Im having form issues.

**Eternity** · 05-06-2005 03:30 PM

I started off with this

<FORM ACTION="mailto:xXx_Eternity_xXx@hotmail.com" enctype="text/plain" METHOD="post">
<input type="hidden" name="To" value="your subject for email">

<TEXTAREA NAME="COMMENTS" ROWS="6" COLS="50" ></TEXTAREA>

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Press Me!" NAME="OK">
<INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Clear" NAME="CANCEL">

</FORM>

and then realised that a.) if users dont have mail programmes configured they have problems, and b.) it doesnt seem to work from this computer atall- ya click submit and, it brings up a blank new email for ya to type in. Dunno why that is?
Anyone any ideas

Im told ya can do this through your cgi bin, but I dunno how, someone point me to a decent tutorial? Or explain it to me? Please? I'lll give ya a cookie...

I took what you had and put in PHP to get it to send

just fill in xxxx@xxx.com to where you want it to go I put //Replace to whewe you need to change

and then name it with .php file ext

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>

<body>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><?php
if ($submit) {
if (!$comments)
{
$error = "<br>   <h2>Sorry! leave a message!</h2><br>\n";
}
else {
mail("xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com", // Replace
"needs Form -xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com", //Replace
"
form1 Form -
xxxxxxx.com //Replace
Comment message:
$comments

",
"From: xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com\nReply-To: //Replace
xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com\n"); //Replace
echo "<br><br><br><br> 
<b>Thank you for telling us your Concerns and needs, $textfield!<br> We will reply to it asap.</b>
<br><br><br>\n";
}
}
if (!$submit || $error) {
echo $error;
// display form
?>
<table width="99%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><font size="2">  </font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="391" valign="top">

</tr>
