$name = $_FILES['fileField']['name'];
$uploaddir = ‘files/’;
$uploaddir = $uploaddir . $name;
$uploadfile = $name_updated;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir);

this coding does not works. i added enctype=”multipart/form-data” in the form still not working

It should read something like:

To make the ‘name’ and ‘email’ dynamic you would use something like

ThankYou.html?name= $name &email= $email

Have to use PHP echo statement for $name and $email

(system stripped my php comments)

Answer:
mail($to, $subject, $body) is what actually sends the mail message.
$_POST["email"]; is what gets the email address from the submitted form.

@Ray D – I ‘m trying to take the $name from the contact form
and not only email it back to me ( which i’ve done already) but have appear as text in another ThankYou.html file that will be called by the sendmail.php file.

Answer: With PHP you cannot pass variables between pages directly. Any variables used and information stored in them will be cleared and lost when you leave the current page. There are 2 ways you could pass the information:
(1) You can store the information in the session and retrieve it in the next page using Something like:

$_SESSION['name'] = $name;

which will store the variable contents in the session and then you can retrieve it from any page using

$variable = $_SESSION['name'];

Of course you have to have a session started before you can use this method.

or

(2) you can pass the information as part of the HTML URL similar to:

ThankYou.html?name=name&email=email

To make the ‘name’ and ‘email’ dynamic you would use something like

ThankYou.html?name=&email=

Change the $name and $email to whatever variables you use for them in your script. This will print the $name and $email variable contents directly into the HTML URL

Then you get the information on the ThankYou.html page (right at the top) by

$name = $_GET['name'];
$email = $_GET['email'];

I personally prefer method 1 as method 2 is open to security issues as anyone could change the name and email values by simply typing them into the URL. Plus Method 1 allows you to store and use that information anywhere in the website. Once you are done with the information in the session you can clear it by:

unset ($_SESSION['name']);
Which clears that session variable but leaves your session in tact

But not workig!

My question is how can i submit ONLY the actual characters that are input. in the above example all i would like to receive would be “1″ (without the quotes as that is what i put in the box). Is this possible? i have a terminal app on the other end that is expecting only one ascii character…

my code is

JQuery Form Example

$(document).ready(function(){
$(“#myform”).validate({
debug: false,
rules: {
name: “required”,
vdo: “required”,
},
messages: {
name: “Please give the title of image”,
vdo: “Please select the image”,
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
// do other stuff for a valid form
$.post(‘form.php’, $(“#myform”).serialize(), function(data) {
$(‘#results’).html(data);
});
}
});
});

label.error { width: 250px; display: inline; color: red;}

Title

Image

<?php
/*
Here's where you want PHP to process the form data and do something with it, for example inserting the data into a database or sending the information to an email address and so on
*/

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

$banner_image= $_FILES['vdo']; // file name in the form

$banner_file= $_FILES['vdo']['name'];

$img_name="";

$info = pathinfo($banner_file);

$ext2 = strtolower($info['extension']);

$b = uniqid(rand (),true);
$img_nameb ="image".$b.".". $ext2;

$nadd3="upload/".$img_nameb; // banner_images is actually the folder name where the image is placed

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['vdo']['tmp_name'], $nadd3);

print "Form submitted successfully: Your name is “.$_POST['name'].” image path “.$nadd3.”“;

}
?>

I ‘m trying to take the $name from the contact form
and not only email it back to me ( which i’ve done already) but have appear as text in another ThankYou.html file that will be called by the sendmail.php file. Thus i can’t ONLY use . So basicly i’m trying to get all the Input field from the Form.php page to the sendmail.php and if all is validated and correct , then send an email with the data AND also take the $name from the form and display on the thankyou html page .

Again, all is working except the last step displaying the name on the ThankYou.html page.
