PHP not working

cwissick · July 17, 2008

I'm new to creating web forms and I know this is not the best attempt at my first form, but I was hoping someone could help me. All I want is to be able to set this up and have the form emailed back with the content. Unfortunately, it's all working except that the email sent to me (dbigsby1 account listed) is blank. Could someone please help me and correct this form or show me how?

Thank you for any and all help! It's greatly appreciated!

Sorry I thought I had pasted that!

I'm confused.. what is below the line and where does the php end

Below the line are the variables I want people to be able to fill out so that the information in the form is sent to my email account.

If your new to coding in PHP, I would recommend staying away from MIME mail for a while, and stick with the regular mail() function until you get the hang of coding. You code doesnt seem to be structured very well either. Just a heads up. If you need some tips on how to do the regular mail(), let me know. Be glad to help

cwissick · July 18, 2008

Yeah like I said I'm really not sure what I'm doing and I just need to do this one form. I would greatly appreciate it if I could just get it to do the regular mail function, as I'm not sure what the difference is anyway! Let me know where I should start. Thank you compguru!
