The last time I checked, formmail was a perl script, not a PHP script.

Anyway, it's very difficult to advise you by only examining the frontend.

source code. the one what works is without the php code

<html> <head> <title>Form Mail</title> </head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi/formmail">

<?php
include 'broker/dbconnection.php';
$query = "select * from brokers where custom_id = 'tdong'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="<? echo $row['email']; ?>">

<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Form Mail Results">

<input type=hidden name="required" value="fullname,email">

<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="/cgi/formmail">

Name<br><input type=text name="fullname"><br>

Email<br> <input type=text name="email"><br>

<br> Comments<br> <textarea name="comments"></textarea> <br>

<br> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

</form>

</body> </html>

As an aside, you're running a very old version of formmail. The author strongly recommends upgrading to the new version, 1.91, because it plugs several spam-related security holes.

I'm also not sure why you're using formmail at all. PHP can send mail, too.


I see only three differences in the output: two instances where one output has blank lines and the other does not and a missing hidden form field. The only thing I see that is significant is the hidden form field.
