Need help to get form fields after mail sent

Hi,

I am trying to get field values in section "On Submit code - after sending email:" I tried following ways

 
$fname=$_POST['firstName'];  
$fname=$_POST[firstName];  
$fname=$_REQUEST['firstName'];  

and then send mail using following code, i tried three of the above ways to get field

$title=$_POST['title'];
$fname=$_POST['firstName'];
$lname=$_POST['lastName'];
$eMail=$_POST['email'];

$msg="Dear $title $fname $lname, \n\n
......
.....

Thank you,\n
with kind regards\n
...";

$from="me@mysite.~~~";
$fromname="Sachin";

$subj="Thank you";
JUtility::sendMail($from, $fromname, $eMail, $subj, $msg, true);

but in noway its sending mail which i intend to send so that i can alert whenever someone submits form it can be confirmed to the email id whom is used.

Hope to get some reply/help from someone,
Thanks

Hi Sachin,

The code in your second box looks OK. Exactly what isn't working?? Is $msg not created correctly? Is the email not sent?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply,

Yes $msg is completely configured well and ok, but it seems like the system doesnt process the code of second box at all. and i need to send thanking mail with alerting to the email address of form submitter.

Hi Sachin,

Try using this code to get an error message from sendMail

$email_sent = JUtility::sendMail($from, $fromname, $eMail, $subj, $msg, true); 

        if ( $debug ) {
            if ( $email_sent )
                echo "Email sent ";
            if ( ! $email_sent )
                echo "Email not sent<br />";
                echo $email_sent;
        }

I think in Joomal 1.5 $email_sent will have an error message and not just 'false'

Hi Bob,

That also didnt work but i figured out the problem,

When i was adding Form URL to redirect after submission of the form it wasnt processing the code for mail which i wanted.

So i removed Form URL and kept it blank, then below my code i just put line of redirection where i wished to redirect user after submission.

Code for redirect i put ...

$mainframe->redirect('thankyou.html');

And now its working well..🙂

Thanks for your great help and instant replies of the message
