Forms, e-mail, php, etc.

Dafydd · January 2, 2007

Hello!

I'm working on a php form that's supposed to send the text written/options chosen in the form boxes as an e-mail. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me a brief explanation of how to make the php form send an email when a certain button is clicked by the visitor. Everything in the form is done - the boxes are there, error messages appear upon clicking "submit" if a box has been left blank, etc. All I need is the e-mail thingy.

Any good links to tutorials on the matter?

<?
$email = $_GET['email'] ;
$message = $_GET['message'] ;
mail( "yourname@example.com", "Email Subject", $message, "From: $email" );
print "Congratulations your email has been sent";
?>

something like that? sendmail()is the php fonction.

The following post contains all of the code for the page. Upon clicking submit, now, what happens is I get a "The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL" error.

I think this code uses asp or something and it's supposed to use php. I'm not sure, but it's something about the server not supporting the script this was written in.

I'm guessing this:

<!--webbot BOT="GeneratedScript" endspan -->
      <form method="POST" name="FrontPage_Form1" action="index.htm" onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)" language="JavaScript" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

is what's causing the problem? The "index.htm" is the file that contains this code, I'm guessing that's a bad idea, but I don't really know what I should put there instead.

       Fyll i formuläret nedan så kontaktar vi dig. Kören tillämpar inträdesprov.
       Vid inträdesprovet sjunger du en sång efter eget val som presenterar din
       röst på ett bra sätt. Om du vill ha pianoackompanjemang går det oftast att
       ordna. Glöm inte att ta med extra noter till ackompanjatören! Ackord- och
       melodigehör testas, likaså notläsning och röstens omfång. Vi avslutar med
       ett ensembleprov (där du tillsammans med tre av körens representanter
       bildar en kvartett) och en kort intervju. Då finns också tillfälle att
       ställa frågor om kören och dess verksamhet.

i just see html and java code? where is the php code in there?

other thing a php code must be contained in a .php file

Sir_NutS · January 17, 2007

do not redirect the form to an html page, otherwise the server won't treat it as php code. Try redirecting it to a php paeg, with the send email code in it.

Dafydd · January 20, 2007

Sounds like a good idea. I'll try that. Thanks!

Though, what is this new php page supposed to contain? The code that doulifee posted in #2? That one doesn't contain a sendmail() though, does it? ... I'm so confused about all this.

EDIT: I got help and it works now. Thanks!
