I'm working through Julie Meloni's book PHP - Fast and Easy using MS Win 98
with Apache.
She has an example of a PHP script where both the html form for input and
the php code to send the form are in one php script using the mail()
function and the $PHP_SELF global variable.
I've included the code taken form the book: allinone_form.php
and
the code that I copied from the book when I tried to breakdown and
understand the syntax which is:
allinone1211.php
Both scripts are able to send e-mail. However, in her script if the user
fails to put either their name or address or message in the boxes, they are
reminded to fill in the box in red - in addition, the email is not sent.
However, in the allinone1211.php - which was copied line for line (or so I
thought) - the email is sent even if the user has not filled in all of the
appropriate boxes without the red reminders.
If anybody has a chance could they take a look a the following code:
Thanking all in advance.
