Unless you plan on creating HTML e-mail, all of this
business inside the [sendmail] is pointless.>

> [/orderfile]Here is where the [orderfile context stops. If the text after this point shows anything, it means that the order file fields are not set and you only have form variables to play with. That is your real problem. Open up a sample order file and see if there is anything in the header.When you add an item to the cart, if you also include any extra fields in the command (or as part of a form submission), then the corresponding header fields will be filled in. Or, you can set the header fields yourself using [setheader]. This is commonly done by prepending an underscore on the form fields then walking through on the subsequent page and setting the header fields.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
