As the title might suggest, I'm not so hot with PHP, and have decided to try use a PHP contact form on my brother in laws site, I can confirm this to be true.

As it stands, the Form is posting, but only one variable seems to be sent correctly from the form to the PHP mailing code, so all I see in the test emails are:

Name:

Email Address:

Phone Number:

Subject: The subject is working...

Message:

The code was taken from a basic enough example on a website. Here is the form table:

And here is the 'send-email.php'

As I said.. the 'subject' field is the only one that works, so I'd love to hear how dopey im being

Thanks a lot guys.

In line 16 the variable for the Full Name field is set to $name

$name = $_POST['fullname']; // required

In line 29 you validate $name

   if(!preg_match($string_exp,$name)) {

However in line 47 you use $fullname

    $email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($fullname)."\n";

Try using

    $email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($name)."\n";

as line 47

thank you! solved it! got my wires crossed a bit. thanks again chief!

No probs. Glad it was an easy one.

 

Actually it is quite a simple yet common error to make and I dare say we've all done it and will continue to do it now and again.

Guilty! I find I end up writing down the form field names whilst developing helps prevent this sort of thing
