i have tried this submiting this for with IE7 and IE6 and it doesn't
work, but it does with firefox.
any help will be really appreciated.

//process.php
<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])){

$name=trim($_POST['name']);
$company=trim($_POST['company']);
$email=trim($_POST['email']);
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$to="myaddress@home.com";
$dia=date("l \- d F Y - H:i:s T");
$message="Name:\n $name \n\nCompany:\n $company \n\ne-mail:\n $email
\n\nComments:\n $comments\n\nDate:\n $dia";

if (!$name||!$email){
echo "<p>please fill-out the required fields</p>";
}else{
if(mail($to,"inquire from my website",$message,"From:
$name <$email>\n")) {
echo "<p>thank you for sending the form.</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>there was a problem sending the
form.</p>";
}
}

} //end if submit
?>


and the html form which is in a different file.

<form id="contact" method="post" action="process.php">
<fieldset>
<table cellpadding="10"><tr> <td> <label for="name">
<span>name</span> </td><td> <input type="text" name="name"
id="name" />
</label>
</td></tr>

<tr> <td>
<label for="company"> <span>company</span> </td><td> <input
type="text" name="company" id="company" />
</label>

</td></tr>

<tr> <td>
<label for="email"> <span>email</span> </td><td> <input type="text"
name="email" id="email" />
</label>

</td></tr>
<tr> <td>
<label for="comments">
<span>comments</span></td><td>
<textarea name="comments" cols="20" rows="5" wrap="soft"></textarea>
</label>


</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center">
<?php echo "<p>".$mensaje."</p>"; ?>

i'll try changing the html form today and taking off the <fieldset>
id, etc and see if that changes anything. this is the first time that
i have such a problem. it puzzling since the form works perfectly with
mozilla.

thanks

(Top posting fixed)

That's strange - the script shouldn't care about what browser is being
used. It's like the browsers are sending different data.

What's in the $_POST array when it works and doesn't work?

echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>\n";

near the top of your script.

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.

thank you for your suggestion. i got the email form fixed.

now my login form doesn't work, even though the post variables seem to
be fine.


i get this on IE:
Array
(
[username] => ds
[password] => ds
[submit_x] => 72
[submit_y] => 15
)


and this on Firefox:

Array
(
[username] => bs
[password] => bs
[submit_x] => 67
[submit_y] => 13
[submit] => submit
)

it seems to me that the submit image is not working on IE.


i read that IE has problem posting forms when you use a PNG for a
button instead of the regular submit button.i tried a JPG, but it
didn't help either. it's good to know that at least the PHP code is
fine.

thank you again Jerry.

PS what does Top Post mean? sorry about that.

Yes, when you click on an image, IE doesn't consider it a "submit
button", where as other browsers do.

Top posting is posting before the response. This is bottom posting.

Normally you quote the relevant parts of the previous post and respond
after those comments (or, if the post is rather long, in the middle of
the comments). That's because most of us are reading this though
usenet, and there's no guarantee how long any message will stay on a
usenet server.

A. Because it interrupts the flow of the messages.
Q. Why is top posting bad?
A. Top posting.
Q. What's the most annoying thing on usenet?

One other thing you could do - set up a hidden field with name=submit
and value=submit. Then the image would wok on either.
