Hi,

I download this script from sourceforge and i want to edit it, But i m not familiar with HTML or PHP. can anybody help

Html form:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
?http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd?>
<html>
<head>
<title>A simple form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A form</h1>
<form action=?mail.php? method=?post?>
<label for=?theName?>Name:</label><br>
<input type=?text? name=?name? id=?theName?><br>
<label for=?theEmail?>Email Address:</label><br>
<input type=?text? name=?email? id=?theEmail?><br>
<label for=?theMessage?>Message:</label><br>
<textarea name=?message? id=?theMessage?></textarea><br>
<input type=?submit? value=?send?>
</form>
</body>
</html>

mail.php

<?php
//enter the address to send the form to
$toAddress = [email protected]?;
//enter the subject of the email you recieve
$subject = ?Contact from Web?;
//enter the path to the file where the user gets sent to after submitting the form
$thankYou = ?thanks.php?;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
$body = ?
$name
$email
$message?;
mail($toAddress, $subject, $body, ?From: $email?);
header(?Location: $thankYou?);
?>

The HTML form contains fields Name,Email Address and message fields. But i want First Name, Last Name, And Email Address fields instead of that.

Can anybody edit this code. so that i m able to run this script.

There's a typo in the PHP file?

Code:

[COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#0000bb]First Name[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]: [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$firstnn 

Last Name[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]: [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$lastnn

Email Address[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]: [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$email"[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]; 
[/COLOR][/COLOR]

But above that you specified:

Code:

[COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#0000bb]$first [/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]= [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$_REQUEST[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][[/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000]'first'[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]]; 

[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$last [/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]= [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$_REQUEST[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][[/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000]'last'[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]];

[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$email [/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]= [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$_REQUEST[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][[/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000]'email'[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]];
[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Therefore, I believe the correct code should be:

Code:

[COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#0000bb]First Name[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]: [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$first

Last Name[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]: [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$last

Email Address[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]: [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$email"[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700];[/COLOR][/COLOR]

I'll help if you have any troubles; feel free to PM me. I'm just a bit busy right now.

The current PHP script should send an email to the address that you specified, but that's only if the mail() function is enabled by your web host, which normally, it is, unless the company wants to reduce spam. You could try contacting them.

Secondly, to show them a 'Thanks....' page, you could either:

Put ' echo "Thanks for registering!"; ' on the bottom of your PHP file

OR

Do a meta-refresh/redirection to a new page on the bottom of the PHP file.

So how the mail.php file should look like?

Can't test the Thanks things since there is no Submit button.

How can i fix the Submit Button?

And i think my host provide the email thing, got the full script for that?

Thanks.

Code:

<?php 

//enter the address to send the form to 

$toAddress = "[email protected]"; 

//enter the subject of the email you recieve

$subject = "Contact from Web";

//enter the path to the file where the user gets sent to after submitting the form

$thankYou = "thanks.php"; 

$first = $_REQUEST['first']; 

$last = $_REQUEST['last'];

$email = $_REQUEST['email'];

$body = " 

First Name: $first

Last Name: $last

Email Address: $email"; 

mail($toAddress, $subject, $body, "From: $email");

header("Location: $thankYou");

?>

That's the PHP file.

The HTML has quite a few typos. I'll make you a new one in a bit.

Okay, the HTML file:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>A simple form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A form</h1>

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="mail.php">
      <label>First Name:
        <input type="text" name="first" id="first" />
      </label>
      <br />
      <label>Last Name:
        <input type="text" name="last" id="last" />
      </label>
      <br />
  <label>Email Address:
        <input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
      </label>
    <p>
      <label>
        <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
      </label>
    </p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Sorry for the super long delay on reply, I was in the middle of coding something for a client.

LOL!

Sorry, I just realised, the code that was posted before was written on a non-English version of Windows, therefore, the quotation marks were not standard. Here is the proper code:

PHP:

<?php 

//enter the address to send the form to 

$toAddress = "[email protected]"; 

//enter the subject of the email you recieve

$subject = "Contact from Web";

//enter the path to the file where the user gets sent to after submitting the form

$thankYou = "thanks.php"; 

$first = $_REQUEST['first']; 

$last = $_REQUEST['last'];

$email = $_REQUEST['email'];

$body = " 

First Name: $first

Last Name: $last

Email Address: $email"; 

mail($toAddress, $subject, $body, "From: $email");

header("Location: $thankYou");

?>

Also, I see that the 'thank you' page has been put in already.

See the last line that says 'header..... $thankYou'? That means, after accepting the form and sending an email to you, it will redirect you to whatever '$thankYou' equals.

A bit above the last line, you see "$thankYou = 'thanks.php'", that's the file that it will redirect you to after the submission.

You can change that to whatever you want. You don't need a .php file.. You can just have a .html file if you really want.

Thanks Alot!!
Works perfect.
Just one last thing, I want after Submitting the info and pressing on "Submit" A box will pop up Says "Thanks for Submit" With "Ok" option which will close the box and stay on same page, and the boxed will clear.
I dont want to redirect to other thanks.php page.

Hope you can help em with this one

PHP help please
