Contact problem

[Ash]

I borrowed this code from Phate's website I hope you don't mind if you doi'll just delete it. But How do I make it so I get the email instead of him?

Code: Select all


   <form method="post">
   Your Email: <br><input type="text" name="email" size="20" /><br /> <P>

   Subject: <br><input type="text" name="subject" size="20" /><br /> <P>
   Message: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=30 name="message"></textarea><br />
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Contact Me!" />

You made me laugh with that. Thanks.

Have a read of this - obviously you'll have to change a few things, but you get the idea.. I hope.

Ok I don't have a clue about php where do I edit?

[php]<?php

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

$to = "your@email.com";
$subject = "Registration to newsletter";
$message = $_POST['email'];
mail($to, $subject, $message);

echo "You are now registered to the newsletter!";

} else { ?>

<form method="post">
Your e-mail address: <input type="text" name="email" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send the mail" />

<?php } ?>[/php]

[webmaster]

Change: your@email.com to your own e-mail

Change:

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="email" />

To:

Code: Select all

<textarea name="email"></textarea>

And it should work fine.

or you could use this:

Code: Select all

   <form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="post">
   Your Email: <input type="text" name="email" size="20" /><br />
   Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" size="20" /><br />
   Message: <textarea rows=5 cols=30 name="message"></textarea><br />
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Contact Me!" />

<?

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

$email = $_POST['email'];

   $to = "your@email.com";
   $subject = $_POST['subject'];
   $message = str_replace(array("\\","Content-Type:","bcc:","cc:","MIME-Version:",
"Content-Transfer-Encoding:","%"),"",$_POST['message']);
   mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $email\n");
   echo "Thanks";
}

?>


Save that in the same php page or rename the forms action to a page with the php on it. Wallah!

That never worked It's just for emailing links to me so I can upload renders onto a website should I just use a mailto: ?

[Protege]

which one didn't work? The both of them should...

[Ash]

Ok Razz's one never worked as it gave me loads of text I never wanted and when I used yours I ended up with this. I hate freewebs.

http://www.freewebs.com/corrosiongfx/Request.htm

Is there anyother way I could try it out like a different web host?

Firstly, when I had a look at your source code, you've forgot the end php tag

Code: Select all

<!-- Content --><br><br>

<blockquote><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#000000"><strong>

   Message: <textarea rows=5 cols=30 name="message"></textarea><br />
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Contact Me!" />

<?

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

$email = $_POST['email'];

   $to = "your@email.com";
   $subject = $_POST['subject'];
   $message = str_replace(array("\\","Content-Type:","bcc:","cc:","MIME-Version:",
"Content-Transfer-Encoding:","%"),"",$_POST['message']);
   mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $email\n");

..And you can't run PHP on a html page..rename it to request.php

[Ash]

You can't do that with freewebs so I just used a normal mailto: I may try it if I .com the website.
