Hello,

As mainly a designer w/ HTML and JS php is usually just an end of site
add on to process forms and I LOVE php!

I've been away from PHP coding for about a month and I can't figure out
what I'm forgetting here is partial of the form, the php handler, and
the final email I get. If you see some syntax I'm botching let me know
please.

<form action="../php/dc_rif_handler.php" method="post">
<select name="title">
<option selected>Title...</option>
<option>Mr.</option>
<option>Ms.</option>
<option>Mrs.</option>
</select>
</td></tr>

<tr><td align="right"><font color="330000"><b>*First Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="fname" size="48"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right"><font color="330000"><b>*Last Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="lname" size="48"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right"><font color="330000"><b>*Mailing Address:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="m_address" size="48"></td></tr>

<tr><td align="right"><font color="330000"><b>*City, State, Zip:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="city_state_zip" size="48"></td></tr>
......

THE PHP HANDLER...

Your form has been proccessed and sent to ...
<?php

$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ;
$subject = "A Dale Commons web site visitor is requesting information!";

$message_raw = "My name is $fname, $lname
\r$r1a, $r2a, $r3a\r$r1b\rhere is my contact information:\r$title,
$fname, $lname, \r$m_address,\r$city_state_zip,\rPhone Number:
$phone\rFax: $fax\rThe best time to call is $time_to_call\rMy email
address is $e_address";

$message_stripped = stripslashes($message_raw);

mail ($to, $subject, $message_stripped, "From:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" );
?>

AND FINALLY THE SENSELESS EMAIL I GET AT THE END...

My name is ,

, ,
I am looking for a loved one.
here is my contact information:
, , ,
,
,
Phone Number:
Fax:
The best time to call is
My email address is

......


What in the world? Did I forget everything PHP taught me? What the heck
are those weird commas from and I could swear a form element named
"xname"  is called in php via $xname   ???

Please let me know what you see,
-Marcus

PS, I just ran phpinfo(); on my server and it looks like all the others
that work.
