Submit Button

[jay_zone]

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask for a help with the problem im encountering at the moment regarding with creating a contact page.

Im trying to create a page which the visitors can just fill up the forms then when they cilck on submit button the message they want to send will directly go to the email assigned.

I have tried to test it myself but unfortunately when I click on the submit button, there is a pop up window coming out asking me if I would like to download the file.

here is the sample of the code: for the forms

<form method="post" action="contact.php">
Email: <input name="email" type="text"><br>
Message:<br>
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br>
<input name="Send Email" type="submit" id="Send Email">
</form>

here is the code for the php:

<?php
$to = "example@provider.com";
$subject = "Contact Us";
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }
?>


I just put the example@provider.com to cover up the real email address. And contact.php is saved as php file in the same directory.

An advice is highly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Does your host support php?

Hi thanks,

Im not quit sure, but I think they do.

Freewebtown.com is my provider. Just in case they don't, is there any other way I could do the same project?

Thanks for your help.
