Just having some issues with this form that will be used to send contact e-mails.

Here is my form.

    <div id="popupContact">  
        <a id="popupContactClose">x</a>  
        <h1>Contact an Advisor</h1>  
        <p id="contactArea">  
       <form action="http://www.chspanthers.org/studentlife/popup_files/send_mail.php" method="post" name="form 1">
       <!-------------------------LINE 1 ------------------------->
       Select who you want the e-mail to go to: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Enter your contact e-mail:<br>

       </form>
    </div>  
    <div id="backgroundPopup"></div>

And here's my php.

PHP Code:

<?php
$reciever = $_REQUEST['reciever'];
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['sender'];
$type = $_REQUEST['type'];
$messagetext = $_REQUEST['says'];


$subject = $name . "clubs" ;
$message = "This is an e-mail sent from the clubs and organisations page on the CHS website. The form was created by Ryan Pointer. If you have any questions, please contact him.(me)
From: {$name} 
E-mail: {$email}
Type: {$type}
message: {$messagetext}";

if(mail($reciever, $subject, $message, "From:" . $email . PHP_EOL)){
    echo 'Hello $name Thank you for filling out my mail form<br> An e-mail has' ;
    echo 'been dispatched to the advisor and they will reply shortly to your e-mail, $email ';
    echo 'Have a nice day <br>';
}else{
    echo 'There has been an internal server error. Please try again later.';
} 
?>

Not really sure what's wrong. Anything helps.

The page I'm working with is:

http://www.chspanthers.org/studentli...r_testing.html


Clicking on the first advisors name will trigger the form.

Can you give the address of the website with the form?
To start, I would try changing the following on the file with PHP code:

PHP Code:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['reciever'])) 
    $reciever = $_POST['reciever'];
else $reciever = "No data";

if (isset($_POST['name'])) 
    $name = $_POST['name'];
else $name = "No data";

if (isset($_POST['sender'])) 
    $email = $_POST['sender'];
else $email = "No data";

if (isset($_POST['type'])) 
    $type = $_POST['type'];
else $type = "No data";

if (isset($_POST['says'])) 
    $messagetext = $_POST['says'];
else $messagetext = "No data";


$subject = $name . "clubs" ;
$message = "This is an e-mail sent from the clubs and organisations page on the CHS website. The form was created by Ryan Pointer. If you have any questions, please contact him.(me)
From: {$name} 
E-mail: {$email}
Type: {$type}
message: {$messagetext}";

if(mail($reciever, $subject, $message, "From:" . $email . PHP_EOL)){
    echo 'Hello $name Thank you for filling out my mail form<br> An e-mail has' ;
    echo 'been dispatched to the advisor and they will reply shortly to your e-mail, $email ';
    echo 'Have a nice day <br>';
}else{
    echo 'There has been an internal server error. Please try again later.';
} 
?>

The site is http://www.chspanthers.org/studentli...r_testing.html

It is in a jquery popup. Click the first advisor to trigger the popup.

For the most part, the form isn't even submitting. I've tried submitting the form using javascript but even that doesn't work.

For instance, usually i would use a general submit button.

[HTML]<input name="submit" type="button" value="Send e-mail" class="button">[HTML]

But then i tried js.

so....

<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform()
{
document.forms["myform"].submit();
}
</script>

And then <a href="javascript: submitform()">Submit</a>


I'm sure the php works, i've used it many times before. Even so, I implemented what you have posted. The form just won't submit.

The form is sent by pressing the button because we got to the "send_mail.php".

Would have to see what data is coming from the form.
Try adding the following lines at the beginning of the file "send_mail.php" (just for testing):

PHP Code:

echo "<p>Content POST:</p> ";
print_r($_POST);
echo "<p>Content REQUEST:</p> ";
print_r($_REQUEST);
