I need some php help once again

[Ash]

What I want to do is to have a entry form so people can fill in details and a send button so it gets sent to my email. I know it can be done but don't know how. Any help would be great.

Hi Ash,

So you would like a simple form that users have to complete and then press the send button to be sent to your email?

I`m a bit surprised you dont know this im sure you had helped me out previously.

anyway just for clarification visit this link, have a look at it and let me know if that is what you require and i will help you out. Its a simple questionnaire form.

I am such a noob on PHP and am clueless on Razz's post so here goes.

I am going to have the form so someone fills it out as an application to be affiliated then it get sent to my email but only if all the fields have text in. I also want it to close the window down within say 7/8 seconds if the user does not do it themselves.

[webmaster]

The 7-8 second closedown should be done with JavaScript, and it will only work if your form is in a popup window.

There are some other ways of doing it too, but they're way to complicaded I guess.

Here's a code. you can change "Field 1", "Field 2" and up to "Field 5" in both places they appear. But do not change "field-1" to "field-5".

[php]<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "your@mail.com";
$subject = "Subject of the mail you'll get."

$message = "Here are some info that was sent from your site:\n";

$message .= "\nField 1: " . $_POST['field-1'];
$message .= "\nField 2: " . $_POST['field-2'];
$message .= "\nField 3: " . $_POST['field-3'];
$message .= "\nField 4: " . $_POST['field-4'];
$message .= "\nField 5: " . $_POST['field-5'];

mail($to, $subject, $message);

echo "Your mail has been sent!";

} else { ?>

<form method="post">

Field 1: <input type="text" name="field-1" /><br />
Field 2: <input type="text" name="field-2" /><br />
Field 3: <input type="text" name="field-3" /><br />
Field 4: <input type="text" name="field-4" /><br />
Field 5: <input type="text" name="field-5" /><br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send the mail" />

<?php } ?>[/php]

Ok it's in there and I decided to try it on myself but I never got a reply.
This is the code I used is it right:
[php]<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "potnoodlerehabforme@googlemail.com";
$subject = "Subject of the mail you'll get."

$message = "Here are some info that was sent from your site:\n";

$message .= "\nField 1: " . $_POST['field-1'];
$message .= "\nField 2: " . $_POST['field-2'];
$message .= "\nField 3: " . $_POST['field-3'];
$message .= "\nField 4: " . $_POST['field-4'];
$message .= "\nField 5: " . $_POST['field-5'];

mail($to, $subject, $message);

echo "Your mail has been sent!";

} else { ?>

<form method="post">

Your name: <br /><input type="text" name="field-1" /><br />
Your websites name:<br /> <input type="text" name="field-2" /><br />
Your affiliates code:<br /> <input type="text" name="field-3" /><br />
Your email:<br /> <input type="text" name="field-4" /><br />
Why you want to become affiliated with me:<br /> <input type="text" name="field-5" width="100" height="100" /><br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send the mail" />[/php]

[webmaster]

Try this:

[php]<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "potnoodlerehabforme@googlemail.com";
$subject = "Subject of the mail you'll get."

$message = "Here are some info that was sent from your site:\n";

$message .= "\nField 1: " . $_POST['field-1'];
$message .= "\nField 2: " . $_POST['field-2'];
$message .= "\nField 3: " . $_POST['field-3'];
$message .= "\nField 4: " . $_POST['field-4'];
$message .= "\nField 5: " . $_POST['field-5'];

mail($to, $subject, $message);

echo "Your mail has been sent!";

} else { ?>

<form method="post">

Your name: <br /><input type="text" name="field-1" /><br />
Your websites name:<br /> <input type="text" name="field-2" /><br />
Your affiliates code:<br /> <input type="text" name="field-3" /><br />
Your email:<br /> <input type="text" name="field-4" /><br />
Why you want to become affiliated with me:<br /><textarea name="field-5" style="width:100px;height:100px;"></textarea><br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send the mail" />

</form>

}

?>[/php]

[Ash]

Is it supposed to show a message that says that the email has been sent? if so it don't. Also may it not work because it's not been uploaded to a FTP host yet?

[johneva]

Yeah if it is not on a server with PHP installed yet then no it wont work yet.
