Re: Problem with comma in mail form

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", $db ); ?> <center> <br> <b><span class=BigText>CultureShop.org, PO Box 29683, London E2 6XH</span></b> <br><br><b> To send us an email fill in this form and press submit</b><br><br> <form method="post"> <input type=hidden name=doit value=1> <b>Your Email Address:</b> <br> <input type="text" name="email" size=40 value="<? if(isset($email)) { echo $email; }

    ?>">

<br><br> <b>Subject:</b> <br> <input type=text name=subject size=40 value="<? if(isset($subject)) { echo $subject; }

    ?>">

<br><br> <b>Message:</b> <br> <textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="40"><? if(isset($message)) { echo $message; }

    ?></textarea>

<br><br> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset"> </form> <br></center> <?php table_bottom(); html_footer(); close_db( $db ); ?> At 11:47 25/12/2002 -0800, Chris Wesley wrote:

It then use mail() function to send a email. mail( $admin_email, $subject, $message, "From: $email" ); Problem is the message gets truncated if there is a comma in the message after the comma. 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!
