Hi,

I built an iPhone e-mail screen in MobiOne using .php code to process the e-mail.

In MobiOne’s design window screen I have the “Form” box checked, “Form Action Type” set to URL, “Form Action URL” set to email.php, “Form Method” set to Post, and “Form Result Type” set to <None>.

Question is: Why is it not sending an e-mail to me? When I click the “Send” button, a message “Loading…” will flicker a fraction of a second and nothing happens. There is no e-mail sent. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

My textbox on the screen and my email.php are defined as follows:

textbox “nameField”
textbox “emailField”
textbox “messageArea”

$yourEmail = “rob@volleyhollix.com”;
$email = $_REQUEST[’emailField’] ;
$name = $_REQUEST[‘nameField’] ;
$subject = “Mobile Form Contact” ;
$message = $_REQUEST[‘messageArea’] ;
$message1 = “From:” . ‘ ‘ . $name . ‘
MESSAGE: ‘ . $message ;
phpmail($yourEmail, $subject, $message1, $email);
return “Thank you for using our mail form”;

Hello,

Do you have a server to host the php file to send mail. Your screen will have to point to your php file with a submit button.

The only thing I see is:
phpmail($yourEmail, $subject, $message1, $email);
should be
mail($yourEmail, $subject, $message1, $email);

Rob,

I just remembered that Cincy has a php sample on his code list at the following.

Hey Cincy,

Yes, I’m aware it’s suppose to be “mail” and not “phpmail”.
The only reason I used “phpmail” is because when I use “mail” to post this message here in this forum for some reason it kicks out with an error and therefore does not post it here…it’s weird.

Anyways I do have it as “mail($yourEmail, $subject, $message1, $email);”

nvts,

What do you mean have a server to host the php file? by having the php file in my MobiOne’s “myApp-www” directory isn’t that where this php file suppose to be? Do I need the php file to be on a server so my screen can point to it?

Thanks!

I need to get this done today. I know it’s simple and by doing this in this forum it drags too long.

Can you please email me or I can call you so we can resolve this easily?

My email is mailto:rob@volleyhollix.com. Please e-mail me and I can give you my cell#

Thanks.

Hi Rob,

Your php file must reside on your server. You should be aware that App Center (publish as mobile web application) is not a web server with script engine extensions such as php and jsp.

Octavio,

Yes…got it! I was able to do this and it works….thanks!

by the way… I have created a clear button on the e-mail page to clear all text boxes. I have the following java script but it does not work.

I tried both these:

m1-myEmailScreen-nameField = “”;
nameField = “”;

What is the correct way to do this?

thanks.

Hi Rob,

Since you stated in this topic you had success with this last question, I’ll mark this thread as closed.
