PHP window shuts down immediately

[Emanuele]

Hi all and welcome to my first post

I'm trying to make an online survey and wouldn't want to use a simple mail-to form in HTML, so I tried using PHP. I am using web space from my university, and the webmaster was telling me that I had to convert my file to CGI script by entering some kind of command on the first line of the .php file. I was trying but I can't even open the .php file; some window does open but then it shuts down immediately.

I don't know what to do!! Any ideas?

Thanks

Not sure if this would help you a bit, but here is a code that you would use in a action in a form.

Code: Select all

<?php
$username = $_POST['username'];
$useraddr = $_POST['useraddr'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];

$to = "admin@localhost";
$re = "Survey";
$msg = $comments;
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html";
$headers .= " charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $useraddr \r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: another@localhost \r\n";
mail( $to, $re, $msg, $headers );
?>
