Am sooo lost right now, i cannot think - have not had sleep in 3 days...

Im trying to get a mail script going for a mate of mine at his school, ive got this PHP written so far,

Code:

<?
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
  $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
  $date = $_REQUEST['date'] ;
  $undate = $_REQUEST['undate'] ;

  mail( "MY EMAIL HERE (REMOVED DUE TO SPAMMERS)", "Feedback Form Results",
    $message, $name, $date, $undate, "From: $email" );
  header( "Location: /thankyou.html" );
?>

And ive got this HTML

Code:

<html><head><title>Feedback</title>
<center><img src="header.jpg" alt="WBHS" width="434" height="173" border="0" usemap="#logo" /> </center>
</head><body>


<center><form method="post" action="sendmail.php">
  Refers email address <input name="email" type="text" /><br />
<br>
  
Username to be locked <input name="name" type="text" /><br />
<br>
  
Date of Locking <input name="date" type="text" /><br />
<br>
  Date of Unlocking <input name="undate" type="text" /><br />
<br>
  
  Please Describe the reason for locking the account:<br />
  <textarea name="message" rows="15"  cols="40">
  </textarea><br />
  <input type="submit" />
</form></center>


</body></html>

I need it so it sends all the details that the user fills in, which are,

Refers email address
Username to be locked
Date of Locking
Date of Unlocking
Please Describe the reason for locking the account

Thanks in advance!

Try:

PHP Code:


<?php

  $youremail = "<ADD>";

  $email = $_POST['email'] ;

  $message = $_POST['message'] ;

  $name = $_POST['name'] ;

  $date = $_POST['date'] ;

  $undate = $_POST['undate'] ;

  $emailmsg = "$name sent this message to you:\r\n

$message \r\n \r\n

Locking date: '$date' \r\n

Unlocking date: '$undate'";

$headers = "From: $email";



  mail($youremail, "Feedback Form Results", $emailmsg, $headers);

  header( "Location: /thankyou.html" );

?>

Yeah, I would suggest using the POST function, it seems to be a lot more popular, therefore it is probably more efficient.

REQUEST searches both GET and POST variables. Obviously, if you know you only want POST methods then us $_POST; that said if you want to get the data from URLs the us *_GET.
