There's no need to be doing all of the array manipulation. Just use the variables in
the array. Also turn off magic_quotes_gpc in a .htaccess file so that you don't have
to strip slashes.
<?php
If ('GET' == $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD']) {
$MailToAddress = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$MailSubject = 'Get Involved List';
?>
<form here>
<?php
exit;
}
?>
<?
If ('POST' == $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD']) {
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['email'])) {
$MailFromAddress = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email']; // I'm assuming the vars were posted
from a form
} else {
$MailFromAddress = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; // vars don't expand in single quotes, but
we don't have any here.
}
$Message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Message']; // should single quote associative array
indexes
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['Header'])) {
$Message = "{$HTTP_POST_VARS['Header']}\n\n$Message"; // need to wrap arrays in
double quotes in {} to parse
}
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['Footer'])) {
$Message .= "\n\n{$HTTP_POST_VARS['Footer']}";
}
mail($MailToAddress,$MailSubject,$Message,$MailFromAddress); // don't have to quote
vars on parms
}
?>
