$_POST - results to be sent in a email - php

Question

<textarea rows="4" cols="70" name="filename" id="result" style="background:#B0D2D7;
width:100%;overflow:auto;resize:none"
readonly><?php echo $_POST['filename']; ?></textarea>
Hi all, this is a snippet of code I'm using. What I'm struggling with is how to send
the $_POST results that get displayed on the next page into an email using PHP email.
The results are not displayed in a text box as such on the next page but displayed more like a print_pr into a PHP form.
Any help would be great!

Answer 1

To move data across into another page via POST, the easiest way is to wrap your textarea in a form and add a submit button:
<form action="?" method="post">
<textarea name="filename"></textarea>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST["filename"]))
{
echo $_POST["filename"];
}
?>
You also made a vague reference to sending an email, which can be done using the mail() function.

<?
$g_mail = "mail#domain.com";
$s_name = "Some name";
$to = "Receiver <receiver#domain.com>";
$subject = "Some subject";
$message= "HTML codes here. Write anything you want including " . $_POST['data'];
$header = "From: $s_name <".$g_mail.">\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: $s_name <".$g_mail.">\n";
$header .= "Return-Path: $s_name <".$g_mail.">\n";
$header .= "Delivered-to: $s_name <".$g_mail.">\n";
$header .= "Date: ".date(r)."\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-9\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Importance: Normal\n";
$header .= "X-Sender: $s_name <".$g_mail.">\n";
$header .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
$header .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510\n";
$header .= "X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2869\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
?>
This is the mail script I generally use. It will not be marked as spam on most mail providers aswell.
