Form handler

[wardenjim]

I am totally ignorant of PHP so forgive me if i am postin this to the wrong forum. I am attempting to set up a form handler that will take the form just as I have created it and send it to a email recipient. I want the email recipient to be able to print it as it looks on the site. If you have dealt with this before and would like to share you knowledge with me I would be very appreciative.

Thanks
Jim

Here's the form handler...

<?
if( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) )
{
	# The email recipient
	$to = '[e-mail]';
	# The subject of the email
	$subject = 'some subject';
	# From whom
	$from = '[e-mail]';

foreach( $_POST as $k => $v )
{
	if( $k != 'submit' )
		$message .= $k . ' = ' . $v . "\n";
}

if( mail( $to, $subject, $message, 'From: ' . $from ) )
	echo 'Thanks.';
else
	echo 'Something went wrong!';
}
?>

Put the form handler into e.g. formhandler.php and when you make the form, be sure the action of the form is the name of the form handler document.

Like...

<form [b]action="formhandler.php"[/b] method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

Then make sure the form button has the name "submit".
