nesting html in a contact form email.

[james13009]

Im am still trying to master this, all i want to do is:

 

1: Person fills out an online form

2: Form gets emailed to me

--(which i can do)--

3: All i want now is for this form to included some html for example a picture, so i can just print it off.

 

I been told i need to echo it but am unsure on how to do this because the message is encapsulated the the varible $message. Im sure this is simple but im just having trouble please help.

 

Right my code: This is just the contact form i am using

<table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td><strong>Contact Form </strong></td>
</tr>
</table>

<table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td><form name="form1" method="post" action="send_contact.php">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td width="16%">Subject</td>
<td width="2%">:</td>
<td width="82%"><input name="subject" type="text" id="subject" size="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Detail</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><textarea name="detail" cols="50" rows="4" id="detail"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="customer_mail" type="text" id="customer_mail" size="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

 

 

 

 

And now for the script;

 

 

############### Code

<?php
// Contact subject
$subject ="$subject"; 
// Details
$message="$detail"; 

// Mail of sender
$mail_from="$customer_mail"; 
// From 
$header="from: $name <$mail_from>"; 

// Enter your email address
$to ='someone@somewhere.com'; 

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

// Check, if message sent to your email 
// display message "We've recived your information"
if($send_contact){
echo "We've recived your contact information";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>

 

Many thanks

James

$header="from: $name <$mail_from>\r\n"; 
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html\r\n charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
// Enter your email address
$to ='someone@somewhere.com'; 

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

Ok dude, i can solve it for you, it took me a while to actually figure it out myself but attached is the code for the page that your contact page will email it's entries to, there are a few requirements though, which are to download PHPMailer, and to view the emailss you recieve correctly justt make sure that the program you use to manage your emails automatically downloads the images.

 

<?php

require("class.phpmailer.php");

$arremails='addy@host.com';

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "smtp.server.com"; // SMTP server

$mail->From = "addy@host.com";
$mail->AddAddress($arremails); 

$mail->Subject = "Subject";
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Body = "<center><table width='400' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
  <tr> 
    <td><table width='100%' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
			<tr>
				<td> </td>
				<td>Your First Name:</td>
				<td> </td>
				<td>$_POST[First_Name]</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td> </td>
				<td>Your Last Name:</td>
				<td> </td>
				<td>$_POST[Last_Name]</td>
			</tr>
      </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>";

if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "<script language=JavaScript>window.location='mailfail.html'</script><br>";
} else {
  echo "<script language=JavaScript>window.location='thankyou.html'</script><br>";
};
?>
