The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Get values using "GET" but not "POST"

Asked by RosieisSweet in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), PHP and Databases, PHP Scripting Language

Tags: php

Hi,
I am new to PHP and am having a problem with a form to email information collected from an html form. When I use the "GET" parameter, the information gets to the intended email. When I use "POST" the email returns with empty fields. Can someone describe the difference between "GET" and "POST" that would cause this? My client does not want a database on his site. Just information emailed to him from these forms. Also, I am concerned with security using "GET" where the information is shown in the URL.

Here is the code I am using with "GET" and it is working but I think "POST" is what I will need for securitiy reasons. Can you use "POST" without a database?

<?php
// variables
$customer_name = $_GET['customer_name'];
$from = $_GET['customer_email'];
$customer_phone = $_GET['customer_phone'];
$customer_comment = $_GET['customer_comment'];

//to and subject
$to = "ozzie@bclean.com";
$subject = "Customer Inquiry";

//message body
$message = '
<html>
                  <head>
                  </head>
                        <body>
                              <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td width="15%" align="left" valign="top">Name:</td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><b>'.$customer_name.'</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="15%" align="left" valign="top">Email Address:</td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><b>'.$from.'</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="15%" align="left" valign="top">Phone Number:</td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><b>'.$customer_phone.'</b><br></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><h2>How may we be of assistance?</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><p>'.$customer_comment.'</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
                        </body>
            </html>
';

//make sure text wraps if it is to long
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);

//set html content type
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: ' .$from. "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
