    Embedding a form on an existing webpage?

    Hello

    My URL is www.benefitplace.biz. I would like to, if possible, to created a small form on my home page for people to: opt-in, add their email address,
    and click send. If this is possible, do I save the whole home page as php? Do I still create a success and error page?

    Thanks (If this was answered in a previous thread, I cannot find the question or the answer)

    only page with Form need to be published in php.
    you can create success page,
    error page not needed if you validate the fields to make them required before Submit.

      Thanks, But ...?

      I will publish the home page, that includes the form, to php! Is a "success" page required? I'd prefer that the party submitting their email not be directed from the home page that includes the form?

      Thanks again!

        in that case, then no need to create and direct to success page.
        Just click Send and done.

          Usually best to confirm that the message has been or not been successfully. You can just put a link on the success page back to the home page.
          Remember to also delete the html version of your home page on the server as the SE's will find this 1st & not your new index.php page.
          Regards Chris.

            It is MANDATORY that you set a page as "success" page. If you don't want it to be a separate page, you can always set "index.php" as "success" page, so users are redirected to the same page after form submission.

            However, as Chris said, it would be nice that your visitor sees a confirmation page, to make sure his submissioan has actually taken place.

            A solution that suits both needs:

            Create a success page with a message like "Thank you for signing up. You will e recieving out newsletter soon. You are now being redirected back to our homepage" etc.

            Then set in that page a redirect in the success page that will redirect the user back to the home page after, say, 5 or 10 seconds.

                Go to page properties on the success page
                Choose the tab Misc
                Redirect to internal page
                provide the correct URL
                Set the redirect delay:5-10 sec
                press OK
                and republish
                That's it

                  Here another way of doing using an I Frame http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/blu...ther-page.html

                  Yes I've suggested you can use this idea on multiple pages, but it can be just your home page if you wish.

                  If you test my contact page http://www.dcwebsolutions.co.uk/contact_us.php the success page is returned in the IFrame
