This is a very simple tutorial, yet work like a charm and does all the things it needs to do. First of all, here's the code:
<?
$subject = $_POST [ 'subject' ]; // This is will be the subject of the email
$email = $_POST [ 'email' ];
$comments = $_POST [ 'comments' ];
$submit = $_POST [ 'submit' ];
if( $submit )
{
// Replace name@host.com with your email address!
mail ( "name@host.com" , "$subject" , "$email" , "$comments" );
}
?> |
Save it as contact.php
Lets break it down. The variables gather the information from the forms and make it a cleaner code. The if($submit) tells the mail(); function that it can send the email. It helps to keep it from sending annonymous emails to your email address.
You have to change the name@host.com to your email address to be able to get the email from the user. The rest is fine do not change, unless you need to.
Now for the forms!
<form method="post" action="contact.php">
Subject:<br />
<input type="text" name="subject" size="20"><br />
Email:<br /><input type="text" name="email" size="20"><br />
Comments:<br /><textarea cols="20" rows="5" name="comment"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value=" Submit "> </form> |
which will produce the following
Subject:
Email:
Comments:
