i assume you wanna get the form via email? thescript below will give
you a text-formatted email, listing all fields and the given values.

<?php

if (isset($_POST['Send']))


$to = 'you@email.com';
$subject = 'Request from Website';

$myEmail = "A new request was sent:\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
$myEmail .= $key.". ".$value."\n";

mail ($to, $subject, $myEmail);
?>

<form class="cssform" action="<? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
<p>
<label for="user">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="user" id="user" value="" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="emailaddress">Email Address:</label>
<input type="text" name="emailadress" id="emailaddress"
value="" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="phone">Phone Number:</label>
<input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" value="" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="call">Best Time To Call:</label>
Morning:
<input type="radio" name="call" />
Afternoon:
<input type="radio" name="call" />
Night
<input type="radio" name="call" />
</p>
<p><label for="call">Subject:</label>
<select name="web">
<option selected value="Quote">Quote</option>
<option value="Tech Support">Tech Support</option>
</option>
</select>
<br><br><br>
<p><label for="comments">Comments:</label>
<textarea name="comments" rows="" cols=""></textarea>

<div style="margin-left: 150px;">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Send" />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="Reset" />
</div>

You will need a { after the if and a } after the mail().

I would do some validation of the POST data before sending possibly
malicious data to myself.

Note that Lammi added name="xxx" to the input tags (you cannot use just
id="xxx" they aren't the same thing).

Also, he added a value for the action attribute of the form, though
using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is no longer considered a good idea due to
XSS exploits.

of course he need, my fault. sorry.

i would do such validation too - but john asked only for a way to
transfer the data :-)

i wouldn't realize the validation, emailing and form in one single
page, i would create a simple html-file containing the form and
nothing else, a small validation-class and a class to create the
email. it's never a good idea to mix html- and php-code i think.

Can you write out how I would do validation in the code?


Thanks for all of the help so far.




Also I tried this and named it mail.php:


<?php

if (isset($_POST['Send']))
{

$to = 'primster7@gmail.com';
$subject = 'Request from Website';

$myEmail = "A new request was sent:\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
$myEmail .= $key.". ".$value."\n";

mail ($to, $subject, $myEmail);
}
?>


with the } line but it didn't send me the email.



I have this for the form:



<form
class="cssform" action="mail.php" method="post">
<p>
<label for="user">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="user" value="" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="emailaddress">Email Address:</label>
<input type="text" id="emailaddress" value="" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="phone">Phone Number:</label>
<input type="text" id="phone" value="" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="call">Best Time To Call:</label>
Morning:
<input type="radio" name="call" />
Afternoon:
<input type="radio" name="call" />
Night
<input type="radio" name="call" />
</p>
<p><label for="call">Subject:</label>
<select name="web">
<option value="">Website Quote</option>
<option selected value="">Tech Support</option>
</option>
</select>
<br><br><br>
<p><label for="comments">Comments:</label>
<textarea name="comments" rows="" cols=""></textarea>


<div style="margin-left: 150px;">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" />
</div>
</form>

[Lammi]

you need to add a "name='xxxxx'" to every form-field, as i did in my
example.
does the script run on windows or *nix? if on windows, you need to
add the mailserver-information to php.ini.

to validate the form-data you've only to do things like strip_tags,
addslashes, check for forbidden signs.
