Hi guys, Im trying to make a simple php order form for my site.
I've followed a tutorial I found on google code below. The form is sending but coming to my email box titled ***SPAM*** with a user as <> and no content inside.

Can anyone have a look at my poor attempt at a form and let me no where im going wrong please?

form
Code:
  <table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td><strong>Order Form </strong></td>
</tr>
</table>

<table width="300" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td><form name="form1" method="post" action="send_10things.php">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td width="16%">Name</td>
<td width="2%">:</td>
<td width="82%"><input name="subject" type="text" id="subject" size="47"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><textarea name="detail" cols="37" rows="4" id="detail"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="47"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tel:</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="customer_mail" type="text" id="customer_mail" size="47"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td align="right"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

send_10things.php
Code:
<?php
// Contact subject
$subject ="$subject"; 
// Details
$message="$detail";

// Mail of sender
$mail_from="$customer_mail"; 
// From 
$header="from: $name <$mail_from>";

// Enter your email address
$to ='my email';

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

// Check, if message sent to your email 
// display message "We've recived your information"
if($send_contact){
echo "We've recived your contact information";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>
 
Try adding $customer_mail = $_GET['customer_mail']; to your send_10things.php and change your form method to get instead of post.

It might work, it might not ;)

what line do I add it to and what do i replace it with if anything ?:confused:
Sorry never created any real php before
 
@ A.N.Other tried the code you supplied me last night, I'm not sure if you gave me the correct code IF even if I put the code in the right place, any chance if you get time today you'd be kind enough to help me ?

You also mention my code is extremely vulnerable to header injections(not that I'm aware what these are) how would one go about closing that issue ?
