This question has been asked on here before, but i need something slightly different.
I want to post this form. Nice and simple, nothing complex about it. I don't want outlook express to mail it though; i want it to be sent directly. I know that i need PHP to do this. But i DON'T want a reply or confirmation automatically sent back to the sender or anything like that, just to simply post it without using OExpress.
Heres my form:
<form action="MAILTO:poohead@poofarm.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<p>Your Name: </p>
<input TYPE="text" NAME="persons-name" SIZE="40" MAXLENGTH="40">
<p>Subject: </p>
<input TYPE="text" NAME="persons-name" SIZE="40" MAXLENGTH="40">
<br>
<p>Comments: </p>
<textarea NAME="comments" ROWS="5" COLS="30"></textarea>
<br>
<center><input TYPE="submit" NAME="Request" VALUE=" Send "></center>
</form>
If anyone knows the PHP for this i'd appreciate it.
Any help will be rewarded in heaven. Remember - jesus loves you.
Here is the PHP that I use for this:

Cool script pyro. Are there any corporate licences required? Or is it free provided the copyright stays in?
Dave
Hmmm... corporate licencing, now there is an idea. ;) Seriously, go ahead and use it, just leave the copyright, and don't start passing it around like it's yours. :D

I keep getting this error
Parse error: parse error in /homepages/40/d73801884/htdocs/form/phpmail.php on line 14
When I use the code as on this link.
http://www.emdevelopments.co.uk/form/form.htm
How exactly should I insert it (never used php before)? Should it be a .php file targeted in the form action, or pasted at the top of the page and saved (the html) as a .php file? If the second option, what is the form action?
dave
Post the script that you are using (with your changes) Also, you just make a php page and then link to it with your forms action (first method)

Alright... which line out of all that is line 14? If it is this one:
$forward = 1; # redirect? 1 : yes || 0 : no
try this instead:
$forward = "1"; # redirect? 1 : yes || 0 : no

Like this? It doesn't work either :( my line 14 was a blank one! Must have miscounted!
Hmm... why don't you try .zipping the file that you are using, so I can look at it/try it...

Ok thanks a lot.
I think the problem is the way you saved the file. What program did you use to do that? Anyway, here's my original script again... Try opening with notepad and making your changes in that... The reason I think this, is because I was able to move the error to the next line by simply deleting all the spaces that were there are re-adding them.

That worked thanks. I used notepad, but it appeared diferently - the formatting must have been lost when it was posted on the forum.
Thanks o Super Moderator! :D
Ok, I figured that was what it was... I was hoping that it wasn't one of the finicky things with my script... lol. Anyway, glad it's working for you!
Cheers!
