Topic awaiting preservation: php email script (Page 1 of 1)

I have a contact form that uses a php script to send me and email of the form info, but each time I submit the form the following message is displayed:

"Warning: <?php_track_vars?> is no longer supported - please use the track_vars INI directive instead..."

How do I fix this? Here is my entire script for reference:

<?php_track_vars?>
<?php

$msg .= "Sender's Full Name:\t$sender_name\n";
$msg .= "Sender's Email:\t$sender_email\n";
$msg .= "Did you like this site?\t$like_site\n";
$msg .= "Comments/Questions:\t$message\n\n";

$mailheaders = "From: My Web Site\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $sender_email\n\n";

mail("kapambwe@hotmail.com", "Feedback Form", $msg, $mailheaders);

echo "<h1 align='center'>Thank You, $sender_name</h1>";
echo "<p align='center'>I appreciate your feedback</p>";

?>

You can enable php_track_vars in your php.ini file in the section "Data Handling".

I'm not quite sure, but I assume your php version lately changed from V < 4.1 to V > 4.1, right?

That's because you have to access the post variable differently in the new versions (security reasons). Now you can access them with:
$_POST['varname']
or $_GET['varname'] for URL-passed variables. Just save them in new variables, like this:

$sender_name = $_POST['sender_name'];

So I don't need the <?php_track_vars?> at all??

Geez I never even knew that existed.

heh

No you shouldn't need that. Normally if track vars is set in the ini file you will have automatic access to those variables best practice however is to just use the $_POST and $_GET variables.
