Feedback Form questions

[toddmarx]

Greetings all!

I am working on putting a feedback form onto a website. I can do this with php and email, but I dont want it to go to email, I want it to put info into a database (mysql) I know that I am asking for a lot here, I have searched the forum and found mostly email submitting and not submitting to a database.

I have found a few tutorials on the web that show me how to do it, but none of them work, I get undefined variable messages ie:

Warning: Undefined variable: submit in c:\blah blah blah\test.php on line 2

and the other one I kept getting was something about $PHP_SELF undefined variable error.

From what I saw almost all used the "$PHP_SELF", and I cant get it to work. I understand that this variable is not assigned until the page is processed or something, but why does this error come up and how cant I get this to work. I have also seen adding the "@" sign infron of this, but will that really help, or do I need to resolve the variable problem first?

Oh yea, one more thing. Here is where I think it will get really difficult. Once the post has been made to a database, I need it to send an email notification to a certian email address to let them know.

Thanks in advance,
Todd

Todd the $PHP_SELF you can change it with the name of the page you are sanding the form for exapmle if you use index.php then in place of $PHP_SELF you use index.php
ANd secon thing with email after you sent the
INSERT INTO blah SET

$result = mysql_query($sql);

then

$message .= " EMAil notification.\n\n";

$message .= " Name:".$user_fullname." \n";

$message .= " Blah : ".$file_title."\n";

$message .= " Email: ".$email."\n";

mail("[e-mail]""E mail notification",stripslashes($message),"From: <".$email.">\n");

}
