Hi pals. I have a form that is not working, and I know it's some dumb detail that I have missed. If you have a minute will you help me?

The form code is:

<form method="post" action="">
<p class="body"><span class="style4">Receive Jill Bucy Skincare event invitations & news</span><br />
<span class="input-body">
<input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" size="30" maxlength="80" value="Simply enter your e-mail address" />
</span>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

And there's some php junk in the head:

<?php

$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[Email];

$mailto = "info@jillbucy.com, jillbucy@msn.com, jill@ah.candyhog.com, ah@candyhog.com";
$mailsubj = "Mailing list request";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
$err = 0;
if ( strlen($name)<3 || strlen($numberofguests)<1 || strlen($email)<5) {
$err=1;
}

if (!$err) {
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "A visitor would like to be added to the email list for invites and newsletters:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; }
/// if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); }
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
$email = '';

}
?>

The form can be seen live at http://jillbucy.com/ at the top of the page.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I'm still learning myself, But try this..

PHP Code:


			
<form method="post" action="">

<p class="body"><span class="style4">Receive Jill Bucy Skincare event invitations &amp; news</span><br />

<span class="input-body">

<input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" size="30" maxlength="80" value="Simply enter your e-mail address" />

</span>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />

</form>



And there's some php junk in the head:



<?php



$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Email'];



$mailto = "info@jillbucy.com, jillbucy@msn.com, jill@ah.candyhog.com, ah@candyhog.com";

$mailsubj = "Mailing list request";

$mailhead = "From: ".$email."\n";

$err = 0;

if ( strlen($name)<3 || strlen($numberofguests)<1 || strlen($email)<5) {

$err=1;

}



if (!$err) {

reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);

$mailbody = "A visitor would like to be added to the email list for invites and newsletters:\n";

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= $key." : ".$val."\n"; }

/// if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); }

mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);

$email = '';



}

?>

Thanks so much! I tried it and it doesn't seem to work though; I am submitting my email address and not getting a notice to the post-to email address. Any further help?!
