PHP mail form - content string not working :(

hi.

using php, and more than 5 variables, i am trying to email a form when submitted on a website. i read on another forum the best way to do this is concatenate the content and pass in mail() as one variable. however, when i use the following code, i only get partial results... see below.

////////////
//my code:
////////////

<?php

$to="test@test.com";
$from="my_website";

$company = $_REQUEST['company'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

$content = "Company: " . $_REQUEST["company"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content = "Name: " . $_REQUEST["name"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Address 1: " . $_REQUEST["address"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Address 2: " . $_REQUEST["address2"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content = "Phone: " . $_REQUEST["phone"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content = "Email: " . $_REQUEST["email"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content = "Fax: " . $_REQUEST["fax"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Message:\r\n" . $_REQUEST["message"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";

if (empty($company) || empty($name) || empty($phone) || empty($email))
{
header( "Location: http://www.test.com/error.html" );
}
else
{
mail( $to, $from, "my emailed form", $content );
header( "Location: http://www.test.com/thankyou.html" );
}
?>

You are missing the "." on some of your lines where you use .=

-Erik

 

awwwwwwwwwwww... shoot.

i guess i was off with the ".=" on this part..

$content = "Company: " . $_REQUEST["company"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content = "Name: " . $_REQUEST["name"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Address 1: " . $_REQUEST["address"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Address 2: " . $_REQUEST["address2"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content = "Phone: " . $_REQUEST["phone"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content = "Email: " . $_REQUEST["email"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content = "Fax: " . $_REQUEST["fax"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Message:\r\n" . $_REQUEST["message"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";

i changed it to the below and now it works...

$content = "\r\n------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Company: " . $_REQUEST["company"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Name: " . $_REQUEST["name"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Address 1: " . $_REQUEST["address"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Address 2: " . $_REQUEST["address2"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Phone: " . $_REQUEST["phone"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Email: " . $_REQUEST["email"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Fax: " . $_REQUEST["fax"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";
$content .= "Message:\r\n" . $_REQUEST["message"] . "\r\n";
$content .= "------------------------------------\r\n";

 

Thank You!!

 

also...

how do i protect myself from email spammers??

 

This site talks about Email Injection attacks with PHP and provides examples on how to sanitize the input before passing it to the mail function.

 

i think you need a little change in code

if (conditions)
{
redirection to error page
}
else
{
initialise variables
your "$content = " code
mail function
redirection to Thank u page
}


what do you say??

 

you can also use the image varification to stop the spammers
