PHP - Sending A Form Not Working

Hi all

I am working on a filter system that when a user selects a drop down menu item it automatically updates the page taking the value from the form and sending it through the URL parameter to update the page accordingly:

<form id="category_filter" name="category_filter" method="post" action="">
        <label for="category_filter"></label>
        <select name="category_filter" id="category_filter" style="width: 160px" onchange="this.form.submit();" >
         <option value="" selected class="meter-calc-text">Category</option>
          <?php

                  $fetchcategories=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `categories` ORDER BY position ASC");

                  while($returnedcategories=mysql_fetch_array($fetchcategories)) {

                     echo "<option value=\"".$returnedcategories['name']."\" >".$returnedcategories['name']."</option>";

                  }

                  ?>
        </select>
      </form>

The only thing is, it doesn't pass the value to the url, it remains blank

Many thanks for your help.

Ok I dont understand why my php form keeps sending me blank emails. Because I have a checker with java script. Did I do something wrong in my coding with the php forms or is it just the javascript on the sites problem?

Here is the php form code:
Code: [Select]

<script language="JavaScript">
function checkForm()
{

var cname, caddress, cphone, cemail, ccontact;
with(window.document.msgform)
{
cname    = name;
caddress = address;
cphone = phone;
cemail    = email;
ccontact   = contact;

}


   if(trim(cname.value) == '')
   {
      alert('Please enter your name');
      cname.focus();
      return false;
   }
   else if(trim(caddress.value) == '')
   {
      alert('Please enter your address');
      cemail.focus();
      return false;
   }
   else if(trim(cphone.value) == '')
   {
      alert('Please enter your phone number');
      cemail.focus();
      return false;
   }
   else if(!isEmail(trim(cemail.value)))
   {
      alert('Email address is not valid');
      cemail.focus();
      return false;
   }
   else if(trim(ccontact.value) == '')
   {
      alert('Please enter your contact person');
      cemail.focus();
      return false;
   }
   
   
else
{
cname.value    = trim(cname.value);
caddress.value = trim(caddress.value);
cphone.value = trim(cphone.value);
cemail.value   = trim(cemail.value);
ccontact.value   = trim(ccontact.value);
return true;
}


}

hello,

i have implemented a jquery function like this: http://jsbin.com/ujuse

i need to grab the contents of the textarea to store it in a session, but without sending a form, is this possible??

thanks for looking

Hello Everyone,

Currently our form is not sending confirmation emails. We can see the quote requests in our content management system however are sales team is not getting the email requesting the quote. There is no option in our content management system to click this on or off so I am assuming something is not right in the code.

Hi, I'm new to PHP and have dabbled a little but need some help or someone to point me in the right direction if possible.

I have an ajax web-form that sends the inputed data to a php file and then emails the results to the designated address (all working fine).

However, what I am looking to do is have the php file (in addition to the current function) convert the data into XML and then attach the XML file to the email that is sent out.

As mentioned I'm new to php and have a small amount of knowledge so any help on this would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

EDIT, CORRECTION- IT WENT TO MY JUNKMAIL. HOW DO I PREVENT THAT? ALSO, IT DID NOT PUT THE USER'S IP IN THE 'POSTER' FIELD IN DB SO I CAN PREVENT MULTIPLE POSTS PER PERSON.

Hi, I went over the code and looks good to me, I put the "poster" field in my Members table. Everything looks good, my page loads with no errors, but the email never gets sent upon submitting the form "user poll"

here is the relevant code, please any help greatly appreciated! thank you.


Code: [Select]
<?php
if($_POST['submit'])
{
$currentPoster = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; // get ip of visitor
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE poster = '$currentPoster'"); //check DB for user ip

if (mysql_num_rows($query) > 0)  //if ip exists, user already posted
{ 
$error=1; //this is t o set if error message echoes or not.
      $errorMessage=" You already posted to this poll"; // echo error to the multiple post prick//echoed out below
} else {
  $query2 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO members(poster) VALUES ('$currentPoster')");// insert new ip into DB
 
     $email_from = '.info POLL'; // email information
 
     $email_subject = " POLL RESPONDER";
 
     $email_body = "You have received a new poll message from the user ip address of  $currentPoster.\n".
                            "Here is the message:\n $userfeedback";
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

   $headers .= "Reply-To: no one \r\n";
 
   mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);// sends off the final email.
 $error=0;

Hello,

I'm new to PHP but i am quite good with javascript programming etc so i'm just getting to terms with using PHP.  I've made a contact form with an IF statement that will display confirmation within my page upon post. (I'm not even sure if this logic is right however).  The form seems to submit but doesn't show the confirmation message and doesn't send an email to my webserver.
Code: [Select]

Just looking for some advice really, i'm sure it's something very simple!

Thank you.

Okay, below is my mailer for a contact form i created. On one site it works fine. I even have it sending to several addresses from the othersite. However this site it doesnt want to work. PHP5 and mail() function is active.


<?php 
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['fullname'])); 
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email'])); 
$EmailTo = "james@jd-creations.co.uk";
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject'])); 
$answer = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['answer'])); 
$Comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['message'])); 
$Subject = "The Reason - Contact Us";

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($answer)!=="20") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Name)=="")    $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Comments)=="")  $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Subject)=="")   $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/error2.php\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $EmailFrom;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Comments: ";
$Body .= $Comments;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/sent.php\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/error.php\">";
}
?>


now i know it is wroking because it takes me to the sent.php page. not error.php

i think it worked once. now not at all.

Ok, I have tried using the code from this link http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100927173625AAmEmiW


Code: [Select]
<?php
// Get the name they entered in the form
// We'll be naming the file this
$file = $_POST['name'];
// Get the email from the form
$email = $_POST['email'];
// We want the file to be a text file right?
$ex = ".txt";
// Try to open a file named $file$ex (johndoe.txt for example)
// Because this file doesn't exist yet the server creates it
$write = fopen("$file$ex","w");
// Now open the file up again but this time save the email in it
fwrite($write,$email);
// MAKE SURE you close the file!!!
fclose($write);
// The folder that this script is in on the server is where the file we just made was saved
// We can 'rename' it to another folder
// The folder on the server we want to move it to 
$data = "../emails/";
// Now put it all together: This example goes out of the folder we're in and into the folder 'emails'
// The new 'name' would be this now (../emails/johndoe.txt): So now the file is moved to where we want for storage
rename ("$file","$data$file$ex");
// The script is done, send the user to another page (Just read the address below and you'll get it)
exit;
?>



unfortunately it doesn't do as i would like.  I'm not sure how to get it to save a new file based on a variable on the form page or from one of the fields in the form.  What i need is a way for a user to submit the form and it save the data into a uniquely named csv file.  I know the code given is for text files, not csv, but that was about all i could find.  If there is any help i would greatly appreciate it.

Hi all

I am in the process of creating a product page where the user can type in three initials into a form and then 'clicks add to basket'.

The button doesn't use a form just a url:

basket.php?action=add&id=1&qty=1

This adds the item into a basket using sessions rather than a database. The question is, how do I add three variables into my form so that they are sent via the URL and into the session?

Wil I have to start again with a form?

Here's the code:

<td class="table-font-grey">Why not make your whip extra special by adding up to three elegantly engraved Kunstler script initials.</td>
            <td width="42" style="border: 1px solid grey;"><input name="initial_1" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1" height="40px" /></td>
            <td width="43" style="border: 1px solid grey;"><input name="initial_2" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1" height="40px" /></td>
            <td width="43" style="border: 1px solid grey;"><input name="initial_3" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1" height="40px" /></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td height="15">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="328" class="table-font">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="42" align="center" class="table-font">1</td>
            <td width="43" align="center" class="table-font">2</td>
            <td align="center" class="table-font">3</td>
            </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
            <td colspan="3" class="table-font">&nbsp;</td>
            <td align="right" class="table-font">&nbsp;</td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        <hr />
        <p>&nbsp;</p>
        <table width="494" border="0">
          <tr class="table-font">
            <td width="263" height="24">
           
            <a href="<?php echo "basket.php?action=add&amp;id=1&amp;qty=1" ?>" title="Add <?php echo $product['name'] ?> to Cart">
            <a href="<?php echo WEB_URL."basket.php?action=add&amp;id=1&amp;qty=1" ?>" title="Add <?php echo $product['name'] ?> to Cart">
            <img src="<?php echo WEB_URL."images/product-add-button.gif" ?>" alt="Buy <?php echo $product['name'] ?>" /></a>
           
Many thanks

Please help:  
I'm trying to figure out what is going on with a custom made PHP contact form on my company's multiple websites.
Check it out he   www.TacticalSolar.com

 This custom form was made by a former  employee and USUALLY works great.  Validation, spam checking, database connection, etc.     But I've discovered a bug. The form does not always actually send the data to us when it says it does! This problem almost always happens in Internet Explorer and Safari browsers.  But sometimes that data shows up.  This does not effect Firefox or Chrome.   

I've been looking everywhere, but no idea what is causing this.  Thoughts? Ideas?
I'm no PHP coder so even obvious places to look are welcome.
