dear coder,

Recently i search over the net and obtain some mail function code, and trying to add in addition information

I have create a form (order.htm)and trying to call the (order.php) php code as below

PHP Code:


			
<?php $ip = $_POST['ip']; 

$httpref = $_POST['httpref']; 

$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent']; 

$client = $_POST['client']; 

$clientmail = $_POST['clientmail'];

$clientdomain = $_POST['clientdomain'];

$clientaddress = $_POST['clientaddress'];

$clientphone = $_POST['clientphone'];

$clientpromo = $_POST['clientpromo'];

$clientpackage = $_POST['clientpackage'];

$clientpayment = $_POST['clientpayment'];

$clientcomment = $_POST['clientcomment'];





if (eregi('http:', $clientcomment)) {

die ("Do NOT try that! ! ");

}

if(!$clientmail == "" && (!strstr($clientmail,"@") || !strstr($clientmail,"."))) 

{

echo "<h2>Use Back - Enter valid e-mail</h2>\n"; 

$badinput = "<h2>order was NOT submitted</h2>\n";

echo $badinput;

die ("Use back! ! ");

}



if(empty($client) || empty($clientmail) || empty($clientdomain) || empty($clientaddress) || empty($clientphone) ) {

echo "<h2>Use Back - fill in all fields (Require)</h2>\n";

die ("Use back! ! "); 

}



$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;



$attn = $clientpackage ; 

$subject = $attn; 



$clietcomment = stripcslashes($clientcomment); 



$message = " $todayis [EST] \n

Attention: $attn \n

Subject : $subject \n

Message: $clientcomment \n 

From: $Client ($clientmail)\n





Additional Info : IP = $ip \n

Browser Info: $httpagent \n

Referral : $httpref \n

";



$from = "From: $clientmail\r\n";





mail("host@privatehoster.com", $subject, $message, $from);



?>

display area

PHP Code:


			
<p align="center">

Date: <?php echo $todayis ?> 

<br>



Thank You : <?php echo $client ?> ( <?php echo $clientmail ?> ) 

<br>





Thank for purchasing : <?php echo $clientpackage ?>

<br>

 

Once we receive the payment, we will send you the login detail at <?php echo $clientmail ?> <br>

 

<?php $notesout = str_replace("\r", "<br/>", $clientcomment); 

echo $notesout; ?> 

<br>



<?php echo $ip ?>

When I receive the email, the information display are missing,

the problem probably come from

mail("host@privatehoster.com", $subject, $message, $from);

but i have no idea how to modify it...

can some one give me some guide?

From the code you have provided, it should work properly.

When you receive the mail, is it only certain info such as IP address, browser type etc empty in the message body?

Or are all form fields empty in the mail? If so, is your form script saved with the .php file extension? If saved with .htm, it may not be parsing the php code and passing the POST data.

Hopefully iamfreelancer will have more helpful points.

See mylinear's post:

The first time I copied and pasted your code, I put the third fragment you posted in something.html - and got the same results as you. I changed the filename to something.php, and it works the way you want it to.

i haven't test out your code yet... but from the look of the result file that you posted... it think it is exactly what Seanie said... save your html form page into a .php file....

if problem still exist... please let us know again.

I have solve my problem,

just to add in those additional infor at

PHP Code:


			
$message = " $todayis [EST] \n

Attention: $attn \n

Subject : $subject \n

Message: $clientcomment \n 

From: $Client ($clientmail)\n 

....

...

I do face another problem here,

I have a webmail at mydomain.com/webmail, but I have set my MX record in to mail.live.com

every time people send me email, i will receive at mail.live.com, but I wonder why all this infor submit will not arrive my mail.live.com, instead drop into my server webmail.
