Hello, well im trying to get a form to send its contents to me.. unluckily, its not working.

I have tried many formmail scripts - PHP and CGI - followed the readme's, but none have worked.. i always get a different error on each one.

Right now i have it set for the php mail function, but its not working either, it just refreshes the page when i press submit, but i dont get the email..

Form Code:

<form method="post" action="" name="form1">
<tr>
             <td align="left" valign="middle">Nickname</td>
             <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><input type="text" name="nickname"></td></tr>
        <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">Age</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><input type="text" name="age"></td></tr>
       <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">Location</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><input type="text" name="location"></td></tr>
      <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">Email</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><input name="email" type="text" /></td></tr>
      <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">AIM</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><input type="text" name="aim"></td></tr>
      <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">Are you willing to donate money? (Paypal or Mail)</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle">
      <p>
                   <label>
                   <input type="radio" name="donate" value="Yes">
 Yes</label>
                   <br>
                   <label>
                   <input type="radio" name="donate" value="No">
 No</label>
                   <br>
                 </p></td></tr>
     
      <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">Have you been an Admin before?</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle">
      <p>
                   <label>
                   <input type="radio" name="experience" value="Yes">
 Yes</label>
                   <br>
                   <label>
                   <input type="radio" name="experience" value="No">
 No</label>
                   <br>
                 </p></td></tr>
     
     <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">Do you know the AMXX commands?</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle">
      <p>
                   <label>
                   <input type="radio" name="amxx" value="Yes">
 Yes</label>
                   <br>
                   <label>
                   <input type="radio" name="amxx" value="No">
 No</label>
                   <br>
                 </p></td></tr>
     <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">At what times will you be available?</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><input type="text" name="available"></td></tr>
     <tr>
       <td align="left" valign="middle">Why do you want to become an Admin?&nbsp;</td>
       <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><textarea wrap="soft" name="why" cols="35" rows="5"></textarea></td></tr>
   
    <tr><td align="left" valign="middle">Do you promise not to abuse Admin?</td> <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><input name="abuse" type="checkbox" value="Yes">
    Yes </td>
    </tr>
    <tr><td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"></td>
        <td width="400" align="left" valign="middle"><input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit">                        
    </tr>
                              </form>

Mail Code:

 <?php


if ($submit) { // if this is submited

// error messages (if nothing in box sends error) //
if ($nickname <= "")
$error = "Please enter Name";
else if ($email <= "")
$error = "Please enter Email";
else if ($abuse <= "")
$error = "You must checkbox yes, and agree to not abusing admin!";

if ($error) // if there is a error
echo ($error);
else { // and if there not do this
mail("nyxero@hotmail.com", "Contact", "nickname: $nickname\nemail: $email\nage: $age","From: $nickname <$email>");

Echo("Thank you $name,\nyour information has been sent thank you.");


}

}

?>

(Right now the mail php code isnt setup for all the form inputs, as i wanted to test if it worked first.. but it didnt.)

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Your form's action is not set, you need to set the action to the page where the php script resides.

both codes are on the same file, which is a .php file.

**

Ok, i tried putting the mail func code on a new .PHP file and added the action to the form.. but still no e-mail sent =\

Edit:

if you want to see it in action:
http://teamloa.com/becomeadmin.php

You must define first the variables so any mail could be sent

PHP Code:

$email = $_POST['email'];
$nickname = $_POST['nickname']; // etc..
//...
//now for the if's
//if( $nickname  <= "") i guess it wont work i suggest you try this
if(!strlen($nickname))
{
$error ="Please enter nickname<br>";
}
if(!strlen($email))
{
$error .= "Please enter your email<br>"; // we need the .= so $error can keep the last value too
}
//etc.. i hope you got it. 


Noxel, you can keep all your code inside the same page if you like you would have to just set your forms action to the exact same page.

Raulica is right as well, you should not assume that register_globals is on by default.

I guess he didn't read the manually very well, he picked up those code somewhere else.
