Re: Mail Form help!

In its most simple of forms with no security you could use


PHP: Select all

//In the php file

<?php

if (!empty($_POST['signUp']) && !empty($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['customerid']) && is_numeric($_POST['customerid']))
{

   
//send the email

 
mail ('youremail@thisdomain.com''This is the subject of the message''Customer ' $_POST['customerid'] . 'has given an email address of : ' $_POST['email']);
}

?>
.......................html file
<form action="url of php file" method="post">
<div align="left">
<img src="pictures/pen2.jpg" alt="" height="70" width="145" border="0">
<br>
<label><font size="2" color="white" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular">b
</font>
<font size="2" color="#021832" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular">Type your email below:</font>
<font size="2" color="#021832"> 
</font>
</label> 
<input type="text" name="email"> 
<input type="hidden" name="customerid" value="46559"> 
<input type="submit" value="SIGN UP" style="background-color:white;color:black;front-weight:bold" name="signUp">
</input>
</div>
</form>
It's pretty simple at its basic level. Create a PHP file with the above code(although I wouldn't recommend using it in its current form) and point the form action at that file.

Assuming your host has php and php mail functions configured, it will send a plain text email to the given address.
