What do you want it to say and what is your current CSS looking like?

**ericsante** · 11-18-2007, 08:13 PM

this is untested code however it should work.

if you want more fields you can add them to the form, to send them to the toemail, make sure you add a variable name and a $_get for each form.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>contact.php</title>
</head>

 
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
// process form

    $name = $_GET['Name'];
    $toemail = "email@yourdomain.com";
    $fromemail = $_GET[['Email'];
    $phone = $_GET['Phone'];
    $message = $_GET['Message'];
    $headers  = 'From: WebSite <noreply@noreply.com>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Reply-To: noreply@yourdomain.com' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
    $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; 
//set the subject line for the email message
    $subject = "WebSite Contact Page";
//here we build the body of the message to be sent.    
    $message = "Hello, I just sent you this web inquery. \r\n My name is: $name \r\n My email address is: $toemail\r\n My phone number is: $phone\r\n My Message is: $mess\r\n";
    mail($toemail, $subject, $message, $headers); // , $from Send the email!

?>

<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="contact.php?post">
<p>Name: 
  <label>
  <input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" />
  </label>
</p>
<p>Phone:
  <label>
  <input type="text" name="Phone" id="Phone" />
  </label>
</p>
  <p>Email: 
    <label>
    <input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
    </label>
</p>
  <p>Message:<br />
    <label>
      <textarea name="mess" id="mess" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>
    </label>
  </p>
  <label><br />
  </label>
    <label>
      <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
  </label>
</form>
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>contact.php</title>
</head>

 
<?php
if ($_POST) {
// process form

    $name = $_POST['Name'];
    $toemail = "email@yourdomain.com";
    $fromemail = $_POST[['Email'];
    $phone = $_POST['Phone'];
    $message = $_POST['Message'];
    $headers  = 'From: WebSite <noreply@noreply.com>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Reply-To: noreply@yourdomain.com' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
    $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; 
//set the subject line for the email message
    $subject = "WebSite Contact Page";
//here we build the body of the message to be sent.    
    $message = "Hello, I just sent you this web enquiry. \r\n My name is: $name \r\n My email address is: $toemail\r\n My phone number is: $phone\r\n My Message is: $mess\r\n";
    mail($toemail, $subject, $message, $headers); // , $from Send the email!

?>

<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="contact.php">
<p>Name: 
  <label>
  <input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" />
  </label>
</p>
<p>Phone:
  <label>
  <input type="text" name="Phone" id="Phone" />
  </label>
</p>
  <p>Email: 
    <label>
    <input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
    </label>
</p>
  <p>Message:<br />
    <label>
      <textarea name="mess" id="mess" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>
    </label>
  </p>
  <label><br />
  </label>
    <label>
      <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
  </label>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for the help.

Would I just paste all of that into dreamweaver? Or do i need to put the PHP part in a php file and then the forms and stuff in an html file?

When I try to test it out it opens this download box. Asking weather I would like to run or save it. Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

**bdg1115** · 11-21-2007, 12:25 PM

Can you take a look at the code, and what i am doing to make sure I am doing this right.

I put this into the html box with html tags and all:

<form method="post" action="form.php">
Name:<input name="name" type="text" id="name"><br>
Email:<input name="email" type="text" id="email"><br>
Subject:<input name="subject" type="text" id="subject"><br>
Message:<textarea name="comments" id="textarea"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="SUBMIT">
</form>

Then in another file i named it 'form.php' no html tags:

<?php
//Declare the variables
$recipient = "your e-mail here";
$message = "name: $name
email: $email
subject: $subject
message: $comments";
//Contents of form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
//mail() function sends the mail
mail($recipient,$subject,$message);
//This line sends to thankyou page when finished
header("Location: thankyou.htm");
?>

Is that right? For some reason its not working. When i put it up on the internet it sends me to that thank you page, but the messages or anything does not come into my e-mail.

Thanks in advance.

<?php
//Declare the variables
//Contents of form
$recipient = "xxxxx@gmail.com";
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$message = "name: $name
email: $email
subject: $subject
message: $comments";
//mail() function sends the mail
mail($recipient,$subject,$message);
//This line sends to thankyou page when finished
header("Location: thankyou.htm");
?>

**bdg1115** · 11-21-2007, 02:24 PM

Thanks, but its still not working. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I'm new to php.

**Foundationflash** · 11-21-2007, 03:22 PM

Any error messages? You might need to check your error logs. Are you running this on a local or remote server?

**bdg1115** · 11-21-2007, 03:44 PM

I am running it on go daddy? im not really sure what i am doing. haha where can i find the error messages?

**bdg1115** · 11-22-2007, 09:58 PM

Anyone just want to do it for me and send me the stuff? haha.. i cant figure it out.

**Veselin Stoilov** · 11-23-2007, 06:27 AM

take a look here Contact form in PHP

**Harlequin** · 11-23-2007, 07:59 PM

if you are still having trouble with this take a look at www.websitedesigntenerife.net, I have a basic contact form there that sends a mail to me when someone uses it as I'm sick of getting SPAM. If it's what you want, use the form and I'll send you the source code.

**dansgalaxy** · 11-24-2007, 04:32 AM

sounds like dont have PHP support...

php code should be in a file with php extention --> testfile.php

you have to test in on a server that supports php, local or online
