    Email form

    How do I insert this in the html? Do I insert it in "before tag", "inside body tag" or "between head tag"?

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Succesfully processed your email</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <H2>Thanks for your email!</H2>

    <?PHP
    $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
    $mailto = "lct@lctfinejewelers.com;
    $mailsubj = "Email";
    $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>
    </HEAD>

    I can't figure this out because there is the <HTML> <HEAD> at the top and </BODY> <HEAD> at the end of this insert and it seems that would be aduplication of the original html and it may cause confusion. I have also inserted the statcount in between the body tag already. Please give me instruction. Thanks.

    Just copy the PHP script and ignore all the default HTML stuff:
    Place this code in 'Beginnig of body':

    <?PHP
    $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
    $mailto = "lct@lctfinejewelers.com;
    $mailsubj = "Email";
    $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);
    ?>

      }
      mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
      ?>

      does this work for any form as i can't seem to get it to work!
      do i need to set up a PHP file?

          I have read this and done as described but it's not working for me.

          i've copied the script in notepad
          called it feedback
          uploaded it to file manager
          which did nothing - copied feedback to public_html file
          now when submitted just displays the script text

          what am i doing wrong?

            Did you give it the extension .PHP?
            Did you correctly setup your form to use the file?

            Change the form properties (in BlueVoda) to:
            Action: FEEDBACK.PHP
            Method: POST
            EncodingType:
            (remove the text/plain, so the field becomes empty)

            Now create a new file using Notepad and call it: feedback.php
            Enter the following code into the file:
            <HTML>
            <HEAD>
            <TITLE>Thank you for your feedback</TITLE>
            </HEAD>
            <BODY>
            <H2>Thank you for your feedback!</H2>
            <?PHP
            $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
            $mailto = "feedback@yourdomain.com";
            $mailsubj = "Feedback 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>
            </HEAD>

              this is what is in my feedback.php file:
              <HTML>
              <HEAD>
              <TITLE>Thank you for your feedback&lt;/TITLE>
              </HEAD>
              <BODY>
              <H2>Thank you for your feedback!&lt;/H2>
              <?PHP
              $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
              $mailto = "dean023****.com";
              $mailsubj = "Feedback 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>
              </HEAD>

              i've changed the email address to mine but thats the only change.

              when i saved the file i just called it FEEDBACK and the .php was added because of what file it was selected. this has been save in my public_html file is that the right place?

              If i saved it as FEEDBACK.PHP it was saved as FEEDBACK.PHP.txt
              which didn't came up as page not found. so i presume the first was correct.
              but when i submit it opens up a blank page and thats it.

              The tutorials are geared up for selling this product and makes everything so simple but now i've joined nothing seems straight forward without some knowledge.

                First of all this script has nothing to do with BlueVoda and is provided for support purposes only. It is created to work around bugs and design flaws in 3rd party products. The script is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. However it seems to work for most of the users.

                It MUST have the .php externsion not .txt or .php.txt
                Please replace all
                &lt;

                  many thanks for you help it is appreciated. I'm just very fustrated and believe if i can't do the simpliest of tasks then i'm not going to achieve my web site for the use of selling things. I just don't seem to be able to anything.

                  i've uploaded the zip file of cubecart and it won't extract the contents.

                  i'll change the &lt; now and give it ago

                  thanks again

                          Ooops again! I posted the message in the wrong forum. Okay, Pablo, How do I upload the feedback.php in the domain from the notepad. As I was saying in the other forum, you look like the guy in the movie, Matrix, but Sarah sure looks better than you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
