I'm trying to create a form using php (I'm just learning php). I wanted to know what I should enter into the script so that when users submit the form their IPs and the current time and date are automatically logged and submited with the form.

you could try this:

<?php
$time = date("H:i");
$date = date("m-d-y");
?>

<input type="hidden" name="ipaddress" value="<?php echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"] ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="date" value="<?php echo $date ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="time" value="<?php echo $time ?>">


you can find time and date values at the php.net site (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php), so you can set those up how you like em'

hope that helps, i'm barely learning php myself.. :)

I'm not sure where your form is being sent, so here's a basic form to email...


<?
if ($submit) {
$message = "Hostname: $REMOTE_HOST\n";
$message .= "Date: " . date("m/d/y g:ia") . ":\n";
$message .= "Name: $name\n";
$message .= "Email: $email\n";
$message .= "URL: $url\n";
$mailto = "SERVER_ADMIN"; //Change to your email address if needed.
mail($mailto,"Form Submission",$message,"From: $name <$email>");
echo "Submission Sent!";
exit;
}
?>
<form action="<? echo $SCRIPT_NAME; ?>" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
URL: <input type="text" name="url"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit!">

I did a bit of editing, so this is what I have now...


if ($submit) {
$message = "Logged IP $REMOTE_ADDR \n";
$message .= "Time/Date " . date("g:ia m/d/y") . "\n";
$message .= "Name $name\n";
$message .= "Email $email\n";
$message .= "Domain $domain\n";
$message .= "Plan $plan\n";
$message .= "FrontPage $frontpage\n";
$message .= "Subdomains $subdomains\n";
$message .= "User $user\n";
$message .= "Pass $pass\n";
$message .= "Other $other\n";
$mailto = "kb@cinqq.net";
mail($mailto,"Form Output",$message,"From: $name <$email>");
echo "Submission Sent!";
exit;
}

echo "<FORM ACTION=\"$SCRIPT_NAME\" METHOD=\"post\">";
echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"name\" SIZE=\"30\">";
echo "<BR>&nbsp;<BR>";
echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME\"email\" SIZE=\"30\">";
echo "<BR>&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR>";
echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"domain\" SIZE=\"30\">";
echo "<BR>&nbsp;<BR>";
echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"plan\" SIZE=\"30\">";
echo "<BR>&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR>";
echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"frontpage\" SIZE=\"15\">";
echo "<BR><INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"subdomains\" SIZE=\"15\">";
echo "<BR>&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR>";
echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"user\" SIZE=\"30\">";
echo "<BR><INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"pass\" SIZE=\"30\">";
echo "<BR>&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR>";
echo "<TEXTAREA NAME=\"other\" ROWS=\"6\" COLS=\"40\"></TEXTAREA>";
echo "<BR>&nbsp;<BR>";
echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"Submit\">";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<INPUT TYPE=\"reset\" NAME=\"reset\" VALUE=\"Reset\">";
echo "</FORM>";


The problems...
- The email address part doesn't submit
- I get an error (even though the form submits and I recieve it)
The error says 'Object Expected'. It's not a PHP error, though. It's one of the yellow exclamation points it the bottom left-hand corner.

What can I do to fix these errors?

Thank you! :)

Also, instead of the...


echo "Submission Sent!";


What should I put there to have it redirect to another page upon submission?

Please help. I need to finish this asap.

BTW: Why did you echo every line of the form?

to get the ip address use this: $ip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");

Why do I echo every line?
Because I have too much time on my hands. :)

As far as the ip address part, I tested it and what I currently have works fine.

Header("Location: redirect_to_this.page");
