[yachile]

hi, hope if someone can help me, my conact form works and i receive the mail, but it shows me just the email and phone
this is a test:

Email = [e-mail]
Name =
Phone = 06 09 56 89 45
Message = Email = [e-mail]
Name =
Phone = 06 09 56 89 45

form code is from page html, and the 2nd code is the php page

<form action="#" method="post" id="cform" name="cform">
              <ul id="homehireus" class="hireform contactform">
                <li>
                  <label>Name:<span class="required">*</span></label>
                  <input name="name" id="name" type="text" value="" tabindex="1">
                </li>
                <li>
                  <label>Phone:</label>
                  <input name="phone" id="phone" type="text" value="" tabindex="3">
                </li>
                <li>
                  <label>Email:<span class="required">*</span></label>
                  <input name="email" id="email" type="text" value="" tabindex="2">

send_email($fname,$email,$phone,$subject,$message);

You are using $fname instead of $name, that's the first thing I see that might go wrong. And where is the textarea/input in your form with the name "message"? Can it even get set? :o

[yachile]

i fixed the name now, but for the message it shows me "Message = Email = [e-mail]", but dont show me the my message

[minitauros]

What is the name if the <input> element in your form in which the message is typed? Has it been named correctly? Is its name attribute really set to "message", so that $_POST['message'] actually contains a value?

E.g. do you have something like:

<input name="message"> or <textarea name="message"></textarea>?

[yachile]

it's <textarea name="message"></textarea>

[minitauros]

Sorry for the late reply! It could be that this if-else is triggered:

if($message=='message')$message='';

Have you checked the values of your variables before you execute your send_email() function?

For example, try this:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];

$return_array = validate($name,$email,$phone,$message,$subject);


// Let's see what's in our variables:
echo '<p>Our POST variables look like this:</p><pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>';

echo '<p>Our other variables look like this:</p>';
echo '<p>';
echo '$name: ' . $name . '<br>';
echo '$phone: ' . $phone . '<br>';
echo '$email: ' . $email . '<br>';
echo '$message: ' . $message . '<br>';
echo '$subject: ' . $subject . '<br>';
echo '</p>';

echo '<p>We\'re assuming that everything is correct, so an email will now be sent..</p>';


if($return_array['success'] == '1')
{
    send_email($name,$email,$phone,$subject,$message);
}

What exactly is it that you're asking? Are you asking how you can use this code? Or how to build a contact form? Or..? :)
