    Mail form/ PHP problems - Help!

    Hi,

    I'm rebuilding my website (www.yourtradeagent.com) with Dreamweaver 8 My form page adress is: www.yourtradeagent.com/contact.html

    I have problems with it.

    When I test it, it says "Warning: mail() expects at most 5 parameters, 9 given in /home/xncaaer/public_html/contact.php on line 12"

    Here is my code

    contact.html (just the form)

    <form action="contact.php" method="post" name="contact_form" id="contact_form">
    <table width="414" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="table1contact">
    <tr>
    <td height="26">Your name * </td>
    <td><input name="name" type="text" id="Your name" size="35" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td height="28">Your company </td>
    <td><input name="company" type="text" id="Company" size="35" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Industry </td>
    <td><select name="industry">
    <option>Consumer Products</option>
    </select> </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td height="27">Your e-mail * </td>
    <td><input name="email" type="text" id="Your e-mail" size="35" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td height="26">Confirm your e-mail * </td>
    <td><input name="confemail" type="text" id="Confirm your e-mail" size="35" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td height="26">Your phone number </td>
    <td><input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" size="35" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="149">Preffered language </td>
    <td width="265"><select name="lang" id="lang">
    <option>English</option>
    <option>Español</option>
    <option>Fraçais</option>
    <option>Русский</option>
    </select> </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Your message * </td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td colspan="2"><textarea name="message" cols="45" rows="5" id="Your message"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td colspan="2"><input name="submit" type="submit" onclick="MM_validateForm('Your name','','R','Your e-mail','','RisEmail','Confirm your e-mail','','RisEmail','Your message','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" value=" Submit " />
    <input name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset" value=" Reset " /></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>




    contact.php

    <?php
    if (isset($_POST['submit']))
    $recipient = "info@yourtradeagent.com";
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $company = $_POST['company'];
    $industry = $_POST['industry'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $confemail = $_POST['confemail'];
    $phone = $_POST['phone'];
    $lang = $_POST['lang'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];
    mail($recipient, $name, $company, $industry, $email, $confemail, $phone, $lang, $message);
    ?>


    It's a simple script but I still can't make it work well.



    Do I have to set up testing server info in Dreamweaver, for now I've just set up the remote info (ftp, etc.). Could that be the problem?




    Sorry if it obvious. Completely new to php.



    Thank you

    The problem is you are not using the mail function correctly

    It should be

    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

    You have

    mail($recipient, $name, $company, $industry, $email, $confemail, $phone, $lang, $message);

    You need to make that something like
    $message = "Message Body:
    Name: ".$name."
    Company: ".$company."
    etc..

    ";
    mail($recipient, $subject, $message, 'From: '.$email);

    Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script

      Thank you for your prompt reply!

      I've done it again, but there is still something wrong with the message variable:

      It says Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/xncaaer/public_html/contact.php on line 5

      <?php
      if (isset($_POST['submit']))
      $to = "info@yourtradeagent.com";
      $subject = "Contact Form Feedback"
      $message = "Message Body:
      Name: ".$name."
      Company: ".$company."
      Industry: ".$industry."
      Email: ".$email."
      Confemail: ".$confemail."
      Phone: ".phone."
      Language: ".lang."
      Message: ".message."
      ";
      mail($to, $subject, $message);
      ?>

      What could it be?

      Thank you...

        Make the 5th line:

        $message = "Message Body:";

        However, since this is not the only problem here, i suggest that you use the following code:


        <?PHP
        $mailto = "youremail@yourdomain.com";
        $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
        if ($email == "") {
        $email = $mailto;
        }
        $mailsubj = "Type your mail subject here";
        $mailhead = "From: $email\n";
        reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
        $mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form :\n";
        while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
        {
        if ($key!="submit")
        {
        $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
        }
        }
        mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
        ?>
