I am creating a website for myself. I have the domain hosted by Heart Internet and I have all the text fields in with the submit and reset button. It's a .html document and I've already created a thankyou.html page where that page shows someone there information has been sent. I am having trouble getting that information sent to my email inbox?
Anyone got a clue lol ??
Thanks in advance,
JAMiE

Well, the thing is, you'll be going nowhere without php lol.
Luckily for you I have a email form generator.
http://www.sgilligan.co.uk/tools/contact - The script will work, but the site is NOT finished, that is why the left and right columns are not filled in.
Just follow the instructions, if you have any questions feel free to ask, it is my script of course.

Jamie there's a way to send an email directly by setting the action of the form
action="mailto:you@email.com"
but it's not the most reliable way. Scripting languages are the way to go to send a form. There are many free scripts available you can use.
If you're willing to learn PHP it's fairly easy to code your own forms. I'd bet a lot of people entered into the world of scripting because they want to mail a form. There are plenty of tutorials on how to.

Hi, thanks for the help, I've made a contact.php page and a results.php page, I've uploaded the pages to the internet but when I try and put my details in yeah the page takes me to the results page, but when I check my email there's nothing in it with the subject I chosen when I was on your website (Gilligan)...
Any ideas?
Oh yeh, the page is up at www.flashmedia.org.uk/contact.php
Thanks again,
JAMiE |

Thats strange, not working for me either.
I'm using the Contact Form Killer script. so you might have to contact them 
I suggest you forget my script and try a different one. Sorry mate. |

Well if we could have information about what variables you want I'm sure we could make a working solution for you.

Two things, 1 can you give us the code of the results.php page? 2 Why do you have a page in a page?

Yeah, not a problem. I'll PM it to you and I'll also e-mail you it (if your email address is available from your profile)...
What do you mean why do I have a page in a page?
Thanks,

If that's the whole page the problem is that there is no PHP, the form isn't getting processed. One thing is don't use a copyright symbol in the text use © instead. Before I get to the PHP though first is this:

See the comments I added in it.
Ok now onto something else that needs fixed first in your form:
HTML Code:
<!--This is the fleshed out form with no formatting-->
<form action="results.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this);" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit_form" /><!--What is this for?-->
<input type="text" name="fullname" value="" size="40" />
<input type="text" name="email" size="40" value="" />
<!--Good up to this point, but all options need a value-->
<select name="subject" id="subject">
<option value="" selected="selected">Please choose a subject</option>
<option value="General_Enquiry">General Enquiry</option>
<option value="Quotation">Quotation</option>
<option value="Sales">Sales<option>
<option value="Technical">Technical</option>
<option value="Support">Support</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="phone" size="40" value="" />
<input type="text" name="company" size="40" value="" />
<textarea name="comments" cols="60" rows="6"></textarea>
<!--Did you know you can enter default values into textareas?-->
<input type="submit" value="Submit" /></form>
Working from that, with the values added in put this into the top of results.php before the doctype declaration even:
PHP Code:
<?php $action = $_POST['action'];//Still not sure why you want that...
$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$headers = "From: ".$email."\r\n"."Reply-To: ".$email;
$message = "Fullname: ".$fullname."\r\n"."Phone: ".$phone."\r\n"."Company: ".$company."\r\n"."Comments: ".$comments;
$message = wordwrap($message,70);//Makes sure no line is longer than 70 chars
mail('office@flashmedia.org.uk',$subject,$message,$headers);
?>

Good I'm glad I could help. You do know, rather than typing JAMiE out under each post you can just add it to your signature right?

Yeah, I'm going to  ... That contact and results page is working brilliantly. Just one more enquiry... On the contact page, the 'comments' box is massive, I'd like it the same width as the other boxes above it and I am not sure with php how to do this?
Thank You... |
