Mail()

[tazgalsinh]

i have this form

<form name="form" action="http://www.**********.com/mail.php" method="get">
  <input type="text" name="q" />
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search" />
</form>

All i wanna do is basically when the mail script is ran, the contents of the text box to be the contents of the email.

The varible is saved as 'q'

<?php
mail("[e-mail]", "My Subject", "Text");
?>

[Jeauxr]

<?php

mail("whateveryousaid","YourSubject","$_GET['q']");

?>

when i run that script it doesn't work

[Jeauxr]

I didn't mean to put $_GET['q'] in quotations... Just remove those and it will work.

cheers, thats great

[tazgalsinh]

one more question, when the user clicks the submit button, how can i just get it to stay on that page instead of going to the mail.php page but still runing that script?

[Jeauxr]

I think you can just use:

include("mail.php");

then for the action, you can put <?=$PHP_SELF?>

Although, I may be wrong.

well, if you use the header() fucntion to redirect, the user will have gon from one page so fast that it wont be noticable...

or a window that pops up...
put the form tag like this

<form whatever here target="_blank">
