hey... my PHP form will not work...?

Question

Here is the script...
FORM:

Your Email:

First Name:

Last Name:

HERE IS MY SENDMAIL.PHP FILE...

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$first_name = $_REQUEST['first_name'] ;
$last_name = $_REQUEST['last_name'] ;

mail( "[e-mail]", "Feedback Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.illustratedimagery.com/testsite/home.htm" );
?>


---- I HAVE ALREADY VERIFIED WITH MY HOST THAT OUR SERVER SUPPORTS PHP. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG.

Thanks, really appreciated.

Answer 1

Not too sure if there's a $_REQUEST syntax, but I know that there's a $_POST syntax.

$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'] ;
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'] ;

You used "post" as your method, so the PHP form will also use $_POST syntax.

Answer 2

$message in your email function is undefined. Perhaps you were going to format the name and message into one variable called $message? Or perhaps you left out a line in your PHP

$message = $_POST['email'];

Don't forget you used the post method in your form

Answer 3

?php

@set_time_limit(0);

require_once 'smtp_mail.php';

$to = "[e-mail]";
$from = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Subject here";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n".
"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n".
"From: \"My Name\" <".$from.">\r\n".
"To: \"Client\" <".$to.">\r\n".
"Date: ".date("r")."\r\n".
"Subject: ".$subject."\r\n";

$message = "


html message

here
border=\"0\" alt=\"\">


";

$response = smtp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $from, $headers);

if($response[0]) echo "The message has been sent !
\n".$response[1];
else echo "The message can not been sent !
\n".$response[1];

?>
That is a working code in PHP.

It says $responce not request, that other person that answered tagged it good.
Depends on PHP4 or PHP5 also, they are basically same, but minor diffs.
