Can anyone figure out why this code isn't working? I'm not getting any parse error messages but it's not going into my inbox.
Thanks!

A couple of things:

1. check your conditional ($qa) and check to see if it is actually being passed and the value is not null.

2. The parameter count for sprintf does not match the number of string placements you have. You show 12 %s whereas you only pass 10 $qa... vars. This will most definitely (at the least) provide a warning.

3. The mail() function is supposed to be passed as mail("email address","subject","body","additional headers&quot

;

Additional headers consists of mail headers you want passed for additional instructions to the mail server/client. You should not pass any other data here. This may also be causing you some problems.

4. Make sure you have the mail configured correctly in your php.ini file.

I tried all of the suggestions--still not working-here's the updated code, any other suggestions?

<?php

Question:

What are you using

if (!(isset($qa))){
$qa="";
} else {

for? What is the $qa used for? Are you expecting $qa to be set and still execute the sending of the email?

Here is what I did to test your snippet:

I created test values for the $qa1...$qa10 vars, then tested the script by not passing any parameters to the script (no ?qa=1), and then tested the script by passing the ?qa=something parameter.

The first test, of course, did not send mail. The second worked just find (you should have received an email at mlluberes@girls-inc.org as I was a secondary recipient and I got it just fine).

I don't know how else to help you other than the above $qa check and then there is obviously something else going on with either another section of your script or on the server itself.

I got that email as well, what I am doing is a multiple choice quiz programmed in javascript, I'm completely new to PHP, maybe it has to do with qa being an array? This is the entire code:

I appreciate your help.

First problem:

When the submit button is clicked, a new window is written to which means that you are in effect, dynamically creating a new page; the form is technically not being 'submitted' becuase you are having javascript handle everything on the client side instead of the data being sent to the server for parsing.

Second problem:

A form name (in your case 'qa') does not get passed to PHP since this is not an input value that can be passed anyway. form names are typically the same as ids thus are references only. You need to make a hidden tag to make this useable: <input type="hidden" name="qa" value="true">

Third problem:

You cannot pass a query in your action attribute within your form tag. This is not only illegal, but will not result in anything. You need to move your id to a hidden tag: <input type="hidden" name="id" value="3.1.13.txt">

Here is a simple example of you you can solve these problems:

Code:

After making the changes that you describe above I am getting the following error message:

Parse error: parse error in f:\feast/ic/page.php(257) : eval()'d code on line 1

I believe that the reason that I'm getting that message is because of our server settings, it is configured to give me a warning if I use a variable before defining it (although this is legal in php). I have resolved this issue in the past by plugging in the following code:
<?php

if (!(isset($qa))){
$qa="";

} else {

although this is not working now.

As far as my second problem, I did have the following line in the code, perhaps I deleted it briefly before I copied it to the forum:

<form name="f" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF."?id=3.1.13"; ?>" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="1">

would this serve the same purpose as the code that you provided above?

I'm really stuck here!! I've been working on this for quite awhile and its just beginning to look like a huge blur to me! I appreciate your help.

You cannot pass a parameter in the action="" attribute for your form tag!

<form name="f" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="3.1.13">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="1">
and so on....

You can use the same sample I provided above, but just define your vars before they are used:

<?php if(!isset($qa)) {
$qa = "";

.......and other stuff I put here (html, etc).

}
else {
$expl = array();
$qar = array();
$ca = array();

.......and other stuff I put here (html, etc).
}
?>
