Hmm, this is my script so far:

Code:

// set the TO: email address

   $to = '*********@cox.net';



   // set the SUBJECT: e-mail

   $subject = "An error has occured - type: $error_code";



   // set the MESSAGE: e-mail

   $message = "The following error has occured:\r\n"



            ."--------------------------------\r\n\r\n"

            ."  Type: $error_code\r\n"

            ."  Page:  {$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}\r\n"

            ."  Time: ".date('d/m/Y H:i:s')."\r\n"

            ."  Referring Page: $referred_by = ( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : 'Unknown' )\r\n"

            ."  From IP: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}\r\n\r\n"

            ."Regards,\r\n"

            ."Your hard-working web server.";



   $headers = "From: webserver@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}\n"

             ."Reply-To: webserver@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}\n"

             ."X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();



   // send the email

   mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );

Referring page of couse is being called as

Code:Referring Page: $referred_by = ( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : 'Unknown' )

What have I done wrong?

Use this code and it will work.

Code:

<?php 



// Begin PHP Code 



// FILENAME: FUNCTIONS.INC.PHP 

function is_reported() 

{ 



   // SET THE DOMAIN NAME BELOW (without the 'http://' or 'www' bits) 

   $domain = 'able2know.com'; 



   // --------------------------------------------------------------- 



   if( isset($_COOKIE['http_errors']) )

   {

     $_COOKIE['http_errors'] = unserialize( base64_decode($_COOKIE['http_errors']) );



     if( in_array($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $_COOKIE['http_errors']) )

     {

       // this error page / url has been reported by this person before

       return TRUE;

     }

   }

   // this person has either NEVER reported an error before

   // or this is a NEW url error to report

   $_COOKIE['http_errors'][] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

   $value = serialize( $_COOKIE['http_errors'] );

   setcookie( 'http_errors', base64_encode($value), time() + 24*60*60, '/', '.'.$domain, 0 );

   unset( $domain, $value );

   return FALSE;

}



function send_error_email( $error_code='Undefined' ) 



{ 

  if( !is_reported() ) 

  { 

   // set the TO: email address 

   $to = '[email protected]'; 

   $referred_by = ( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : 'Unknown' );





   // set the SUBJECT: e-mail 

   $subject = "An error has occured - type: $error_code"; 



   // set the MESSAGE: e-mail 

   $message = "The following error has occured:\r\n" 



            ."--------------------------------\r\n\r\n" 

            ."  Type: $error_code\r\n" 

            ."  Page:  {$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}\r\n" 

            ."  Time: ".date('d/m/Y H:i:s')."\r\n" 

            ."  From IP: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}\r\n\r\n"

            ."  Referring Page: $referred_by \r\n" 

            ."Regards,\r\n" 

            ."Your hard-working web server."; 



   $headers = "From: webserver@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}\n" 

             ."Reply-To: webserver@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}\n" 

             ."X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion(); 



   // send the email 

   mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ); 

   } 

} 

// End PHP Code 

?>

You needed to just set that variable outside of $message and just call it, see the code I posted. I tested it and it works.

Woohooo. It works now. You can see the updated Generator on the site Laughing

Great! When I add more to this code I'll let you know. Eventually I'll flitch the generator from you. ;-)
