Heres the code where the problem is:

PHP Code:


			
<? //initilize PHP

if($Submit) //If Submit is hit

{

    mail("dazzlyworks@gmail.com", "$name", "$email", "$button", "$website name", "$siteurl", "linkimageurl", "linkimagepage", "$subject", "$comments");

}



$URL="http://www.dazzlyworks.tk";

header ("Location: $URL");

?>

I'm not sure why you have 10 parimiters.

This is how it should be:

PHP Code:


			
$to = $_POST["to"];

$from = $_POST["from"];

$subject = $_POST["subject"];

$message = $_POST["message"];

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";

$headers .= "From: " . $from . "\r\n";

$mailsent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

This should work because I copied and pasted little bits of my email spammer program that does work. Also The mail() function works differently with servers. Sometimes you enter in the from field, for example "me" and it comes out "me@myhost.com" rather than just "me". If it does come out as "me@myhost.com", you better be sure you got that to email address right, otherwise it bounces back (Imagine that with my email spammer program - it can send repeat emails...)

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure you need all those. If you want variables to be in the message:

Code:

 $to = $_POST["to"];
$from = $_POST["from"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];

// Added: 
$message = "Website: <a href=\"" .$_POST['siteurl']. "\">" .$_POST['website name']. "</a><br>" .$message. ""

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";
$headers .= "From: " . $from . "\r\n";
$mailsent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

You should be able to continue from there...

Thanks but where do I add my email address?

For the email to send to or from something?
You'll need another page: submit.php

PHP Code:


			
<form action="submit2.php" method="post"><br>

To:<input name="to" type="text" value=""><br>

From:<input name="from" type="text" value=""><br>

Website: <input name="website name" type="text" value=""><br>

Website URL: <input name="siteurl" type="text" value=""><br>

Message:<input name="message" type="text" value=""><br>

</form>

Also name the script I gave you before as :submit2.php

okay im confused so have 3 scripts in the folder? cuz right now i have the index and the submit one

1jetsam · #8 (**permalink**) 01-16-05, 06:39 PM

Copy and paste these scripts to a (html/php) editor:

submit2.php

PHP Code:


			
$to = $_POST["to"];

$from = $_POST["from"];

$subject = $_POST["subject"];

$message = $_POST["message"];



// Added: 

$message = "Website: <a href=\"" .$_POST['siteurl']. "\">" .$_POST['website name']. "</a><br>" .$message. ""



$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";

$headers .= "From: " . $from . "\r\n";

$mailsent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

submit.php

PHP Code:


			
<form action="submit2.php" method="post"><br>

To:<input name="to" type="text" value=""><br>

From:<input name="from" type="text" value=""><br>

Website: <input name="website name" type="text" value=""><br>

Website URL: <input name="siteurl" type="text" value=""><br>

Message:<input name="message" type="text" value=""><br>

<input type="submit">

</form>

You may have other pages on your website, but theses are the ones that do the process. To test them out, view the "submit.php" page (when it is uploaded).

I think that about sums it up. I you don't understand, ask your host about server uploading or whatever your server problems are (unless it is a php error).
