Forms...................................

[gamersplace]

Hi! Could someone edit this feedback form so it'll be sent to:
gamersplace@tiscali.co.uk
I really can't do forms! Anyways here the code I'm using:

Code: Select all

<form action="?page=contact" method="post" name="emailform">
          <table align="center" border="0" class="windowbg">
            <tr> 
              <td>Your name:</td>
              <td><input type="text" size="24" name="name" value=""></td>
            </tr>
            <tr> 
              <td>Your email:</td>
              <td><input type="text" size="24" name="email" value=""></td>
            </tr>
            <tr> 
              <td>Comments:</td>
              <td><textarea name="message">Comments Here</textarea></td>
            </tr>
            <tr> 
              <td></td>
              <td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send"> <input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset"></td>
            </tr>
          </table>
</form>

Thanks!

Change this line to:

<input type="hidden" value="Type your subject here:" name="subject">
<input type="hidden" value="gamersplace@tiscali.co.uk" name="recipient">
<input type="hidden" value="reply from site" name="title">
<input type="hidden" value="type the URL of the page you want them taken too after they hit the submit button here" name="redirect"></td>



<input type="submit" name="submitButtonName" value="Whatever you want button to say">


Thats all you should have to do. if it doesnt work let me know and I will just make you one and explain to you exactly what I did as I go line by line. Hope that helps you!

That will send the data, but in raw format... So spaces will be replaced with + signs and any symbols are replaced with character codes! It's pretty unreadable!

O right cos i use a ASP script to process it now but thanks i wondered what that does

[Smokie]

you need a form processing script, either an asp page or formmail.pl

Look at the FAQ's on your hosting companies website, the answer should be in there.

Thanks for posting that smokie, I didnt think about telling him that... Also, if you have Frontpage, try using that. It will do it all for you!!! Unless your hosting company doesnt have Frontpage support, then your forms wont work.
