Okay I'm sure you read the title and rolled your eyes, but I can't seem to figure this out - so I need some help. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to php. I've read a bunch of various forums threads (from here and else where), and they've helped some, but I'm still having trouble. From what I understand I know the user needs to find a file from there comp and upload it in the html form, then the file goes to the server, and (what I haven't been able to find/figure out) the file is sent as an attachment in an e-mail.
Right now the html form has 69 inputs that range from text field, text area, radios, checks, and drop downs (all of which work and send to e-mail properly) - some of which are required but not all - and the user must upload at least one photo (with the ability to upload up to six). So, initially I was going to run validators/required fields (and file size limitation) through an external javascript and run it using onsubmit, however reading through the file upload snippets I've seen most of them echo if the file has been uploaded, if it meets requirement sizes etc. Also most of the snippets I've read don't really go over if you have other inputs that need to be passed on to an e-mail, just shows how to for the file. And I need to be able to do this with multiple files, all to the same e-mail.
The action page also immediately redirects the user with the header to a thank you page. Can anyone help me with this? I'm not looking for a hand out, or pre-made scripts/software to do this, I would really like to write this myself, but I'm stuck so perhaps a snippet or link that could help? Below is the php and html.
Here's what I have for the action page (I started a bit with the file upload php part but I was just playing around). Also I'm completely aware that:
$fileField = $_POST['fileField'];
$fileField2 = $_POST['fileField2'];
$fileField3 = $_POST['fileField3'];
$fileField4 = $_POST['fileField4'];
$fileField5 = $_POST['fileField5'];
$fileField6 = $_POST['fileField6'];will not work, I just put it in for a place holder of sorts.
