Hello again everyone..
I have a form with an e-mail input. After the user enters their e-mail, I want to have the content of the form sent to them...
The name of the form textfield for the e-mail is "email".
How could I make this happen in the php script??
thank you!
-l.
You have a submit.php page (or whatever you want to call it) with the code to send the email.
You need to post the variables from your form.
Create a subject variable with your subject in it.
Create a message variable with your message in it.
Then you add the headers, and use the mail script.
Here's an example of a script:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$content = $_POST['message'];
$subject = 'Your Subject Goes Here';
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Email Response</title>
</head>
<body>
From: '.$name.'<br>
Message: '.$message.'
</body>
</html>';
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: '.$email.' <'.$email.'>' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>Hope this is helpful!
thx a lot :) this was helpful...one last thing, I have fields in my form that I want to display in the e-mail. how do I display the fields without using an html message? In other words, what would I place in between the single quotes below if I don't want to send an html message, but just regular text?
$message = ' ';Your message would look like:
$message = ''.$variable1.'\n\n'.$variable2.'\n\n';The "\n" is a single line break, so using two is like adding a paragraph tag.
grab the php variables using post then create a mail function
mail($email, $subject, $message);
I'm having some trouble with the message string..
I keep getting an error when I try to display the variables:
$message = ''.$mondayweek1.'\n\n'.$tuesdayweek1.'\n\n'.$wednesdayweek1.'\n\n'.$thursdayweek1.'\n\n'.$fridayweek1.'\n\n'.$saturdayweek1.'\n\n'.$sundayweek1.'\n\n'.$mondayweek2.'\n\n'.$tuesdayweek2.'\n\n'.$wednesdayweek2.'\n\n'.$thursdayweek2.'\n\n'.$fridayweek2.'\n\n'.$saturdayweek2.'\n\n'.$sundayweek2.'\n\n';Can you find the error in this message code?
