Hi,

I have the follow script, which has the form for the contact, and the sending part for the form. The page is called like modules.php?module=contact
But i want the sending part to be done when the variable is called, so the url would look like modules.php?module=contact&action=send

PHP Code:

$query = mysql_query("select * from ".$prefix."_mail");

$settings = mysql_fetch_array($query);



$query = mysql_query("select name,email from ".$prefix."_admin_users");

$contacts = mysql_fetch_array($query);



//do the form

echo "<div align=\"center\">You can use this form to contact us.</div>";

echo "<p></p>";

echo "<div align=\"center\">";

echo "<form name=\"contact\" method=\"post\" action=\"modules.php?module=contact&action=send\">";

echo "<p>Name:"; 

echo "<input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" id=\"name\">";

echo "</p>";

echo "<p>E-Mail:"; 

echo "<input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" id=\"email\">";

echo "</p>";

echo "<p>I want to contact:";

echo "<select name=\"people\" id=\"people\">";

echo "<option>- Select One -</option>";

echo "<option value=".$contacts['email'].">";

echo $contacts['name'];

echo "</option>";

echo "</select>";

echo "</p>";

echo "<p>Query:</p>";

echo "<p>"; 

echo "<textarea name=\"query\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"5\" id=\"query\"></textarea>";

echo "</p>";

echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"Submit\">";

echo "</form>";

if($action = $_GET['send'])

{

 $name = $_POST['name'];

 $email = $_POST['email'];

 $query = $_POST['query'];

 $to = $_POST['people'];

 

 $subject = $settings['subject'];

 $from = $email;

 $content = 'Name:'.$name.'\n'

           .'E-Mail:'.$from.'\n'

           .'Query:'.$query.'\n';

           

 mail($to, $subject, $content, $from);

 echo $settings['thankyou'];

} 

What i have above doesnt work, so what do i have to do to this line

PHP Code:

 if($action = $_GET['send']) 

to get it to do what i want to do.

Thanks

You quite simply have to add another = to the existing =.

Like,

PHP Code:

if($action == $_GET['send']) 

What yours--

PHP Code:

if($action = $_GET['send']) 

--did was, it set $action to whatever $_GET['send'] was, if it was nonzero, it set the if() to true, and if it was zero, it set the if() to false.

In case you don't get it:

PHP Code:

$action = 1;

if ($action) { //Yes, that is valid

echo 'This will be displayed';

return 0;

}

else{

echo 'This will not be displayed';

return 0;

}

It doesnt work

This is exactly what i have in the page.

PHP Code:

query = mysql_query("select * from ".$prefix."_mail"); 

$settings = mysql_fetch_array($query); 



$query = mysql_query("select name,email from ".$prefix."_admin_users"); 

$contacts = mysql_fetch_array($query); 



//do the form 

echo "<div align=\"center\">You can use this form to contact us.</div>"; 

echo "<p></p>"; 

echo "<div align=\"center\">"; 

echo "<form name=\"contact\" method=\"post\" action=\"modules.php?module=contact&action=send\">"; 

echo "<p>Name:"; 

echo "<input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" id=\"name\">"; 

echo "</p>"; 

echo "<p>E-Mail:"; 

echo "<input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" id=\"email\">"; 

echo "</p>"; 

echo "<p>I want to contact:"; 

echo "<select name=\"people\" id=\"people\">"; 

echo "<option>- Select One -</option>"; 

echo "<option value=".$contacts['email'].">"; 

echo $contacts['name']; 

echo "</option>"; 

echo "</select>"; 

echo "</p>"; 

echo "<p>Query:</p>"; 

echo "<p>"; 

echo "<textarea name=\"query\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"5\" id=\"query\"></textarea>"; 

echo "</p>"; 

echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"Submit\">"; 

echo "</form>"; 



if($action == $_GET['send']) 

{ 

$name = $_POST['name']; 

$email = $_POST['email']; 

$query = $_POST['query']; 

$to = $_POST['people']; 



$subject = $settings['subject']; 

$from = $email; 

$content = 'Name:'.$name.'\n' 

           .'E-Mail:'.$from.'\n' 

           .'Query:'.$query.'\n'; 

            

mail($to, $subject, $content, $from); 

echo $settings['thankyou']; 

}

if you want to go easy work with a hiddend field.

PHP Code:

query = mysql_query("select * from ".$prefix."_mail"); 

$settings = mysql_fetch_array($query); 



$query = mysql_query("select name,email from ".$prefix."_admin_users"); 

$contacts = mysql_fetch_array($query); 



if($_POST[send] != "action"  ) 

{ 

//do the form 

echo "<div align=\"center\">You can use this form to contact us.</div>"; 

echo "<p></p>"; 

echo "<div align=\"center\">"; 

echo "<form name=\"contact\" method=\"post\" action=\"modules.php?module=contact&action=send\">"; 

echo "<p>Name:"; 

echo "<input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" id=\"name\">"; 

echo "</p>"; 

echo "<p>E-Mail:"; 

echo "<input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" id=\"email\">"; 

echo "</p>"; 

echo "<p>I want to contact:"; 

echo "<select name=\"people\" id=\"people\">"; 

echo "<option>- Select One -</option>"; 

echo "<option value=".$contacts['email'].">"; 

echo $contacts['name']; 

echo "</option>"; 

echo "</select>"; 

echo "</p>"; 

echo "<p>Query:</p>"; 

echo "<p>"; 

echo "<textarea name=\"query\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"5\" id=\"query\"></textarea>"; 

echo "</p>"; 

echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"Submit\">"; 

echo "<input name="send" type="hidden" id="send" value="action">";

echo "</form>"; 

}

if($_POST[send] == "action"  ) 

{ 

$name = $_POST['name']; 

$email = $_POST['email']; 

$query = $_POST['query']; 

$to = $_POST['people']; 



$subject = $settings['subject']; 

$from = $email; 

$content = 'Name:'.$name.'\n' 

           .'E-Mail:'.$from.'\n' 

           .'Query:'.$query.'\n'; 

             

mail($to, $subject, $content, $from); 

echo $settings['thankyou']; 

} 

it's should work and it does'nt show to the user

[nd2]

if($action == $_GET['send']) // will cause error if in debug mode, since $_GET['send'] is not in the url.

doesnt make since to me, shouldent it be
if($_GET['$action'] == 'send')

thats just going of the links you gave us.
