send mail php

[dianadolce]

Can any one help me set up my send mail php script to do what I need it to do? In the form I added 2 more fields called company and phone. As the script is written right now only the name, email and message will show up in the submitted email. I have tried to add the 2 new fields in many ways, but I get an error. Just not doing it right because I am not php savvy. What I want to see in the submitted email is this order:

Name:
Company:
Email:
Phone:
Message:

(the form is in a flash file so can't show you that, but it does work with the php as shown below, just not how I want it to)

***************************

<?
//Send Mail PHP
//
//Upload this file to the root of your web directory

if(!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail']) || !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_message']) || !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name']))

{
    //Insert Address(s) to send the mail to
    $to = "dianadolce@gmail.com";

    //Subject
    $subject = "Message from Amadeus Brochure Form";
    
    //Body
    $body = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_message']);

    $body .= "\n---------------------------\n";

    $body .= "Mail sent by: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail']  . ">\n";

    $body .= "\n\n";

    $body .= "\nservice powered by dhsartstudio.com\n";

    $header = "From: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";

    $header .= "Reply-To: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";

    $header .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n";

    $header .= "X-Priority: 1";

    //Mail Sentinel
    if(@mail($to, $subject, $body, $header))

    {
    //Return Mail Status to Flash Form
        echo "output=sent";

    } else {

        echo "output=error";

    }

} else {

    echo "output=error";

}

?>

Thank you, thank you for looking at this and helping me understand what has to happen.

welcome to the forums, and thank you for using a descriptive title.

Please review our Posting Policies especially in regards to posting computer code within a thread... Rule #8

//Body
$body = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_message']);

$body .= "\n---------------------------\n";

$body .= "Mail sent by: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";

$body .= "\n\n";

$body .= "\nservice powered by dhsartstudio.com\n";

just add another line to the body to include whatever you call the phone and company and any other additional values

...
$body .= "Mail sent by: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";

$body .= "Phone Number: ". $HTTP_POST_VARS['phone'] ."\n";

$body .= "Company: ". $HTTP_POST_VARS['company'] ."\n";

...

That would put the phone and company, but it follows the format of

$body .= "Title: ". $HTTP_POST_VARS['_form_name_element_'] ."\n";

to explain that

• $body .= is to initiate contantenate something to the end of the string, in your case the main content section of the email

• "Title: ". will give the reference to some type of title. Please not that it must be enclosed within quotation marks, as that is part of PHP Syntax.

• $HTTP_POST_VARS['_form_name_element_'] the name of the element as it appears in the form so for the phone text input form field you would put <input type="text" name="_form_name_element_" value="">

• ."\n"; create a new line character (character return), so the next instance of the body tag is on a new line.

if you follow that format you can put as many new elements as you wish.

Wonderful, I will try that again. I can see where I made a mistake previously trying to do this. We let you know, thanks Boogyman
