Hey guys,

I'm working on emailing the contents of a form using php. It worked fine,
until I turned global_variables off in an attempt to secure the form (I
still have yet to write the data validation part).
Anyway, I have an IF statement that fires depending on a hidden variable in
the form. If the
variable is empty, it loads the form. If the variable contains the hidden
value I give it during form creation, then it emails the contents on the
form and displays a thank you msg instead of displaying the form.
The problem I have run into, involves the hidden value for the form. I
didn't have to declare it before when I had global_variables turned on, but
now I have to. I searched the manual and tried statements like global
$variablename but the code wouldn't run properly. I've searched through
the newsgroups as well, but I'm new to PHP so it was tough to figure out
what to search for. I'm sure all I'm missing is one line of code. I
included my code below. The problem exists in this line:
if ($_POST['frmAction'] == formmail)
which is before where the form is created so the $frmAction variable isn't
declared yet. I'm
getting a variable not declared error, which I know, but if I declare the
variable earlier in the document, then it resets the value that I give it
before I submit the form. How do I make this work?
Thanks so very much!!

[PHP] Re: PHP Variable Declare
Now it gets more confusing.I added:
print 'pre';
print_r($_POST);
print '/pre';
to my form and the variables are displayed properly, but only generate
errors when I try to add it to fputs().any ideas?

Thanks!! That worked perfectly. Neat little function there to check if a
variable exists. Also I am set to E_ERROR ~E_NOTICE already.
The form loads correctly and then when you click submit goes to the thank
you screen. The only problem now is that it says that my variables don't
exist that I pass using the form and as a result, won't email them. When
it
gets to the code to email the results the variables like $_POST['name']
won't exist. What puzzles me is that the frmAction is passed, but none of
the textbox...etc. variables are. Do I need to add in the form name
somewhere to show where the variables are coming from?

[PHP] Re: PHP Variable Declare
it won't work the way you are doing this.
Try something like that line (changed from yours):
fputs($fd, From: .$_POST['name']. .$_POST['email'].\n);
Don't ask arrays directly in a string.
