Mail Form Help

Recommended Posts

Hi. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what is wrong with my mail form. Its supposed to have two boxes (URL + Description) and a submit button. Then i'm meant to receive the mail telling me what they have entered. The only problem is (i think) that its hosted on a free hoster - php0h.com, beacuse my proper hoster (NTL) doesn't support PHP. Does the email I type in have to be on the same domain name thing as where the script is? e.g if my address was www.cat.com my email would have to be anythinghere@cat.com? cause if this is true im stuffed, cause php0h doesn't offer free email services. If there are any other email form restrictions or stuff i need to know i'd be greatfull. heres my html code and php script if it will help:

[code]
<form method="POST" action="http://everythingred.php1h.com/scripts/contact.php">
Fields marked (*) are required

<p>LinkURL:<br>
<input type="text" name="LinkURL">
<p>Description:<br>
<textarea name="Description"></textarea>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<p>
[/code]

and the php script (hosted somwhere else)

[code]
<?php
// Website Contact Form Generator
// http://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/contact_form/
// This script is free to use as long as you  
// retain the credit link  

// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "A Visitor";
$EmailTo = "myemail@ntlworld.com";
$Subject = "Submitted Link";
$LinkURL = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['LinkURL']));
$Description = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Description']));

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "LinkURL: ";
$Body .= $LinkURL;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Description: ";
$Body .= $Description;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=ok.htm\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>
[/code]
