Anyone familiar with PHP programming

Hey all,

I am about to pull my hair out....ok thats a lie I have no hair. Anyway Does anyone have web building experiance? I cannot get my php script to work and I have been at it for 10 hours trying different things. If anyone could help that would be great! Thanks

your forms seem to be working fine...is your host's php configured to allow the email function or are you trying to relay through some other email server?

According to my server company they accept php. I just dont receive the e-mails. I will give them a call to see if she had any clue what she was talking about. Thanks

Can you post ur code?

I will send it to you.

Sent you a rework. Let me know how it goes. :)

Didnt work. Im gonna get ahold of my provider tomarrow and find out what the heck is going on. Anything I can do for you Ice let me know. I knew there would be someone here in the know that could help. That why I like reptile and motercycle people, always helping out.

If you can post your code I can attempt to help (PHP developer for 7 years now). It's likely that the headers are screwed up in the mail() function, or the lesser possibility that the mail function is disabled (although, this would throw an error if you haven't put an error suppressor before the function).

Sorry to hear that man. It looks like pretty standard stuff. Maybe jhall might be able to shed some light on it. :)

Pretty standard stuff actually...I won't post his code...so here's a simplified/tutorialized version of it.


<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "you@you.com";
$subject = "Form Tutorial";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";

echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "blarg!";

}
?>

Find out what version of php they are running, and also what OS. You code may have to be build around that.

Tech department is supposed to be working on it. I dont understand she said her test worked and she sent it to me and it doesnt work for me. Thanks for you help...

iceman's code would work, also this:

<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$name = stripslashes($name); // <- borrowed from green-beast.com
$email = $_POST["email"];
$website = $_POST["website"];
$sub = $_POST["sub"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$message = stripslashes($message); // <- borrowed from green-beast.com
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"); // <- borrowed from green-beast.com

$to = "email@email.com";
$re = "$sub from $name";
$msg = "Name: $name \n
Email Address: $email \n
Website (if provided): $website \n
Message: $message \n \n
IP Address: $ip ";

if ($message != "" && $name != "" && $sub != "" && $email != "") {
// if required fields are filled out, send message
mail ($to, $re, $msg);
}
else {
// if one of required fields is blank, do nothing
echo "no spam";
exit;
}
?>

Mine's a little more complicated; if you want to view it in action, look at the below image:

If your code follows the standard, not sure why it wouldn't work.

Hey All,


Ok here is the story. Comcast is blocking all e-mail from that server. Even if its redirected it will be blocked. They asked comcast to release the server so hopefully it will be soon. So it wasnt my fault after all and hopefully that will fix it all.

Thanks Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that would explain it! ;)

Great news! It's always a relief when technical problems like that get resolved! :)

Hey I just wanted to drop a line to thank you all for your help. Especially Iceman, I got it working. It appeared to be mostly comcast's issue but I did some minor things to tweak it and I bought a php book for reference in the future. There are 2 great families to belong to.......Reptile people and Bikers.

Great to hear that things got ironed out. And it was my pleasure to help out in any way I could! :D
