start with the basics...get it working then add your css

ok do this...

use this 1st


<form method="POST" action="mailer.php">
   <input type="text" name="name" size="19"><br>
   <br>
   <input type="text" name="email" size="19"><br>
   <br>
  <input type="text" name="phone" size="19"><br>
   <br>
   <textarea rows="9" name="message" cols="30"></textarea>
   <br>
   <br>
   <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>

creat mailer.php and add this

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "you@you.com"; // type your email add in here
$subject = "Form Tutorial";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$phone_field = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n PHONE: $phone_field\n Message:\n $message";

echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "error in sending email!";

}
?>

then try it... then add your css around it

hanks for the fast reply.

but, where should i put it in? should i delete my form as u can see on the site? or should i paste it over???

runnerjp · July 6, 2008

i would insert the html where your existing form is

AndyB · July 6, 2008

To follow up on runnerjp's post:

Replace

<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="form">

with

<form action="mailer.php" method="post" id="form">

but otherwise you can leave your code alone.

Upload his mailer.php script and keep your fingers crossed ...

soulroll · July 6, 2008

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR HELP!

..but still doesnt work

first i tried the first idea... so i pasted the html code in and created a mailer.php and uploaded it. when i try to send the message, a respond comes that the message was send to my adress, but nothing comes...

here is a copy of the html code...hope it was in the right spot. (i copied a bit more for you guys here, just too see better where i copied it in)

<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">[/color]

</form>

</div>

</div>

then i tried the other version and changed the new code in my old one in...but now comes "error in sending email!"

so...i go crazy...what could i do now???

Did you get a blank message, or just no message at all? Sometimes php mail() messages get eaten by spam filters, so maybe double check that hasn't happened to you.

soulroll · July 6, 2008

no message at all...unfortunately.

i just double check the junk folder..no...i even tried it with two different mails...one gmail and another one

soulroll · July 6, 2008

a friend of mine just send me per mail this code. he said its not finished, but should have a look on it. should suit to my first html code(posted above) my problem is i dont understand whats not finished and where should i edit my email adress...

<?php

if ($_POST) {
    // set variables
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $phone = $_POST['phone'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];

    // now you would email using the mail() function.
    // I've written most of the script for you, so now it's your turn to figure this out
    // If you have specific questions, ask them.

} else {
    echo '<div class="col_2">
<div class="indent">
<img src="images/t6_3.gif" alt="" class="title" /><br />
<form action="contact.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="form">
<div class="box">
<div class="col_box_1">
Your name:
<div class="div_input"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" />
</div>
E-mail address:
<div class="div_input"><input name="email" type="text" id="email" />
</div>
Phone:
<div class="div_input"><input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="col_box_2">
Your message:
<div><textarea name="message" cols="0" rows="0" id="message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<div class="div_links"><a class="link_3" href="#" onclick="document.getElementById(\'form\').reset()"> clear</a><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" height="1" width="15" /><a class="link_3" href="#" onclick="document.getElementById(\'form\').submit()" >submit</a></div></form>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>

}

?>

Follow runnerj's instructions for the second code block he gave you in his first reply - where your friend has put "contact.php" as the form action, runnerj has used "mailer.php". Should work for you

soulroll · July 6, 2008

i followed his code and copied it in, but no respond...no mail.

swordbeta · July 6, 2008

Did you edited the variables?

soulroll · July 6, 2008

which variables? where? how? sorry...im a newbie .... the boxes have all a name...was already in the text filed code

soulroll · July 6, 2008

should i paste the php code in the body or should it be the php code that you guys gave me alone??

ron8000 · July 6, 2008

I am going to have to suggest a PHP Mailer class that I have been using for some time now. It's VERY fast and has yet to let me down.

http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/

This is a VERY extensive class and has lost of room to add if you are in to that but the basic idea will get you started and emailing in PHP fast and easy.

Here is a basic example of how to send an HTML email.

<?php

require("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->AddAddress($_POST['email']);
$mail->FromName = "My Name";
$mail->FromAddress = "me@mail.com";

$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->WordWarp

$mail->Subject = "Thank you!";

$body  = "<div><h4>My Title!</h4></div>";
$body .= "Thank you Info what not here blah blah<br><br>";
$body .= "<p>Your Var = ".$myVar."</p>";

$this->Body = $body;

if($mail->Send() !== false)
{
    echo "YAY WE DID IT!";
}
else
{
   echo "Jump!";
}

?>

I hope this helps you!

soulroll · July 6, 2008

thanks, i tried to copy now your php but still nothing works...i must do smth worng...cant be...

runnerjp · July 6, 2008

sounds like your server is not set up to use a mail function

bothwell · July 6, 2008

sounds like your server is not set up to use a mail function

Wouldn't that throw a server error?
