Okay I'm new to PHP/MySQL...Somewhat xD I know a lot cause of C++ and stuff but the MySQL part is all crazy for me.

Anyways before I start asking questions about MySQL I want to get this simple e-mail form down.

Theres two things I want:
1. To have the 'from' say their e-mail address when sent, and have the Subject show...the subject when it comes in my e-mail.
2. I want a "Message has been succesfully sent" Appear above the e-mail form, but fade in like when you digg something on digg I guess is the best example.

Heres the code so far.

<td class="newsbody"><table width="100%" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td><?php
//Variable Definitions from contact.php
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$header ="From $name <$email>";
$to = 'email@email.net';
//send the e-mail
$send_contact = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
if($send_contact) { //Checks if E-mail was sent succesfully
echo "Message has been sent Succesfully";
} else {
echo "Error recieving Message";
}
?></td>
  </tr>
</table>

          <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="contact.php">
            <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3">
              <tr>
                <td width="25%"><label>
                  <input name="Name" type="text" class="tbl" id="Name" />
                </label>
                  <label></label></td>
                <td width="75%">Name</td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td><input name="email" type="text" class="tbl" id="email" /></td>
                <td>E-mail</td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td><input name="subject" type="text" class="tbl" id="subject" /></td>
                <td>Subject</td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td colspan="2"><textarea name="message" cols="45" rows="8" class="tbl" id="message">Enter Message here...</textarea></td>
                </tr>
              <tr>
                <td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
                  <label>
                  <input type="reset" name="Reset" id="button" value="Reset" />
                  </label></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
            <label></label>
            <br />
          </form>          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>

I think the fade in prob needs ajax or something? still the table is always showing even before they sent the message...and ya :/

Put up two fields on your web page and have them type in their email address and subject and then they click submit and the email is sent. Is that what you mean?

You posted code but you didn't say if it is working - is it working?

As for the fading, no you don't need ajax for that: use an animated gif with the text you want and fade it that way.

It does work, And if you look at the code there is a spot for them to enter their email, and stuff but how do you make it so it actually says its from THEIR email and not my webhosts server e-mail? and how do you put a subject line when sent...look at the code? xD

interesting question and that the answer I will also like to know being a hosting provider have faced a lot of problem with nobody email stuff.
