Re: [PHP] Problem with comma in mail form

[Ben Edwards]

Here is the code with suggestion added, message still gets truncated after comma.

Ben

<?

include( "common.inc" );

$db = open_db();

html_header( "Contact Us" );

if(isset($doit))
{
$errors=array();

check_email( $email, $errors );

if(!isset ($message) || $message == '')
{
array_push($errors, "Message was empty");
}

if(sizeof($errors))
{
include($SESSION["libdir"] . "/show_errors.inc");
}
else
{

$admin_email =
"\"".lookup_domain( "PARAMETERS", "ADMIN_NAME", $db )."\" <".
lookup_domain( "PARAMETERS", "ADMIN_EMAIL", $db ).">";

if(!isset($subject)) {
$subject = "Message from email form on $SERVER_NAME";
}

table_top("Sending mail...");
table_middle();

$msg = trim( stripslashes( $_POST["message"] ) );

echo $msg;

mail( "$admin_email", "$subject", "$msg", "From: $email" );

echo "<center><span class=BigText><br><br>Your mail has been sent...<br><br>";
//echo redirect( $SESSION["homedir"]."/index.php", "Home Page", 3 );
echo "<br><br></span></center>";
table_bottom();
html_footer();
exit;
}
}

table_top("Contact Us");

//echo( "Contact Us" );

table_middle();

$admin_email = lookup_domain( "PARAMETERS", "ADMIN_EMAIL", $db );

?>

<center>
<br>
<b><span class=BigText>CultureShop.org, PO Box 29683, London E2 6XH</span></b>
<br><br><b>

<?php

table_bottom();

html_footer();

close_db( $db );

I have forms that have identical functionality, but don't exhibit that
erroneous behavior.  I can't tell what you've done to the arguments to
mail() before using them, but the only thing I do is run them through
stripslashes() and trim().  i.e. -

$message = trim( stripslashes( $_POST['message'] ) );

If that's what you do too ... weird!  If not, give it a try and see what
happens.

        g.luck & cheers!
