Hi friends
I'm newby in this business, and I'm trying get variables from a HTML form.
I tried GET and POST methods, but variables are not recognized in second PHP page, using $_GET and $_POST functions to work variables.
Into localhost work fine, but in x10 don't work
please some help
regards

Hi, if you want us to be able to help you, you'll have to show us your code (make sure to remove sensitive information like passwords, if any) and point out to the part that doesn't work. Expected behaviour and actual behaviour also help understand the issue.

A. Copy of the form sending the information
B. Copy of the script
C. How do you know they are not working?
Nothing is always absolutely so.

This can happen if you specify an incorrect form accept-charset. IE, using "UTF8" instead of "UTF-8". I think form encoding could cause the same problem, but I've never verified it.

Note that full source code isn't necessary. More helpful is a minimal code sample, just enough code to be complete and to demonstrate the issue. To describe the problem clearly, state what you expect to happen and what actually happens (including any error messages).

Hi, thanks for yours replays
This is the sending html page:
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="send_simpleform.php">
<P><strong>Su Nombre:</strong><br>
<INPUT type="text" NAME="sender_name" SIZE=30></p>
<P><strong>Su E-Mail Address:</strong><br>
<INPUT type="text" NAME="sender_email" SIZE=30></p>
<P><strong>Mensaje:</strong><br>
<TEXTAREA NAME="message" COLS=30 ROWS=5 WRAP=virtual></TEXTAREA></p>
<P><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Send This Form"></p>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
This is the receiving php page:
<?php
$msg = "ESTOS SON LOS DATOS RECIBIDOS:\n";
$msg .= "Nombre: $_post['sender_name'])\n";
$msg .= "E-Mail: $_post['sender_email']\n";
$msg .= "Mensaje: $_post['message']\n\n";
$to = "maulikan@agmr.x10.bz";
$subject = "Send test";
$mailheaders = "From: Alberto Marambio <> \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $sender_email\n\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
?>
The e-mail is sent, but don't display the data variables.
Also I tried using get method, using " instead ' and specify variable name alone, for example:
$msg .= "Nombre: $sender_name\n";
none of them is working
I'm not specifying charset
regards.

Please use the [code] tag to display code. Thanks.
Use $_POST, not $_post
Also, your HTML is incorrect. You should be using lower case tags, and you need a doctype and opening HTML tag.

Note that, when properly indented, you can see structural problems with your code.
The unclosed <input>s and use of the non-semantic <br/> should be fixed. <strong> is also misused; it's supposed to denote strong emphasis, not simply a replacement for <b>. You should be using <label> to markup input labels. If you want them to be bold, use styling.HTML Code:<BODY> <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="send_simpleform.php"> <P><strong>Su Nombre:</strong><br> <INPUT type="text" NAME="sender_name" SIZE=30></p> <P><strong>Su E-Mail Address:</strong><br> <INPUT type="text" NAME="sender_email" SIZE=30></p> <P><strong>Mensaje:</strong><br> <TEXTAREA NAME="message" COLS=30 ROWS=5 WRAP=virtual></TEXTAREA></p> <P><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Send This Form"></p> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML>
HTML Code:<html> <head> <style type="text/css"> label { font-weight: bold; display: block; } input[type='submit'] { display: block; } input[type='text'], input:not([type='submit']), textarea#message { width: 30em; } textarea#message { height: 6em; } </style> </head> <body> <form method="POST" action="send_simpleform.php"> <label for="sender_name">Su Nombre:</label> <input id="sender_name" name="sender_name" /> <label for="sender_email">Su E-Mail Address:</label> <input id="sender_email" name="sender_email" /> <label for="message">Mensaje:</label> <textarea id="message" name="message" wrap="virtual"></textarea> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="send this form" /> </form> </body> </html>Unlike function and class names, variable names are case sensitive. $_post is a different variable from $_POST.PHP Code:<?php
$msg = "ESTOS SON LOS DATOS RECIBIDOS:\n";
$msg .= "Nombre: $_post['sender_name'])\n";
With heredocs, you can readily create multiline strings (though it should be noted that quoted strings can also span multiple lines).
PHP Code:<?php
if ("\n" == "\x0D\x0A") {
$eol = '';
} else {
$eol = "\r";
}
$to = "maulikan@agmr.x10.bz";
$subject = "Send test";
$mailheaders =<<<EOS
From: Alberto Marambio <> $eol
Reply-To: $sender_email$eol
$eol
EOS;
$msg =<<<EOS
ESTOS SON LOS DATOS RECIBIDOS:$eol
Nombre: $_POST[sender_name]$eol
E-Mail: $_POST[sender_email]$eol
Mensaje: $_POST[message]$eol
$eol
EOS;
if (mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders)):
// very basic error handling. More should be done.
?>
<p class="error">Message sent.</p>
<?php else: ?>
<p class="error">I couldn't send your message. Please try again later.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

Isn't that justPHP Code:<?php
if ("\n" == "\x0D\x0A") {
$eol = '';
} else {
$eol = "\r";
}?PHP Code:$eol = PHP_EOL;
