Hi !

I just think it will work on new PHP version (what version anyway?)

I've read the PHP book and it told me: if I named the form field like this

<input type=text name=email>

when I submit the form to go to next page then the value data of "email" filed will hold inside $email

I tried it on my server and it worked - I think PHP so easy to work with Form.

And now, I just finished my first Form Mail PHP program and tried to install it on my friends website (was hosted somewhere else) - The bad thing happen: my program doesn't work right.

I think the hosting company is runing the old PHP version - thats why $email can't hold the data.

What should I do now? Please help me

Thanks !
Kevin

try using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ... maybe that will work.

Thanks for quick respond! Yes, it works

Then how about $email thing? HOw to pass data when I submit the form -

Regards!

In your script add the line:

Code:

$email = $_REQUEST['email'];

and try it again.

or you should preferably use $_GET['email'] or $_POST['email'] depending on the method of the form.

[KeithMcL]

That's actually why I said $_REQUEST, because I didn't know the post method

Either should work.

[Stefan]

yeha, I already thought that, but I thought I'd mention the other options as well as it enhances security by just a bit and makes the code easier to understand because you know where it came from

True

Wonder if Kevin ever got it to work!
