    Hi all,

    Anyone can tell me why I get an error message "Notice: Undefined variable: comments in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\do.php on line 9"

    Here is the code :

    form.htm:

    <html>
    <body>
    <form action="do.php" method="post">
    username: <input type="text" name="username"><br>
    address: <input type="text" name="useraddr"><br>
    <textarea name="comments"></textarea>
    <input type="submit" value="Do">
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    do.php:

    <?php
    #recipient's email address
    $to = "me@yahoo.com";#here I enter my email

    #Subj
    $re ="Website Feedback";

    #message from the form
    $msg=$comments;

    #send now
    mail($to,$re,$msg);
    ?>

    <html><body>
    thanks!<br>
    </body>
    </html>

    Global vars are most likely turned off. Use the superglobal $_POST array (google it if you don't know what it is).

    Bingo!

    I replace $comments with $_POST["comments"]

    Thanks! :)
