Re: Please Read! php problem.

php forms can be self processing, its easy to debug one script, try

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<?php if (isset($_POST["submit"])) 	{
  if(!$_POST['name'] || !$_POST['email'] || !$_POST['question'] )     
  { echo "Required fields not completed, please input the required fields."; }
 else { $name = $_POST['name'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $question = $_POST['question'];
  $message = wordwrap("Message from $name \n Message: $question", 70);
  if(!mail($email,"Inquiry",$message)) {echo "Sending failed, please input the required fields."; } else echo "Message sent.";
 } } ?>
<form name='FAQ' method='post' action='<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>'>

</form>

</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

but the message is only being sent to the sender, no address is specified for you
Try replacing line 16

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 if(!mail('myaddress@mysite.com',"Inquiry",$message,"Cc:$email\r\n")) {echo "Sending failed, please input the required fields."; } else echo "Message sent.";
 if(!mail('myaddress@mysite.com',"Inquiry",$message,"Cc:$email\r\n")) {echo "Sending failed, please input the required fields."; } else echo "Message sent.";

message to "customer service", copy to sender
all necessary html headers are sent before any script output, in case malformed pages are being thrown out by the server,

this is what i did in the .php file, i omitted the contents and i just replaced it with this statement but still no output:
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
   echo "Me.";
?>
<?php echo "Me."; ?>
what do u think is causing the problem?

Re: Please Read! php problem.

this is a better line16

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if(!mail('me@mysite.com',"Inquiry","$message","From: $email " . "\r\n" . "Cc: $email"."\r\n")) {echo "Sending failed,"; } else { echo "Message sent."; }
if(!mail('me@mysite.com',"Inquiry","$message","From: $email " . "\r\n" . "Cc: $email"."\r\n")) {echo "Sending failed,"; } else { echo "Message sent."; }

		} else {
		"Message was NOT Sent.";
		die();
		}
	}
	else {

	    <tr>

This worked on my server. Tested!

Re: Please Read! php problem.

Hi there almostbob, thanks for the quick response.. well actually i'm still having a problem with one line that you've give which is in line 18 stating:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<form name='FAQ' method='post' action='<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>'>
<form name='FAQ' method='post' action='<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>'>

The problem is in the action='<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>'
Once that i click the Submit button a "Page Load Error" occurs saying

"Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Documents and Settings/rEd_xiii21/Desktop/programming/ERDI Website Final/Duplicate of Edited Site/<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>."

What does the code - action='<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>' - actually do?

Thanks for your time.

I can assure that the code that this guys have given are all working. Your code even works, it prints "ME" after i click the submit button.

Have you put your files in the WWW directory?? in wamp by default, it is located here C:\wamp\www\

then try accessing it like this

http://localhost/E-FAQ.html

Re: Please Read! php problem.

you are trying to run php from the local file system /C:/Documents and Settings/rEd_xiii21/Desktop/programming/ERDI Website Final/Duplicate of Edited Site/
that wont work, even if it is the same folder
php has to run as http://127.0.0.1/filepath/filename.php (or localhost/)
move all the files you wish to work on, below the folder assigned as localhost in your php/wamp/IDE settings and access them though the localhost url
I do not know what php system version/wamp/ide you have installed but the errors now seem to be simply method problems, but a solution is getting closer (nervous fingers crossed)
