wildteen88 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Look in to sending emails with the mail() function. As for processing form data there are many tutorials on using $_GET/$_POST variables.

DeanWhitehouse Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 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.

NOOB-DUDE Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 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 NOOB Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/111713-designer-needs-help-will-design-in-return/#findComment-573516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 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'] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/111713-designer-needs-help-will-design-in-return/#findComment-574331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
