Php Form Help

[CellaMarr]

I just developed a simple php form (my first time). I am trying to enable the information that is typed in the form by visitors, to be emailed directly to me. So far I can only get the person's email address and message left in information box to be sent to my email address. However, there are other contents within the form that I also need to receive. Can anyone help.

Here is the code I used for http://www.newnie.com/informationform.php and http://www.newnie.com/handle_form.php
Can anyone take a look at it and tell me what I am missing that is preventing the form from mailing the info to my email address?

Works on mine. If the webforum didn't bork your code, then this might
be the problem:

<form action="handle_form.php"method="post">

You're missing a space between " and method; should be:

<form action="handle_form.php" method="post">

If that isn't it, you're going to have to ask your hosting provider
whether they have access to sendmail turned on for PHP scripts.

When I fill out the form and press send the only information that I receive is the "First Name", "Email Address", and "Project Details". All the other info does not show up. Why will it only send some of the information and not all of it? ("Phone Number", "Profession", "Budget", "Hosting", and "Domain")

Because you're not telling it to send them to you. Consider:

$success = mail($to, $subject, $detail, $headers);

This line is correct and sends the email as it should. You're telling
it that you want $detail as the body of the message. However, when you
load variables:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$detail = $_POST['detail'];
$profession = $_POST['profession'];
$entertainer = $_POST['entertainer'];
$domain = $_POST['domain'];
$hosting = $_POST['hosting'];
$subject = 'Message from newnie.com'; // this is the subject line. you
can make this say whatever you want
$headers = "From: $name <$email>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $name <$email>\n";

$to = 'cellamarr@mac.com'; //change this to your email

you're only putting the contents of the 'detail' form field into
$detail. You need to do something more like:

$body = 'Name: ' . $_POST['name'] . "\n";
$body .= 'EMail: ' . $_POST['email'] . "\n";
$body .= 'Number: " . $_POST['number'] "\n";
// etc
$subject = 'Message from newnie.com'; // this is the subject line. you
can make this say whatever you want
$headers = "From: $name <$email>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $name <$email>\n";

And your mail() statement becomes:

$success = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

It would help an awful lot to see the code...

Try this:

$body = 'Name: ' . $_POST['name'] . "\n";
$body .= 'EMail: ' . $_POST['email'] . "\n";
$body .= 'Number: ' . $_POST['number'] . "\n";
$body .= 'Detail: ' . $_POST['detail'] . "\n";
$body .= 'Profession: ' . $_POST['profession'] . "\n";
$body .= 'Entertainer: ' . $_POST['entertainer'] . "\n";
$body .= 'Domain: ' . $_POST['domain'] . "\n";
$body .= 'Hosting: ' . $_POST['hosting'] . "\n";
$subject = 'Message from newnie.com'; // this is the subject line. you can make this say whatever you want
$headers = 'From: ' . $_POST['name'] . '<' . $_POST['email'] . '>';

$to = 'cellamarr@mac.com'; //change this to your email

$success = mail($to, $subject, $detail, $headers);
if($success){
echo '&sent=OK';
}else{
echo '&sent=Error';
}

Copy and paste exactly as above.
