PHP Code:

<form action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" method="post" name="form1" onSubmit="MM_validateForm('name','','R','email','','NisEmail','message','','R');return document.MM_returnValue">

      <table width="435"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

          <td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

              <tr align="left" valign="top">

                <td width="232"><table width="175"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

                    <tr>

                      <td height="18" align="left" valign="top" class="style6"><strong>Name:</strong></td>

                    </tr>

                    <tr>

                      <td height="31" align="left" valign="top" class="style6"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" style="width:175px; height:18px; font-family:tahoma; font-size:11px;"></td>

                      <td align="left" valign="top" class="style6"><input name="tel" type="text" id="tel" style="width:175px; height:18px; font-family:tahoma; font-size:11px "></td>

                    </tr>

                </table></td>

                    <tr>

                      <td height="17" align="left" valign="top" class="style6"><strong>Message:</strong></td>

                    </tr>

                    <tr>

                      <td height="27" align="left" valign="top" class="style6"><textarea name="message" cols="10" rows="10" id="message" style="width:203px; height:118px; font-family:tahoma; font-size:11px; overflow:auto"></textarea></td>

                    </tr>

                </table></td>

              </tr>

          </table></td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

          <td height="23" align="right" valign="bottom">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

            <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Send"></td>

        </tr>

      </table>

      <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1">

    </form>

PHP Code:

$youremail = 'example@example.com';

$subject = 'Contact form';



if (isset($_POST))

{

      $str = '';

       

      foreach ($_POST as $key => $val)

      {

           $str .= ucfirst($key) .': '. $val ."\n";

      }



      mail($youremail, $subject, $str, 'From: "'. $yourmail .'" <'. $yourmail .'>');

} 

Untested but should work.

cool thanks for that, where abouts in my code should that go? and will that get the email, tel, and comment aswell and put it in the email?
cheers

This code should be placed in whatever <?php echo $editFormAction; ?> outputs.
And yes, every POST data that is sent to the page will be submitted.

[godonholiday]

sorry do you mean that the code goes inside this code <?php echo $editFormAction; ?>

or anywhere after it?

thansk

When you see the form in your browser, what does it say instead of "<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>"? There should be a filename. Add the code above in this page.

it doesnt say anything instead of that, it says that. my coade is above. thats all i have to work with. im not sure what you mean by a filename?

thanks again

The form is submitted to a page. In your case in the code above the form points to a php variable.

PHP Code:

<form action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>"

$editFormAction should contain the filename to which the form is submitted. You will see what the variable contains when you "echo" it. Go to the page on your server where this form here is and have a look at the source code. What does it say where the <?php echo $editFormAction; ?> is?
