iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 18, 2004 i would recommend using either a cgi or php mail script to process the form. i can send you a very good, well commented one written in perl if you would like. its free for non-commercial use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 19, 2004 [i made i copletely new script for you and i didn't test it , so if you have problems tell me so i can fix it] Ok, this is my script so you can do whatever with it. What it does: It first checks that you filled in all the fields and that your emails match so you can answer. Once you fill in all the fields and hit send, it tells you it was sent, your name, your email, to who it was sent, what was the subject, and what the mesage was. Or if there was a problem it gives you an error. !!You have to leave the file names the same!! Your gonna have to change the folowing in the file(s): In sendform.php you have to set the variable $to to your email (it's replaced by a load of slashes) --------------------form.php-------------------- <html><body><form name="contact" method="post" action="sendform.php"><table align="center" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td>Your Name:</td> <td><input type="text" name="name"></td> </tr><tr> <td>Email:</td> <td><input type="text" name="email"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Confirm Email:</td> <td><input type="text" name="conf_email"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Subject:</td> <td><input type="text" name="sub"></td> </tr><tr> <td>Message:</td> <td><textarea name="msg" cols="20" rows="6"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="right"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></td> </tr></table></form></body></html> --------------------sendform.php-------------------- <?phpif($name == "") { echo "Please fill out your name.<br>";}elseif($email == "") { echo "Please fill out your email address.<br>";}elseif($email == $conf_email) { echo "Your emails do not match.<br>";}elseif($sub == "") { echo "Please fill out a subject.<br>";}elseif($msg == "") { echo "Please fill out a message.<br>";}else {$to = "///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////";$subject = "$sub<$name, $email>"; @extract($_POST); mail($to,$subject,$msg,"From: $name <$email>");{echo "<center><h1>Email Sent</h1></center><br>Your name is: <b>$name</b><br>Your email is: <b>$email</b><br>An e-mail was sent to: <b>$to</b><br>With the subject: <b>$subject</b><br>And the mesage was: <b>$msg</b>";} else {echo "<center><h1>Error!</h1></center><br>There was a problem sending the mail. Check your code and make sure that the e-mail address $to is valid";}?> Ok, to use it in your site just use php include, you know what that is right? 8) ENJOY!
