Contact Form

I made a form using http://www.phpform.org/ but I can't for the life of me write some php that successfully collects all the info and emails it to me. Would love to get some help to stop me pulling m hair out over it - it can't be 'that' complicated?

 

I'd just put the form here for now http://trackcover.com/test/

when you submit that form, all inserted data will be contained in $_POST.

 

Add something like this (just to see the result):

 

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='post'){
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
echo '</pre>';
}

 

you'll be able to see all submitted items and their names. then you access them individually, like this:

 

imagine you have a field called 'username'

echo $_POST['username'];

 

if all you want to do is collect the data and email, you can do something like this:

 

 

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='post'){
$email = 'YOUREMAIL@YOURDOMAIN.COM';
$sub = 'submitted form';
$msg = '';
foreach($_POST as $k=>$v){
$msg .= $k .": ".$v."\n";
}
mail($email,$sub,$msg);
}

 

hope this helps

Thanks a bunch - think I've got my head round it better now and it works great.
