As I often like to ask when people ask such not well thought out
questions: What was your first indication that it failed? Also, what
have you done in your attempts to debug it?

Your main mistake is that you've tagged your usenet message to be ignored.
Subject line should be used to provide a short description of what your
message is about; that way, when there's traffic in the group, it can call
the attention of someone who may have the knowledge to help. Also, you
cannot just paste 50 lines of code and let others figure out what your
problem is. Explain what your want to do and how your code fails to do so.
Error messages are especially helpful.
<body>
<p>
</head>
To begin with, this is not valid HTML. Check http://validator.w3.org/
<form action="email.p hp" method="POST">
$success = mail($to, $HTTP_POST_VARS["subject"],
$HTTP_POST_VARS["message"]);
$HTTP_POST_VARS is deprecated, use $_POST instead.

And filter the subject & message input so there isn't anything nasty in
it before using the submitted info. (In this case, you may want to do
something like strip_tags() on it since it's not an HTML MIME message.)
Best to get in the practice of validating/filtering input and output
from the beginning - event if it isn't necessary. It will save you a lot
of headaches down the road...

I have downloaded a tutorial learn php in 6 days. But there is an area
i don't understand. I am
told to use
<form action = "action1.ph p3" method = "POST">
but how do i asign a php variable to it so I can use the following
$success = mail($to, $subjec, $message);
Please Desmond.
The indication that it failed was there was no email sent even though
it said so. All I want to do is retreave the variables from the html
page and send an email.
this is it. I am new to php but ok on html http://www.des-otoole.co.uk/email.html
Desmond wrote: The indication that it failed was there was no email sent even though

There that wasn't that hard was it. In the future always include what
actually happened, error message, etc. - otherwise we are just guessing.
Now did you think to stop and check to make sure what you put in was
correct? By that I mean you used certain variables but were you sure
that they contained what you thought they should contain? Adding display
like debugging statements is always helpful.
All I want to do is retreave the variables from the html page and send
an email.
Yes. Break the problem down and work on a small subset of the problem.
Validate your assumptions before proceeding further. Another poster
already hinted to the probable problem. IOW verify that you are doing
"A" properly first before attempting "B". "A" here = "retrieve the
variables from the html page". Are you sure you've retrieved them properly?
Instead of plodding onward to emailing them how about simply displaying
them to make sure they are correct first. Your email.php can instead of
emailing simply write out HTML displaying the contents of what is passed
in. Once you're sure that's correct then go onward.
So instead of:
<html>
<body>
<?php
$to = "ot******@aol.c om";
$from = "desot******@ao l.com";
// $subject = "This is a test email";
// $message = "Dear Desmond,\n\n\n This is just a test email.\n\nFrom Chris.";
// $headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$success = mail($to, $HTTP_POST_VARS["subject"],
$HTTP_POST_VARS["message"]);
if ($success)
echo "The email to $to from $from was successfully sent";
else
echo "An error occurred when sending the email to $to from $from";
?>
</body>
</html>
Try:
<html>
<body>
<?php
$to = "ot******@aol.c om";
$from = "desot******@ao l.com";
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
print "subject = '$subject'<br>" ;
print "message = '$message'<br>" ;
if (mail($to, $subject], $message)) {
echo "The email to $to from $from was successfully sent";
} else {
echo "Unable to send message";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Additionally read up on the documentation about the function you are
using - mail - http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php. Also
refer to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php, especially the user
comments about specifying a proper From address.
this is it. I am new to php but ok on html
I'd say your html could use a little work too! ;-)

header('Locatio n: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST] . '/acknowledge".ht ml');
exit;
Although it does work with a relative location, I believe HTTP v1.1
requires a full URL.

Hello,
I don't know if it is only me but I was sure that header("Location:url")
redirects the browser instantly to URL, or at least stops the execution of
the code. But appearantely it continues to execute the code until the
browser send his reply to the header instruction. So an exit(); after each
redirection won't hurt at all
