Anybody spot the problems? I keep getting the error message "Notice: Undefined index: practiceopportunities in d:\....\contact\contact.php on line 147 or Undefined index: recruitingservices in line 146

Please help!



<?php


144 $Message .= "Phone Number: " . $_REQUEST["phone"] . "\n";

145 $Message .= "Fax: " . $_REQUEST["fax"] . "\n";

146 $Message .= "Interest: " . $_REQUEST["recruitingservices"] . "\n";

147$Message .= "Interest: " . $_REQUEST["practiceopportunities"] . "\n";
$Message .= "Others: " . $_REQUEST["comments"] . "\n";

mail("hoachen@hotmail", "Contact Form Submission", $Message) or
Die("Error Sending Mail");

echo "Your information was submitted successfully..."
?>

here is the html

<input name="recruitingservices" type="checkbox" value="I’m interested in recruiting services for my hospital, clinic, or other medical organization." >
I’m interested in recruiting services for my
hospital, clinic, or other medical organization. </p></td>

<input name="practiceopportunities" type="checkbox" value=" I’m a physician interested finding new practice opportunities" >
I’m a physician interested finding new practice
opportunities </p></

Maybe you could use post instead?
144 $Message .= "Phone Number: " . $_POST["phone"] . "\n"; etc.

It's the only thing I could think of.

Try this in your script:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); 


If that fails, you will need to set the error_reporting in your php.ini file.

Thank you for the advice I've tried it but still doesn't work!

That is not an error, but rather a notice.

It means that in the $_POST array, there is no index of recruitingservices or practiceopportunities.

Try putting this in:

PHP Code:

print "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
print "</pre>"; 


That will print out the $_POST array.

Additionally, you can do the following to "surpress" that error.

PHP Code:

if (isset($_POST["recruitingservices"]))  $Message .= "Interest: " . $_POST["recruitingservices"] . "\n";

if (isset($_POST["practiceopportunities"])) $Message .= "Interest: " . $_POST["practiceopportunities"] . "\n";

Did u uncheck the box? If u uncheck the checkbox, this variable will not be posted / sent to your PHP page, therefore u have the undefined index.

thank you Carl. I will try it when i get back to the office. One more question Inside one of my form contain a field that let user to upload they data file and submit to my specific email address which i specify in my php code. The problem is I get the all data but not the uploaded file. I used $message .= "File Upload: " ._$Post ['file_upload']. Any suggestion to fix this so that i can get data the user enter plus the attach file from the user?

Are you having trouble uploading the file? or getting the filename?

If you want to upload a file, try this.

[hoachen]

i mean already been uploaded from the form and when click on submit, php will process it and send all the data to my email. so i can view it on my mail box just like receive an email from somebody. Anybody have any advice i will very appriciated your knowledge.

[Carl V]

This is the best I could find: http://www.phpguru.org/static/mime.mail.html for dealing with attachments on the mail() command.

[hoachen]

alright, i will try see what i can get. Thanks. Have a good one

If you're trying to send email with mime attachments with PHP, I'd urge you to check out the PEAR repository. I'm quite sure someone has already written a class or three to do this. (pear.php.net).
