Report Dead Link Script

[incka]

I'm trying to get a report dead link script that when people click report, it sends me an email telling me which ID the thing came from.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

This is what I tried:


<?php
$to = "sean@incka.com.com";
$subject = "DEAD LINK";
$body = "ID . echo $row['id']; . /n NAME . echo $row['name']; .";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body))
{
echo("<p>Message sent!</p>");
}
else
{
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
?>

But it didn't work...

What happened?

You '.com.com' in your $to variable...

Why use mail anyway? Just shove it in a database table.

Because I have no idea how to shove it in a database table :P

Thanks r2d2, I'll see if that works.

Did it work? If not, the $body bit might be the problem. Try:



$body = "ID: ".$row['id']."/n NAME: ".$row['name'];

Ah yes :) How did I miss that! That wouldnt cause an error though would it? It would just put 'echo', ';' and '.'s in the email? Unless that was how it 'didn't work'...

OK, I'll try that, thanks :)

Works perfect. Thanks guys.

I would have thought the same thing. No special characters that need escaping. But it just looked wrong, which is why I mentioned it :)
