Re: Click Submit->Send PM

No, I have a website... Hosted by IP...
I created a HTML order form, I want it so that when someone comes to my site, they fill out the form and when they click submit it will send it to me in a PM

kind of like the "mailto:example1@exapmle4.com" function
only this doesnt work because anyone who doesnt have the program Outlook Express installed it wont let them send it, and it doesnt send automatically...

So i was just wondering if anyone knew what the code was so that after the customer hit "submit" the form content would be sent to me in a PM

Well this is not strictly Icy Phoenix related...

Anyway, if I understood, look if this could go for you (it's very rough, just to give you the idea

Quote:

form.php

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
Code: [Download] [Show]
<?
$message =" $message_html";
$subject = "Message - $nick_self sent you a message";
$to="yourmail <mail@mail.com>";

mail($to, $subject, $message);

echo "Message sent.";

?>

form.html

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
Code: [Download] [Show]

<html>
<head>
<title>TITLE</title>
</head>
<body>

<form name="form" method="post" action="form.php">

Nick: <input name="nick_self" type="text" id="nick_self">
<br/><br/>
<textarea name="text" id="message_html"></textarea>
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send">

</form>
</body>
</html>

You can find many examples of php mail function on the net, if you really can't succeed, try again here, someone will help

Re: Click Submit->Send PM

Yes, I knew this isnt really IP related, but I figured i might as well ask here and see if anyone has the answer, or can point me in the right direction seeing as there seems to be many intelligent helpful people on here =]

Thank you for replying and getting these codes...
This is what I currently have set up, on one of the forms (i made a few different copies to try different mail things to get it to send better) but maybe I typed something wrong, very possible =P LOL, but i will use these and see if it works
Thanks for the reply =]

And i did try to find the mail thing on the web, but for some reason the one that everyone kept suggesting was the mailto: function...

Well thanks again for the help

Re: Click Submit->Send PM

Hey, I had everything working properly, I submitted the form numerous times with many different orders and it worked every time.
So then I got an idea to try to make it cooler after i submitted it... well my idea didnt work so i restored it to what it was the first time when it was working (i copied the code somewhere else to it was saved exactly). After I put in the original code again and refreshed the file into the FTP so that the site would recognize it I tried to order something and the form came back to me blank. all of a sudden the reference things in the code, like $Name and $Quantity and stuff, aren't working. In my subject line i put "Order Form From $Name", this worked before, but now for some reason it isnt working.

Do you know why this might be?

but when it has "name" or "id" it doesnt work either way...

It's strange, I tested it with the "name" tag and fields were not blank anymore.

Glad you solved. Did you figure out what the problem was?

Re: Click Submit->Send PM

Well originally i had it labeled "name"
--that didn't work

Then i changed it to "id"
--that didn't work

Then i changed it back to "name"
--that didn't work

So i kept it as "name" for a day and sent myself like 13 forms throughout the day
Then the next day i set them to "id" and, again, left it for a day and sent a bunch of the forms...
Then the next day i set it back to "name" and it worked...

So im still confused as to why it wasnt workin
but im not gonna argue, its working now and i got other projects im workin on too, so im just happy it works now
