Website form submit to email?

[rufunky]

I want to create a information form on a web page that on Clicking Submit, all applied info will be sent to my E-mail address.

I am using DreamWeaver CS3.

What is the best way to do this?

The wonderful world of PHP!

Here's a basic PHP Emailer that our own mkeefe put together:

I could not for the life of me figure out how to do that. Is there maybe an online code builder that I could use to copy and paste the code into the page??

[rufunky]

little more help... anyone?? Please

Create or open an HTML page, paste the form

<form method="post" action="contact.php">
<input type="hidden" name="send" value="true" />
<br /><br />
<p>Your Name: <br />
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" />
</p>
<p>Your E-mail:<br />
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" />
</p>
<p>Your Questions/Comments:<br />
<textarea name="message" cols="40" rows="5" id="message"></textarea>
</p>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></p>
</form>

Create a new file, name it "contact.php" and paste the following code:

COPY THE CODE FROM THE LAST CODE BLOCK ON scriptplayground.com. 

This forum is not displaying it properly.

Now modify the $to and $subject variables shown above to match your own needs. Save this file and upload the HTML and PHP file to a web server that supports PHP and mail().

Hope that helps,

Matt

Thanks mkeefe .. You always seem to help me out! I will give this a try at some point this week.

I'm sure I'll have more questions.

I still can't get this form set up right. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Also, how do I make the Text fields bigger??
