PHP Form to send sender an email?

[gribble]

Firstly. let me say I am not wired for this coding business but the following is a generated form that works for me but I require additional code so the respondent automatically receives an email with a message (their email address appears in a field on the form)...

PHP: Select all

<?php
// Website Contact Form Generator 
// http://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/contact_form/ 
// This script is free to use as long as you

// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom'])); 
$EmailTo = "donations@evolutionrevolution.co.nz";
$Subject = "Donation";
$Address = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['FullName']));
$Address = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Address'])); 
$Phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phone'])); 
$OneOffDonation = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['OneOffDonation'])); 
$RegularDonation = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['RegularDonation'])); 
$Investor = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Investor'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "FullName: ";
$Body .= $FullName;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Address: ";
$Body .= $Address;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phone: ";
$Body .= $Phone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "OneOffDonation: ";
$Body .= $OneOffDonation;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "RegularDonation: ";
$Body .= $RegularDonation;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Investor: ";
$Body .= $Investor;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=ok.htm\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>

Please help!

Many thanks

Please explain "require additional code so the respondent automatically receives an email with a message".

If you want help, please be clear about what you're asking or people won't bother helping you.

I felt I had been very clear. Which part confuses you?

Just so I can be clearer in future forum discussion.

I have solved this anyway by cutting and pasting some script I found elsewhere on the web.

well, this confused me:
"require additional code so the 1.respondent automatically receives an 2.email with a message".

1. respondent: the person who filled in the form or the email address the form is being sent to?
2. 'an email with a message': don't need to explain that one!

If you want help, be very very clear. or people switch off when reading your post and move on to the next thread. Long sentences are hard to follow, so instead of...

...I require additional code so the respondent automatically receives an email with a message (their email address appears in a field on the form)...

I would have done this...

A fills the form and submits it
the contents are sent as an email to B
I want A to receive an automatic confirmation saying:
"Hi A, got your message, thanks!!!!!!!!"

But never mind! perhaps I was just being slow and the important thing is that you've got it working...

If it makes you feel better, spinal, I really didn't understand what was being asked either.

ok, phew! I thought I was alone....
