Look in to sending emails with the mail() function. As for processing form data there are many tutorials on using $_GET/$_POST variables.

If you want coding done for you, check out the Freelance section

That sounds like a plan...

just a side note, i am pretty sure you did not design the site as i have seen that CSS template before, so i wouldn't offer designing work when you just use free internet code.

Hi Blade280891,

 

i think you'll find that the css i created by a WYSIWYG program. I design - i.e in photoshop and then let the programm write the code (more to the point why i need help with such things). I think remarks like that are best sent privately, at least that is until you know for sure what you are talking about. Comments like that can be unhelpfull to a new person on these forums.

 

regards

im receiving the emails but they are blank  ???

 

in which part of this string do i need to associate with the form here is one such string

 

$body .= "Email: $_POSTnn";

 

and here is the first part of the code for the form

 

<ul >

 

<li id="li_1" >

<label class="description" for="element_1">Name </label>

<span>

<input id="element_1_1" name= "element_1_1" class="element text" maxlength="255" size="8" value=""/>

<label>First</label>

</span>

<span>

 

Please advise

When using the $_POST vars, you place the name of the form field within the square brackets (wrapped in quotes).

 

So the following variable $_POST['email'] will refer to a form field named email. So retrieve the value from the form field called element_1_1 you'd use $_POST['element_1_1']
