Hi... I'm new to this...

I need to get a form based on $_POST TO $_GET... I get a 405 error with $_POST and with $_GET nothing happens..

The code is

contact.html

<form action="script.php" method="get">
<table width="901" align=center bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor=#FFFFFF>
<tr>
<td colspan=2><div align="center" class="style31 style18">
<p class="style19">Contact Form</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="style16"><font color=red>*</font> Person:</span></td>
<td><span class="style16">
<select name="sendto">
<option value=" ">Haman </option>
<option value=" ">Liz </option>
<option value=" ">Kristen </option>
</select>
</span></td>
</tr>
<tr><td><span class="style16"><font color=red>*</font> Name:</span></td>
<td><input name="Name" size=25></td>
</tr>
<tr><td><span class="style16"><font color=red>*</font> Email:</span></td>

<td><span class="style16">
<input type="radio" name="list" value="No">
No Thanks<br>
<input type="radio" name="list" value="Yes" checked>
Yes, keep me informed<br>
</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2><span class="style16"><font color=red>*</font> Message:</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align=left><span class="style17">
<textarea name="Message" rows=5 cols=35></textarea>
</span></td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center><input type="submit" name="send" value="Submit"></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center><small>A <font color=red>*</font> indicates a field is required</small></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

script.php
<?php
$to = $_GET['sendto'] ;
$from = $_GET['Email'] ;
$name = $_GET['Name'] ;
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$message = $_GET['Message'] ;

$fields = array();
$fields{"Company"} = "Company";
$fields{"Email"} = "Email";
$fields{"Phone"} = "Phone";
$fields{"list"} = "Mailing List";

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_GET[$a]); }

$headers2 = "From: ";
$subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us";
$autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible, usualy within 48 hours. If you have any more questions, please consult our website at www.oursite.com";

if($message == '') {print "You have not entered the message, please go back and try again";}
else {
if($to == '') {print "You have not entered the contact person, please go back and try again";}
else {
if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";}
else {
if($name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";}
else {
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
if($send)
{header( "Location: thanku.html" );}
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail."; }
}
}
}
}
?>

It's best to just use method="post" and use the $_POST command. Otherwise it clutters up the url bar and people can do malicious things with GET commands.

In your php.ini theres a setting i forgot which it is, but it declares whether you use $_POST or the name of the input that your sending through with a dollar sign (IE: $Fname, $Lname).. Make sure your setting is set to the one that allows $_POST you'll have to do more research with it.

Also the URL (including the get params) is limited to something like 256 charactures.

Just set the method="get" and use $_REQUEST instead of $_GET. Here $_REQUEST will get both "GET" and "POST" methods.

Try taking the spaces out..

PHP Code:

<?php
$to = $_GET['sendto'];
$from = $_GET['Email'];
$name = $_GET['Name'];
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$message = $_GET['Message'];
?>

I believe the array assignment needs to use square brackets, not curly ones

PHP Code:

//doesn't work
//$fields = array();
//$fields{"Company"} = "Company";
//$fields{"Email"} = "Email";
//$fields{"Phone"} = "Phone";
//$fields{"list"} = "Mailing List";

//this should work
$fields = array();
$fields["Company"] = "Company";
$fields["Email"] = "Email";
$fields["Phone"] = "Phone";
$fields["list"] = "Mailing List";

Would that be register_globals?
