Very Simple Form
I have honestly read the tutorials at least three times each for forms. Building it is quite easy. But processing it to mail to your email is a different story.
I am confused about the property page of the form. Where it asks for Name and Value: What exactly goes there?
I have the form on my Contacs page and I uploaded a page: Contacts.php to the public_html folder.
The form properties I have listed are; Acton: Contacts.php - Method: Post - Encoding: Field Empty (as instructed by tutorial.)
But clicking submit just takes me to a "Page Not Found" message.
Is there somewhere else the script is to be embedded?
I've included the script I am using. I simply copied it from one of the tutorials and edited it for my site. It only has three values: Name, email and Comments.
It's the last element I need for this very basic site.
Appreciate any help.
