Hello all,

I am very new at this and am trying to convert this form into an email message that is automatically sent to an email address. I have tried to use PHP to do this and it has not worked. If someone could help me along I would be in your debt. Here is the form that I created in Front Page. Thanks in advance. :)

What do the content of gnfl.php contain? That's where you would collect, validate and then send the results to a specified email address.

You didn't tell the mail function where to send the mail. Plus, you didn't supply correct parameters to the mail function. First is the email recipient, second is the subject line, third is the message body and last, which is optional, is headers, which is used to personalize and enable you to directly reply to the respondent. You'll need to set your headers variable to Emailfrom.


<?php
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo,, "Subject Line Here", $Body, $headers);
?>

Thanks, if there is anything else that doesn't look right then please let me know. I am very new to this and will test tonight when I can get to my ISP server. I may be back, soon. :)

OK, I loaded everything up to the server and now I am getting:

The page cannot be displayed. It is showing my domain name/gnfl.php when I hit the submit button. I made the changes you told me to do and I have gotten along further. Am I missing something else? Thanks in advance and I appreciate the help.

Did you check with your web hosting provider to verify they support PHP?
davisninjas
05-31-2007, 09:55 AM
Yes, PHP is supported. Can you look at the script and amke sure there are no mistakes? Thanks in advance...

Is it giving you errors? If so, what are they? Furthermore, you'll have to provide us with the modified code.
