Hey,

I have tested this and it seems to work fine.

I would try sending the e-mail to a e-mail address that dosn't do a mx lookup up.

If you need one to try send it to my e-mail address, msn@skateeast.net and i'll let you know here.

Thanks

Chris.

by 99% i meant that i only get 1 field from multiple selection box whether i select 1 field or i select all the field, i only get 1 field in my email, please mention me how can i get rid of this problem and make my form fully working.

aircooled57 · March 26, 2008

i dont think that type of box i supposed to send more than one query at a time,i may be wrong, i would suggest using radio buttons perhaps

try that?

btw im a php noob and that was my first crack at building a contact form using php,anyhowz i hope the code has helped you get your form up and running

saiinch · March 26, 2008

yes, thank you friend, with your and a other guy on this forum's help i got my form working thanks to both of you.

saiinch · March 28, 2008

my form is working 99% but now i am having only one problem with my form this is the PHP code i am using

<?php
  $name = $_POST['name'] ;
  $email = $_POST['email'] ;
  $message = $_POST['message'] ;
  $phone = $_POST['phone'] ;
  $inquiry=$_POST['inquiry'];
  $inquiry=@implode(",",$inquiry);
  $phone=@implode(",",$phone);

$finalmessage='Inquiry For : '.$inquiry.' <br> '.$phone.'<br>'. $message;

  mail( "me@mynewdomain", "Inquiry from my website.",
    $finalmessage, "From: $email" );
   



$respond_subject = "Thank you for contacting us!";


$respond_message = "Hello!

Thank you for contacting us! We will get back to you
as soon as possible!

Yours sincerely,

Manager Sales & Marketing
Mywebsite name
";

mail($email, $respond_subject, $respond_message);
header( "Location: http://MyThankYouPage" );
?>

my problem is with the autoresponder, the email which is being send with autoresponder is being delivered like this:

this i get in my inbox main page

<?php (Nobody 	Thu, 12:12 pm 	  	Thank you for contacting us!)

Subject:   	Thank you for contacting us!

Date:   	Thu, March 27, 2008 12:12 pm
To:   	       name@domain.com
Priority:   	Normal
Options:   	View Full Header | View Printable Version  | Download this as a file ?>
