forms sessions email

[Quinonez]

here is the set up.
7 page form all get set to sessions
8th page sessions are called and results displayed for user to see
this is the php script for page 8
<?
ksort($_SESSION );
foreach ($_SESSION as $page=>$_POST)
{
echo "<div class=\"h3\">$p age</div><br>";
foreach ($_POST as $field=>$value)
{
echo "$field: $value<br>";
}
}
?>

now i would like for the user to press a submit link/button and the
results sent to an email address. i know how to set up basic feedback
forms and have them emailed to me but not really sure where to go from
here once i ve called the sessions to recall them on another page.. any
help greatly appreciated.
thank you

While you are loading the HTML page for display you could also load it
into the message variable of the email. Don't forget emails can be in
the HTML format also. You could litereally send yourself the page the
user sees. Ahhh and session variables may be called and recalled as
many times as you want.

Basic logic:
if (submitted)
{
create the HTML page to be displayed and save it into the
variable $body.

Example: ksort($_SESSION );
foreach ($_SESSION as $page=>$_POST)
{
message .= "<div class=\"h3\">$p age</div><br>";
foreach ($_POST as $field=>$value)
{
message .= "$field: $value<br>";
}
}
echo $message;
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

Make sense?

First: indent your scripts.


then ...

Build a string with the info from the $_SESSION and then mail it.

[copied from your code and reformatted]
<?php
ksort($_SESSION );

/* initializae $msg_body */
$msg_body = '';

foreach ($_SESSION as $page=>$_POST)
{
# echo "<div class=\"h3\">$p age</div><br>";

/* add $page to message */
$msg_body .= "\n$page\n" ;

foreach ($_POST as $field=>$value)
{
# echo "$field: $value<br>";

/* add $field and $value to message */
$msg_body .= "$field: $value\n";

}
}

/* send it */
if (!mail($somebod y, 'Form contents', $msg_body)) {
/* mail not sent! */
/* write error_log or something :-) */
}

?>

Why is the PHPSESSID in the $_SESSION array?

If you can't remove it from there, at the moment you're building the
message, check whether the current key is 'PHPSESSID' and do not add it
to the message.

unset($saved_se ssid); /* to make sure it doesn't exist */

if (isset($_SESSIO N['PHPSESSID'])) {
$saved_sessid = $_SESSION['PHPSESSID'];
unset($_SESSION['PHPSESSID']); /* remove it from the $_SESSION */
}

/* do your printing stuff here */

/* restore $_SESSION, it might be needed by php */
if (isset($saved_s essid)) {
$_SESSION['PHPSESSID'] = $saved_sessid;
unset($saved_se ssid); /* save a few bytes of memory */
}
