hi, i would like to add these two topics in my php form, but im struggling as where to put it.

the two are: phone and address

heres my entire code if it helps
------------------------------------------
<?php
/************************************************** *\
* PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
* information on the mail() function for PHP, see
* http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
\************************************************* **/


// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email. This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be. It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to. This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.

$sendTo = "dazzclub@yahoo.co.uk";
$subject = "BH thermochromic inks";

// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method. From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.


// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable. First, include From:
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"].">\r\n";

// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own. The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the return-path email
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];

// now we can add the content of the message to a body variable
$message = $_POST["message"];



// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers, $body );

?>
--------------------
thanks

PHP Code:

// now we can add the content of the message to a body variable
$frm_message = $_POST['message'];
$frm_phone = $_POST['phone'];
$frm_address = $_POST['address'];

$message .= "Below is what was submitted via your online form\n\n";
$message .= "Message: ";
$message .= $frm_message;
$message .= "\n\n Phone: "
$message .= $frm_phone;
$message .= "\n\n Address: "
$message .= $frm_address; 


That should do it. Just to explain what i've done, i've placed all the form information into seperate variabels, prefixed with frm_ so you can distinguish them easily.

Then, i placed all this into the $message variable (this is what will actually appear in your email). Notice the .=? Well this allows you to add to a variable that may already have information stored in it, without deleting anything within it. The \n\n that you see allows for new lines (n stands for new line )

Hope this helps, sorry if i seem a little rushed!

hi thaks for the quick relply, ive pasted that code in my php form, but still the phone number and address arent sent, i think im puttin it in wrong heres what it looks like.

$message .= "Message: ";

$message .= $frm_address;


// once the variables have been defined, they can be included

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers, $body );

?>

sorry for pasting the whole thing, it gets the problem across easier than me explaining.

thanks again,

ok, does everything else come through except the phone and address values?

so you still get:
"Below is what was submitted via your online form

Message: bla bla bla

Phone:

Address:"

It should make any different, but replace

PHP Code:

$frm_message = $_POST['message']; 
$frm_phone = $_POST['phone']; 
$frm_address = $_POST['address']; 


with

PHP Code:

$frm_message = $_POST["message"]; 
$frm_phone = $_POST["phone"]; 
$frm_address = $_POST["address"]; 


Also, on your actual form that users fill out to send the email, have you got the values set correctly, as in

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="phone" VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="address" VALUE="">

??

I`ve tried what u suggested but no luck, i didnt even get "message blah blah" the first time i added ur code to my php. only thing coming through was what ever i written in the message part, the email they put in , the subject title of the email and my email.

am I stuffed? Royal style?
thanks for helping

That's pretty weird...

Try echoing all the value, so instead of sending the mail off at the end, do this:

PHP Code:

echo('
Raw Message: ' . $frm_message . '<BR>
Phone Number: ' . $frm_phone . '<BR>
Address: ' . $frm_address . '<BR>
Emailed Message: ' . $message . '); 


Put that instead of the mail() and see what it outputs, it should have a value for each. If it does not we know where the problem is - im pretty certain what I gave you is correct.

See what happens

Hi

My php file is to go with a flash form, not a html file. this could be the problem.
