Form

My boss is wanting me to do a form and I know just enough php to be dangerous since I'm just starting to learn.
I have a html form and a php processor in separate files.
When I fill out the form online and hit submit it redirects me, pulls up the thank you screen, and sends the email just like it should.
However it will not put the information from the form into the email. So I end up with a blank email with nothing but a subject.

Any thoughts?
The html can be seen on http://www.razorbacksrealestate.com/con ... mpage.html

Here is the php

Code: Select all

<?php
ini_set("SMTP","maila26.webcontrolcenter.com");
ini_set("smtp_port","8889");
ini_set("sendmail_from","razorback@razorbacksrealestate.com");
 
/* Subject and Email Variables */
 
    $emailSubject = 'Big Test';
    $webMaster = 'jonathan@bdglr.com';
    
/* Gathering Data Variables */
 
    $emailField = $_POST['email'];
    $nameField = $_POST['name'];
    $phoneField = $_POST['phone'];
    $budgetField = $_POST['budget'];
    $travelersField = $_POST['travelers'];
    $commentsField = $_POST['comments'];
    $newsletterField = $_POST['newsletter'];
    
    $body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Email: $email <br>
Name: $name <br>
Phone Number: $phone <br>
Budget: $budget <br>
Number of Travelers: $travelers <br>
Comments: $comments <br>
Newsletter: $newsletter <br>
EOD;
 
    $headers = "From: $email\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
    $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
    
/* Results Rendered as HTML */
 
    $theResults = <<<EOD
<html>
<head>
<title>JakesWorks - travel made easy-Homepage</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
    background-color: #f1f1f1;
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #666666;
    text-decoration: none;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
 
<div>
  <div align="left">Thank you for your interest! Your email will be answered very soon!</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EOD;
echo "$theResults";
 
?>

You're creating a variable called $emailField, and assigning it a value. Then, in the email, you're calling up a completely different variable called $email. This won't work.

Use the variable names that you created and assigned the POST values.

Code: Select all

# /* Gathering Data Variables */
 
     $emailField = $_POST['email'];
     $nameField = $_POST['name'];
     $phoneField = $_POST['phone'];
     $budgetField = $_POST['budget'];
     $travelersField = $_POST['travelers'];
     $commentsField = $_POST['comments'];
     $newsletterField = $_POST['newsletter'];
    
     $body = <<<EOD
 <br><hr><br>
 Email: $emailField <br>
 Name: $nameField <br>
 Phone Number: $phoneField <br>
 Budget: $budgetField <br>
 Number of Travelers: $travelersField <br>
 Comments: $commentsField <br>
 Newsletter: $newsletterField <br>
