HTML - Php Contact Form Issue. Can You Help?
Hi Everyone!
Having a little issue with getting a contact form to function properly. I only tinker around with html and web design as a whole, but I will try to expain my issue and not sound too lame. I am trying to add a contact form to a website i modified for a band. The contact form is simple, Name, email, and submit. However, the template utilizes a second html page embedded within the main page as a whole. check out www.alttheory.com to see what I mean. The area in the upper Right hand area where I am attempting to put this form. It is a separate html page called iframe.html. At the code's current position, the submit button is not doing anything at this point. The code that a friend sent me who has no problem getting it to work on his site is he <div id="apDiv1"> <form action="sendmail.php" method="post"> <p><img src="images/contentemail.png" width="137" height="26" /> <input name="email" type="text" /> <img src="images/contactmessage.png" width="169" height="25" /> <textarea name="message" cols="24" rows="8" id="name"></textarea> <input name="submit" type="image" src="/images/contactsubmit.png" width="100" height="33"/> </p> I then place the sendmail.php in the main directory which is also supposed to work, after changing the send to email to my own and create and specify the thanks.html page. the sendmail.php code i am trying to use is he <?php $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; mail( "myemail@mail.com", "Feedback Form Results", $message, "From: $email" ); header( "Location: http://www.band.com/thankyou.html" ); ?> Can anyone see what I am doing wrong and offer some guidance? Any help would be much appreciated. thanks. Best, Bill Similar TutorialsHello guru's, I have created a contact form on the website, but i dont know how to send the information that the users has typed to my email address What code do i need to type? I want to be able to have three boxes that a visitor can enter input and it be emailed to me. For example: Name - (Visitor types in name) Email - (Visitor types in email) Question - (Visitor types in question) Than they hit Submit and it is emailed to me. I have found code that uses Outlook to do it, but I want it to do it through the website. I'm new to this so I'm going to post the template I found and then hopefully someone can make it right. Will upload two text files first is the contact page its an html file. the other is the contact script as a php file. Sorry if this has been brought up before but i've been trying now for about 6 hours. Thank you Bill Ruiter I would like someone to help me get the email form on the html page working.

Many Thanks, Narc Hello everyone, I know this might sound easy but I can't remember how to do this. Does anyone know how to send information from a simple form by hitting the submit button and I should be able to view the data in my domain email? I guess you can say I can check my email and the name, email and message form fields would displayed. I've created the form, form fields and the buttons in dreamweaver. I'm not sure if the enctype is ="multipart/form-data" I've done this before in front page. it come out as a web bot but i cant remember how this works in dreamweaver. I hope I haven't confused anyone. Please reply if you know what I'm talking about. Thank you. Here is the code below from my contact.html page: <form action="thankyou.asp" method="post" enctype="text/plain" name="contactform" target="_blank"> <span class="formstitle">Name:</span><br> <input name="textfield" type="text" class="formstitle2" size="30" maxlength="30"> <br> <br> <span class="formstitle">Email:</span><br> <input class="formstitle2" name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30" maxlength="30"> <br> <br> <span class="formstitle">Message:</span><br> <textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="4" class="formstitle2" id="message"></textarea> <br> <br> <input name="Submit" type="image" value="Submit" src="images/submit.gif" alt="submit" width="56" height="28"> <input type="image" src="images/clear.gif" alt="clear" width="56" height="28"> <br> </form> Hello, I am working on a contact page and was wondering if someone could help me with the following. I have created my form in html already with minor look changes in css (nothing big). I would like to write a javascript that will first validate the manditory fields (Name, email, and the message) after which it will compile all entered data into a popup/new page that JUST shows the information to be copy and pasted to an email; then later sent off. For example if someone enters their name, email, location and message, the javascript will accept the form due to all the mandatory fields being present, and then depending on what the user input in the input fields, it will output something like the following on a new page or window: COPY AND PASTE BELOW THIS LINE --------------------------------------------------- Name: So and So Email: name@email.com Location: Country Message: Message is whatever length. --------------------------------------------------- I do have basic java knowledge so im not a total newbie. Thank you for all help; hope this isnt too daunting a task for you all. Just a little insight needed. Thanks again, -Alim Hi guys, i'm here with another question, I need to make a contact form for my website, I posted this at html section but i'm not sure, some people say it's html, some php some say it's both... So I googled a bit and all I find are things like this: Code: <form method="post" action="mailto:youremail@email.com"> <textarea rows="5" cols="20" wrap="physical" name="comments"> Enter Comments Here </textarea> <input type="submit" value="Send Email"> </form> This just opens windows live mail..I want to people just click a button "send email" and it sends to my email, nothing more...not this confusions...i've been googling and I find nothing, so I want to talk to the experts, which are you guys I'm trying to create a form for my website that will email me the information when submitted. I don't know if this can be done in HTML. I cant use PHP on my forum so it cant be that. The other option i have is one coded in JavaScript. Anyone know where i can either get a html or JavaScript code for such a thing please. Thanks Jake Not sure if this is the right place but I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I'm trying to make an option on my contact form that when you click it, it affects whether you have to enter the other fields or drop-down box. For example and simply put, if someone clicked the box labeled 'red', then it would be required for them to fill out the box that says 'explain your choice'. However if they do not click red, then they do not need to fill out the 'explain your choice' box... How do I do this? Is there a name for it? Thanks for any help Hi I want to add a CAPTCHA to my contact form as i have been getting hit badly by spammers was wondering if any one could give me some advice or script on how to do that....thanks in advance ................................................................................................. i bought this template and going well, but i am stuck with the contact page, i want the user to be able to fill the contact form and send it to my mailbox.. yes i have tried it myself and also build my own contact.php .

I have encountered a small problem though. I am trying to make a contact form for the 'Contact us' page. As in one of those little forms with a few text boxes for the users own details and a bigger text field for a message which will then be sent to a specified email address when a submit button is pressed. The code that came with the template is as follows: HTML Code: <article> <div class="content"> <form action="" id="contacts-form"> <fieldset> <div class="grid_7 alpha"> <label><input type="text" value="Name:" onfocus="if(this.value=='Name:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Name:';"/></label> <label><input type="text" value="E-mail:" onfocus="if(this.value=='E-mail:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='E-mail:';"/></label> <label><input type="text" value="State:" onfocus="if(this.value=='State:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='State:';"/></label> <label><input type="text" value="Fax:" onfocus="if(this.value=='Fax:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Fax:';"/></label> </div> <div class="grid_8 omega"> <textarea onfocus="if(this.value=='Message:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Message:';">Message:</textarea> <div class="wrapper"> <a href="#" class="button" onclick="document.getElementById('contacts-form').submit()">Submit</a><a href="#" class="button" onclick="document.getElementById('contacts-form').reset()">clear</a> </div> </div> </fieldset> </form> </div> </article> Problem is that nothing happens when i click submit. I am told that in the 3rd line of code where it says form action= that i should put mailto:address but that didn't work. Can someone please help me figure out this code so when the submit button is pressed, a message is actually sent? Thanks in advance, Josh Howdy everyone, I've been lurking HTMLForum for awhile and now I have a problem that I cannot find in the forums... So I downloaded an html/css template for a website i was working on and it has a nice contact form but I cannot figure out how to get it to send me the emails when a user fills it out. The website is http://www.piperroofingandvinylsidin...contactus.html (my family's company). code: <h3>Contact Form</h3> <div id="cp_contact_form"> <form method="post" name="contact" action="#"> <label for="author">Name:</label> <input name="author" type="text" class="input_field" id="author" maxlength="60" /> <div class="cleaner_h10"></div> <label for="email">Email:</label> <input name="email" type="text" class="input_field" id="email" maxlength="60" /> <div class="cleaner_h10"></div> <label for="subject">Phone:</label> <input name="subject" type="text" class="input_field" id="subject" maxlength="60" /> <div class="cleaner_h10"></div> <label for="text">Message:</label> <textarea id="text" name="text" rows="0" cols="0" class="required"></textarea> <div class="cleaner_h10"></div> <input type="submit" class="submit_btn float_l" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send" /> <input type="reset" class="submit_btn float_r" name="reset" id="reset" value="Reset" /> </form> </div> </div> I appreciate everyone's time - Happy HTML'ing! Hi, Lookign for a good soruce for a contact/support form. I have a simple contact form but now i want to add some validation checks.
