Re: why isn't php being parsed?

First of all, sorry to everyone... i forgot to remove the "return 
receipt" from my last mail... *blush*

The header info you get is because there was output prior to the 
"headers" manipulation (be it a session, cookie or anything else that 
uses the headers).

The resolution is fairly simple... change the php block to the top of 
the page...

The culprit is the line:

header ("Location:$thankyouURL");

Another thing that is worth something... if your smtp server works ok (some don't work 100%), the mail function returns a true value when the mail is sent correctly and a false when it can't send the mail...

You can redirect to diferent pages acording to it and in case of failure, ask for another kind of contact...

Thanks for the quick response. I tried your suggestion

and I do get an e-mail sent from the form when I test

it. The problem is, I only receive the date the form

was filled out minus any of the values. I also get the

error msg: 

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers
already sent by ...

I looked this up and added:

<?php 
   ob_start(); 

   // file content 

   ob_end_flush(); 
?> 
to my script, but I still get the error.

Hi there,

First, prolly, your file needs to be called

chair1.php instead of 
chair.html...

Second, you should add something in the lines of:

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

.... email sending code here...

}

If not, the users, when they reach the page will

send an empty form to 
the email...

Cheers,

something wrong. The name of my file is chair1.html
