Hi!

I'm trying to get customer information through an html form (text field) to my e-mail, but all I get is empty e-mails. I've checked the variables. The variables are taken from the html and are used in php script, both in lowercase format.

Here's my script:

<?php
$firstname = HTMLSpecialChars($firstname);
$lastname = HTMLSpecialChars($lastname);
$email = HTMLSpecialChars($email);
$address = HTMLSpecialChars($address);
$city = HTMLSpecialChars($city);
$zipcode = HTMLSpecialChars($zipcode);
$phone = HTMLSpecialChars($phone);
$textarea = HTMLSpecialChars($textarea);

$email = strtolower($email);

$mail_to = "[email protected]";
$mail_subject = "Customer info";
$mail_body = "$firstname \n";
$mail_body .= "$lastname\n";
$mail_body .= "$email \n";
$mail_body .= "$address \n";
$mail_body .= "$city \n";
$mail_body .= "$zipcode \n";
$mail_body .= "$phone \n";
$mail_body .= "$textarea \n";
if (mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_body))
        echo "Success. Thank you!";
        else echo "No success. Return and try again. Thank you!";
?>

Please help me solve this.

Thanx many times,

Teo

What's your register_globals set to?

Hi Nik,

It's set to On (rebooted). I've read that register_globals = On should be avoided, if possible, for security reasons. Is there then another way to use HTML->PHP variables?

(I still didn't figure out why are the e-mails empty. The script couldn't be simpler. Maybe that's the problem :)).

Many thanx,

Teo

Nik, one more thing,

I have set IIS on my computer. As you know IIS has a SMTP local server. When I use the same script and send it to localhost, I get everything working and with no problems. I have also tried to change php.ini [mail_function] SMTP = my outgoing mail server provider. Before it was set to SMTP = localhost, but guess what, nothing happend. Why is it that I get email on my local server, and not when I upload it to a internet server?

Again, thank you. You are a big help!
