Help with php mail script

[yuensan]

Hi I am new to php and wondering if some of you pros could help me write a simple mail script that will work along side the following xml files.

The 1st xml file:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<contactFormStructure>

 

<formItems>

 

<item id="1" label="Name" required="true">

 

</item>

 

<item id="2" label="E-mail" required="true">

 

<validator>EmailValidator</validator>

</item>

 

<item id="3" label="Message" required="true">

 

</item>

 

</formItems>

 

</contactFormStructure>

The 2nd xml file:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!--

    Please read this information to learn how to set up the contact form integrated

    into the template.

   

    This readme file explains in details the meaning of the settings that can be

    done in the fcContactFormConfiguration.xml configuration file.

   

    It is recommended for you to use an XML editor to make changes to this file

    because it’s less possible to make an error in the markup which can cause to

    a not working contact form.

  -->

<contactFormConfiguration>

 

<!--

    An e-mail address which will be used to receive messages from your contact form.

    You can specify several e-mail addresses separating them with a comma.

    For example: first_email@domain.com, second_email@domain.com, third@domain.com

  -->

<emailTo>info@yourdomain.com</emailTo>

 

<!--

    A server script type which will process sending e-mails. It depends on your

    hosting and in the current version of the contact form it is allowed to use

    two types:  php (Apache, PHP Hosting); asp (IIS web server, ASP).

  -->

<serverProcessorType>php</serverProcessorType>

 

<!--

    A name of the script file which process sending e-mails on your server (without

    extension). The name contact is used by default.

  -->

<serverProcessorFileName>contact</serverProcessorFileName>

 

<!--

    Set whether to validate only required fields (true/false).  The default value is

    true which means the not required fields of your contact form will not be validated.

    For example if the e-mail field of your form is set as not required (imagine it)

    the form will be processed even if the user types in an incorrect e-mail address.

  -->

<validateRequiredOnly>false</validateRequiredOnly>

 

<!--

    Set whether to submit the form when the Enter key is pressed even if the focus is

    not on the Submit button (true/false).

  -->

<submitFormOnEnter>false</submitFormOnEnter>

 

<!--

    Text showing to the user when the form is submitted without any errors.

  -->

<messageSentText>Thank you for your message.</messageSentText>

 

<!--

    Text showing in case the form is not submitted because of a server error.

  -->

<messageSentFailedText>Thank you for your message.</messageSentFailedText>

 

<!--

    Text your visitor will see while waiting till the processing is over.

  -->

<formProcessingText>processing...</formProcessingText>

 

<!--

    Your SMTP server (for ASP only).

  -->

<smtpServer>localhost</smtpServer>

 

<!--

    Your SMTP port (for ASP only).

  -->

<smtpPort>25</smtpPort>

 

<!--

    Set whether to send the message as a plain text (true) or as HTML (false).

  -->

<plainText>false</plainText>

 

<!--

    ID of the input field (in the structure XML file) to use for the “from: ”

    or email to use instead (for example: mailfrom@domainname.com).

  -->

<emailFromSource>2</emailFromSource>

 

<!--

    Subject of the e-mails that will be sent through this contact form or ID of

    the input field (in the structure XML file) to use for the “subject: ” label

    in your e-mail client.

  -->

<subjectSource>Contact Form from your site</subjectSource>

 

<!--

    Validation error messages that are showing to the user when the form fails to

    validate. The form supports different types of validators. You can change the

    text of the error messages the validators produce here.

   

    You can use the {LABEL} keyword in these messages. It will replace it with the

    label value of the field where an error occurs.

  -->

<validationErrorMessages>

   

<!--

    A required field is not filled in.

  -->

<message type="fieldIsRequired">{LABEL} is required.</message>

 

<!--

    The specified e-mail address is incorrect.

  -->

<message type="emailNotValid">{LABEL} - is not valid email address.</message>

 

<!--

    The specified number of characters in a field is less than a required minimum.

  -->

<!--

<!--

    The date has wrong format.

  -->

<message type="dateIsNotValidError">{LABEL} - date has wrong format</message>

 

</validationErrorMessages>

 

</contactFormConfiguration>

From the XML file, it doesn't seems to be very simple 

What exactly is the problem that you are facing with the script?

 

For a simpler contact form, see: PHP email contact form

and

HTML contact form with captcha

I have an swf that uses these 2 xml files to send an email. THe 2nd xml file uses a php script

 

  <!--

          A name of the script file which process sending e-mails on your server (without

          extension). The name contact is used by default.

    -->

  <serverProcessorFileName>contact</serverProcessorFileName>

 

And not sure how to write it to work in conjuction with the xml files.
