Hello all.
I am making a contact form
Everything works except the autoresponder (at bottom of code) to the person who fills the form out.
The email gets sent...but no message appears.
Could someone please have a look at the script?
Thank you

<? 
// keep people from accessing this page directly 
if (eregi('contact.php', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) { 
// go to index page 
header('Location: ../index.html'); 
die(); 
} 

?>
<?php
echo "* Denotes required fields. <br />";

// put your email here
$send_to = "me@mysite";

// This is what is displayed in the email subject line
$subject = "Message from mysite.com";

// This is displayed if all the fields are not filled in
$empty_fields_message = "<p>Please <a href='contact.php'>go back</a> and complete all the fields in the form!</p>";

// This is displayed when the email has been sent
$thankyou_message = "<p>Thank you. Your message has been sent! =)<br /><br /><a href='../index.html'><< Back to Main</a></p>";

// set up info
$nowDay=date("m.d.Y");
$nowClock=date("H:i:s");
$http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" );

// You do not need to edit below this line

$name = stripslashes($_POST['txtName']);
$email = stripslashes($_POST['txtEmail']);
$phone = stripslashes($_POST['txtPhone']);
$message = stripslashes($_POST['txtMessage']);

if (!isset($_POST['txtName'])) {

?>

Problem fixed.

I forgot a semi-colon after the $replymessage.

i know you finished this but i was just reading through your code there and it seems as though if your accessing contact.php directly, you get a redirection but then when a person does not fill in all the fields, you send them directly to contact.php..wouldnt that give them an error?

[Hooch]

Hey Millertime.
The file itself is called contact.php..so it's just going back to itself.
That works fine. But the problem is all the fields are empty when you go back.

This is not my code..I found it on the net a few months back. I always keep the authors info, but this one
doesn't have any
I am no coder..I just learn what I need to. I can cut and paste with the best of them.
This is an awsome contact form (for my needs) I just need to find out how to keep the existing info to
stay if the user doesn't fill out the all the fields.

Any solutions?? Anyone??

Thank you..Hooch
PS that's one awsome upload script you have Miller.

[MillerTime]

hmm..you can trying using $_GET..but that would leave one heck of an url

[coolaid]

the obvious way is to use an if else statement....

<?
if(isset($submit)){
   if(strlen($var) <= "0"){
?>
<html>
full webpage..... WITH error message and using value="<? echo $_POST['var']; ?>" in the input fields...
</html>
<?
   }
   else{
	// proccesssing data
   }
}
else{
// echo form data
}
?>

i'd try to implement it into the script your using but thats one hell of a long script.. im not about to tweak it
