Form email notification depends on drop down

**alexjewell** · 09-04-2007, 12:00 AM

Ummm, I'm curious about this line:

Code:

<select name="email-to"'Track' style="font-weight: bold; font-style:italic">

What is that 'track' doing there???

**big-dog1965** · 09-04-2007, 05:22 PM

<select name="email-to"'Track' style="font-weight: bold; font-style:italic">
That was what i thought I was supost to put in from other reply. I have figured out that email-to is Track so the line is
<select name='Track' style="font-weight: bold; font-style:italic">

well heck guys ive tried to use all kinds of differant ideas on the above metioned post Im shooting in the dark here. I think I understand what is tring to be done with $to as a verable but just dont have a clue.

**big-dog1965** · 09-05-2007, 06:48 AM

I did this and I dont get errors It processes like it should, but NO emails are sent to anyone. Can you see something Im missing.
In PHP line 39 THRU 49 is what I added then line 83 I added !mail("$to
Im woundering if its because I have a $email already for the persons email addess that is filling out the forn.

Form field drop down
<select name='Track' style="font-weight: bold; font-style:italic">

!mail("$to","".$FirstName." ".$RaceDate." Race Registration",
$message,"From: $EMail");

take out the quotes of the php variables,,, they become strings when you do encapsulate them.

like i said before declaring your subject like that can be very hard to debug later. Try to store it as a variable.. believe me it will help in the debugging process

PHP Code:


$subject = $FirstName." ". $RaceDate ." Race Registration";
!mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $Email")

**big-dog1965** · 09-05-2007, 01:18 PM

I replaced

PHP Code:


!mail($to, .$FirstName. .$RaceDate. Race Registration",

$message,"From: $EMail");

with

PHP Code:


$subject = $FirstName." ". $RaceDate ." Race Registration";

!mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $Email")

But stiil looked like it proccessed it ok but no mail

**boogyman** · 09-05-2007, 01:23 PM

oo you are saying not to mail it... sorry id idnt catch that originally

PHP Code:


if( !mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $Email")  )
{
   echo "<h1>Unable to send email; Please try again later</h1>"
} 
else
{
   echo "<h1>Email Sent! Thank You</h1>";
}

**big-dog1965** · 09-05-2007, 01:38 PM

I get errors I paisted what you had and got this
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"' in /home/public_html/Registr/Registration.php on line 84
I changed it to lines 82-92

PHP Code:


$message = stripslashes($message);

$subject = $FirstName." ". $RaceDate ." Race Registration";

!mail($to, $subject, $message");

if( !mail($to, $subject, $message, From: $Email)  )

{

   echo "<h1>Unable to send email; Please try again later</h1>"

} 

else

{

   echo "<h1>Email Sent! Thank You</h1>";

}

**boogyman** · 09-05-2007, 01:48 PM

$subject = $FirstName." ". $RaceDate ." Race Registration";
!mail($to, $subject, $message");
if( !mail($to, $subject, $message, From: $Email) )
{

delete the bolded/blue text

**big-dog1965** · 09-05-2007, 02:38 PM

I get this
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/wichita/public_html/Registr/Registration.php on line 84
Lines 82-85

PHP Code:


$message = stripslashes($message);

$subject = $FirstName." ". $RaceDate ." Race Registration";

if( !mail($to, $subject, $message, From: $Email) )

{ {

**elwinh** · 09-05-2007, 02:40 PM

PHP Code:


$message = stripslashes($message); 

$subject = $FirstName." ". $RaceDate ." Race Registration"; 

if( !mail($to, $subject, $message, From: $Email) ) 

{ {

must be

PHP Code:


$message = stripslashes($message); 

$subject = $FirstName." ". $RaceDate ." Race Registration"; 

if( !mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: ".$Email) ) 

{ {

This is what php.net says:

PHP Code:


<?php

$to      = 'nobody@example.com';

$subject = 'the subject';

$message = 'hello';

$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .

    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .

    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();



mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>
