email sent to sender, not bcc recipient

email sent to sender, not bcc recipient

Hi Ray

Going round in circles with this. The attached page sends the email to the contact form enquirer, but not the intended recipient in the bcc field.

I've tried adding

<?php
global $rsEnq;
?>

to the body file, but that makes no difference.

Hope you can spot something obvious.

Many thanks

Chris

You have the recipient and send buttons in two separate forms. They would have to be in the same form. Just use one large <form> tag around both steps and that should fix it.

Hi Ray

I've tried that and the form doesn't send at all.

The first form creates the session; I've tested that and displayed the email address from the session on the 2nd form (so the recordset is created). The email is sent to the enquirers address, but the bcc isn't sent to the Session recordset address.

Cheers

I'd have to debug this live. I can only imagine that the recordset isn't getting the correct bcc email address. That is the only thing that I can think of that would cause it to not send.

I would start by adding this below the recordset but above the email code:

php:
<?php

if (isset($_POST["btnSend"]) || isset($_POST["btnSend_x"]))     { 
  die(
"bcc email: " $rsEnq->getColumnVal("MemEmail"));
}
?>



That would at least confirm if the email address was coming in from the recordset correctly or not.

Thanks Ray

Just retested with that and after submitting the form, the page shows

bcc email:

Hmmnn...

Yet if I put the rsEnq email field onto the page, it shows the email address, so it is present in the recordset.

Cheers

The session variable must not be persisting properly.

Try changing line 23 from this:

if (!session_id()) session_start();

to:

@session_start();

Then you could test if session variable setting and display is working in general. Can you set a session variable on one page and display it on the next?

It could be an issue with your php.ini file and the session_save_path folder or permissions on that folder.

@session_start();

That did the trick!

Many thanks Ray - excellent support, as usual.
