Re: [PHP] email form results
Assemble all of your data into the message body (see $message below) and mail it to yourself. How you trigger this processing and the call to the mail() function depends on how you've constructed your logic. $message .= $name .\n; $message .= $phone . \n; $message .= $email; mail( [EMAIL PROTECTED], Free Trial Request, $message, From: $email ); One logic construct is for the form's ACTION to call itself, like so: IF $email is NOT set display the form and to record the information ELSEIF test for critical fields being empty displaying a message if they are and a reload button ELSE to the code above display Thanks we'll be in touch, or whatever.

If that's not enabled on your server, and can't be, but you have access to an SMTP server somewhere, http://phpclasses.org/ has several fine PHP mailing objects. Oh, and you may want to read the PHP FAQ, especially the part about using $_POST to snatch all the POST data in a few lines of code.

[PHP] Re: PHP Email Form
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... Hi I have an online email form but I can't get the text layout the same as the layout someone types in the text Area, here is the final bit of code: $message = stripslashes($message); $message = htmlentities($message); $message = nl2br($message); $from=From: $email; $to= [EMAIL PROTECTED]; mail($to,$subject,$message,$from); Basicly the problem is if someone puts a new line in the text area this appears as BR /. example: Hi, this is a test would end up Hi, br / this is a test. Any help please? Take out the nl2br - that's only for html -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi!
