Email Form without Outlook

[moondance]

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="MAILTOoohead@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:

ok cheers i'll give that a try

Cool script pyro. Are there any corporate licences required? Or is it free provided the copyright stays in?

Dave

[pyro]

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.

[DaveSW]

Thanks super moderator!!

[pyro]

No problem...

Cheers!

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

[pyro]

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:

PHP Code:

$forward = 1; # redirect? 1 : yes || 0 : no


try this instead:

PHP Code:

$forward = "1"; # redirect? 1 : yes || 0 : no

Like this? It doesn't work either my line 14 was a blank one! Must have miscounted!

[pyro]

Hmm... why don't you try .zipping the file that you are using, so I can look at it/try it...

[DaveSW]

Ok thanks a lot.
