Well, I take notes at school on a laptop, but the laptop is the schools. At the end of class, the teacher never gave us enough time to shut down the laptops and we were always late. So, in order to get the notes to your self, you have to send them to your email. Me being the smart fox I am, decided to make a script that would easily email something. Anyway...
The script is two different pages. One HTML one PHP.
This is the PHP script
<MAIL.HTML>
<html>
<body>
<form action="mail.php" method="POST">
To:<br><input name="to" type="text" value=""><br>
Subject:<br><input name="subject" type="text" value=""><br>
Your name:<br><input name="from_header" type="text" value=""><br>
Message:<br><textarea name="contents" rows=4 cols=50></textarea>
<br><input type="submit" value="Send" class="submit"></form>
</body>
</html>
Here is the PHP part.
<MAIL.PHP>
<?
if($contents != "")
{
//send mail - $subject & $contents come from surfer input
mail($_POST['to'], $_POST['subject'], $_POST['contents'], $_POST['from_header']);
// redirect back to url visitor came from
header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");
}
else
{
print("<HTML><BODY>Error, no comments were submitted!");
print("</BODY></HTML>");
}
?>
Ok, the problem is that when ever I fill out all the imput boxes, the php page still displayes Error, no comments were submitted! So, whats the fix?

i dont do php...but dont you have to read in the form fields?
in asp...i would do this:
dim contents
contents=Request.Form("contents") |
otherwise...contents would equal "".

Well your script looks fine. i would check that all your variables are named correctly. Like for you textarea name and your php variable, so they match. Other wise there is something else going on.
I have a php and a asp host. My asp host is free and comes with an ftp. I don't even know how long I had that account. It is http://www.7host.com, and sing up for the free hosting. And if your interested http://www.1and1.com is having a 6 month free trial of there php bussiness hosting. It is free (they don't even ask for your credit card) and comes with a domain no charge.

probably already fixed it by now but you need
IF ($_POST['contents'] != "")
|
Current time is 11:00 am | |
