PHP - Letting User Input Php Code And Having A Function Parameter Act On It

The PHP code sends me an email from the server, but the user input is empty or "blank". I only receive: "From: \ Email: \ Subject: \ Message: " and that's it.

How do I fix my PHP and/or HTML code to receive user input from the form? Attached is my existing HTML and PHP code that doesn't send me any "user input" from the form.

Thanks to anyone who can help!!

I have some code where I am inserting a record into a database.

Code: [Select]

However, I have a problem - i get this error message;

An error occurred in script 'C:\Users\David Morgan\Desktop\WEBSITES\hairz_&_graces\site\admin\add_product.php' on line 124:
mysqli_stmt_bind_param() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, boolean given

How do I solve this as I think I have everything in place (variable associations, etc)?

Hi all   Is it possible to have a function with two parameters but and then check if one is passed before using it.   In this code here I want to remove spaces and change to lowercase.   If the $extra parameter is set I want to add that to the end of the string.    

function className($nametoUse, $extra){

Hello

I am experiencing some issues with a function and I cannot identify the problem.
The function is not receiving any parameter.

The URL values are passed correctly.  I used echo to display the parameters outside the function and that worked.
I also used echo to display the parameters inside the function and no parameter were displayed. 
So the function is not receiving parameters. 


Code: [Select]
<?php

$find = $_REQUEST['u_find'];
$field = $_REQUEST['u_field'];
$searching = $_REQUEST['u_search'];


 echo"(1a)$find, (1b)$field, (1c)$searching";//outside function

function test_display($searching, $field, $find)
{
   echo"(2a)$find, (2b)$field, (2c)$searching";//inside function
 
}

?>

Code: [Select]
function fetch_feedback_best()
{
$sql = "SELECT
`like`
FROM `feedback`
GROUP BY `page` asc
LIMIT 10";

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql))
{
$results[] = $row;
}

return $results;
}

This doesn't work.  My error is "Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given in /blah.inc.php on line 105 ".

Code: [Select]
<?php

$results = fetch_feedback_best();

foreach ($results as $result)
{
?>
echo $result['page'];
}

?>
