || (!isset($body)) {
echo "Body is empty";
} else {
echo "You should have this in your email" . $body;
}


It may be that the post is case sensitive.

It may be that the post is case sensitive.

Yes, all variables are case sensitive so if you have a form named "name" but you are calling it in your PHP like so: $_POST['Name'], you will continue to get blank results.

Hope this helps.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in D:\Hosting\4213630\html\sendemail.php on line 19

That's what I got when I tried that, line 19 is echo "Your variables are set as:\n Name:" . $name . "\nCity:" . $city . ":\nState:" . $ state . "\nEmail:" . $email ;
