Please watch this tutorial on setting up basic forms. It should give you all the information you need. There is another after it too. http://www.vodahost.com/DemoDemo/bvt..._basicform.htm

This type of mail-to form is independent and does not require an opening of ones e-mail program to send a message.
Post back if you have any questions.

Re: How do I add an e-mail page on my web site

Hi Andy
thanks for the step by step tutorial you gave me and I followed is as best I could however I published the 2 pages, the Contact page with no problem but when I click on the submit button it is not going into my email page, which is working with my domain email address, and my thank you page. I have published my thank you page successfully. I have not made a link on my home page to my thank you page only to my contact page. When I look in the FTP it shows thankyou.php and contact.html which is what you said it should show so what am I doing wrong...?? When I publish my thank you page should it be published with htm?. I am a bit confused having the two pages, since I don't have a clue what I am doing and I am not experienced in creating a website you are helping me lots...
Many Thanks
Cheryl

Cheryl-
You are quite welcome.

Post your URL and I will have a look at it. Until then, double check these;

1. Is your submit button inside the form?
2. Is the form action set to your thankyou.php?
3. Did you name the field(element) that you have them put their E-mail address ( email ) and not e-mail

Cheryly-

Your contact page is setp up perfect. The thankyou.php is not found. I have a feeling that you saved it as a text or something. Open notepad and open your Thankyou page. Click save as. Now go down to where you see "Save as type" and open that box and sellect "all files". Then where it asks you to name the file inthe "file name" box type-
thankyou.php and save it in your BV folder somwhere. Now "X" out that and go to the BV webbuilding program and open it- choose a blank page.
Now open and connect via the FTP Manager. Click on your thankyou.php file and upload it to your public_html folder.

That should be it and take care of the problem. If you wish- cilck on my profile and send me the thankyou.php file and I will have a look at it also.
But I feel that the only problem is that it wasn't saved as a php file.

Cheers (post back if need help )

Cheryl-

Disregard my last post as I was thinking of the FIELD VALIDATION
tutorial which has a seperate php page.

But it is fairly the same. Your thankyou page where you put the php script in the "Body Tag" needs to be saved as php. So- click on page properties and select the extension as php. Save-close and publish.

I believe this may take care of the problem. IF not - post back as I will be up late tonight and will help all I can.

Sorry to have confused you with the other post.

Web address didn't work when I went to look at it. Is it right?

Re: How do I add an e-mail page on my web site

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get some help. Everything seems to be setup right, but it doesnt send the email.

This is my current website: http://www.cobrasbistro.com/contact.html

my contact.php has:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Succesfully processed your order</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H2>Thanks for your order!</H2>
 
<?PHP
    $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
    $mailto = "*************.com";
    $mailsubj = "Testing Contact Form";
    $mailhead = "From: $email\n";
    reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
    $mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
    while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
    {
        $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
     }
    mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
