Hi All,
Am fairly new to PHP but managed to successfully complete a form and all works well!
However, using similar code on another site the form goes through to a dynamic page and sends email back all correctly and has the titles of the textfields ready to have the values the user inputs next to ...but there are no values from any of the textfields???

Here is the PHP code if anyone can give me a simple answer as to what i am missing....?

<?php
$name = $_POST['Name'];
$company = $_POST['Company'];
$email = $_POST['Email'];
$tel = $_POST['Tel'];
$otherpages = $_POST['Other Pages'];
$otherform = $_POST['Other Forms'];
$addition = $_POST['Additional Info'];
 
 
# Email to Form Owner
 
$emailTo = '"Picture Perfect" <info@pictureperfectireland.com>';
 
$emailSubject = "Web Enquiry";
 
$emailFrom = "$Email";
 
$emailBody = "name: $name\n"
. "company: $company\n"
. "email: $email\n"
. "tel: $tel\n"
. "otherpages: $otherpages\n"
. "otherform: $otherform\n"
. "addition: $addition\n"
. "\n"
. "";
 
$emailHeader = "From: $emailFrom\n"
. "Reply-To: $emailFrom\n"
. "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
. "Content-type: text/plain; charset=\"ISO-8859-1\"\n"
. "Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable\n";
 
mail($emailTo, $emailSubject, $emailBody, $emailHeader);
 
?>

I don't know why I am doing this...

I m also new to PHP.

make sure that there is not any kind of redirection involved.
coz post data doesn't go with the form during redirection.

also make sure that the server where the new site is hosted supports $_POST .

maybe this could help.

and where r ur input tags...?

u can mail me at purecollection@hotmail.com for any query.

What are you using for the form? I don't see any <form> tags.
