Mailto with thank you page

[thetwig]

Hey guys, when I do a normal mailto button, it works fine, but I have to use a form if I want to display a thank you/your message has been received page..... right? So once I do this, the subject and the body doesnt appear the way I want it to... only the can anyone tell me what I'm doin wrong?

 

<form action="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Request%20for%20Action&body=Name:%0D%0AUnit:%0D%0APhone:%0D%0A%0D%0ARequest%20for%20Action:%0D%0A" onsubmit="actionTq.html">
   <input type="submit" value="Request for Action" /><br /><br />
</form>

really confusing... why dont try this way..let say u use POST method

 

 

<form action="actionTq.html" method="post">

<input name="email" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $email;?>"> ===> pass the value

  <input type="submit" value="Request for Action" />

</form>

 

then when submit button is being clicked, then

 

go to actionTq.html

 

use

$to=$_POST['email'];

$subject="xxx";

$body="xxx";

$header="xxxx";

$header.="Content-type: text/html r\n";

$message="xxxxx";

 

if(mailto($to,$subject,$message,$header))

{

  echo "Alright, your message has been successfully sent";

}

else

{

  echo "Oops error occured!";

}

 

okay hope that helps

hey robert, thanks for the tips... but I'm really confused as to what you are doing.. is there any way i can avoid using php? but if php is the only way to do it, then can you explain the code, esp the actual emailing part.. "mailto($to...)"

thnx agen... and sorry for the noobage..
