Email Form help...

AAFDesign

I want to create an email form through PHP. I have uploaded the feedback.html file, as well as the PHP processing file (sendmail.php) to my host. However, I keep getting an error once I try to send the form on my site.

Here is a link to my site: http://www.premierentals.com/Misc/feedback.html

The error message is below:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /Misc/feedback.html.

Apache/1.3.29 Server at premierentals.com Port 80

Also, I have pasted the code from my 2 pages below. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

feedback.html

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

<form method="post" action="feedback.html">
Email:
<input name="email" type="text" /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40">
</textarea><br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

sendmail.php

<?
$email = $REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $REQUEST['message'] ;

mail( "name@mydomain.com", "Feedback Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.premierentals.com/thankyou.html" );
?>

Thank you.

use this


<? 

$email = $_POST['email'] ; 
$message = $_POST['message'] ; 

mail( "name@mydomain.com", "Feedback Form Results", 
$message, "From: $email" ); 
header( "Location: [url]http://www.premierentals.com/thankyou.html[/url]" ); 
?>

Thank you for your quick response. I pasted the code you suggested, but my form still does not work. I am getting the same error message:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /Misc/feedback.html.

Apache/1.3.29 Server at premierentals.com Port 80

What else might I be doing wrong? Is there a certain folder where I need to place my 2 pages (feedback.html & sendmail.php) within my directory. For example, should I place them in the "cgi-bin"?. Again, here is the code I am working off.

feedback.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

</body>
</html>

sendmail.php
<?

$email = $POST['email'] ;

$message = $POST['message'] ;

mail( "info@premierentals.com", "Feedback Form Results",

$message, "From: $email" );

header( "Location: <a href="http://www.premierentals.com/thankyou.html" target="_blank">http://www.premierentals.com/thankyou.html</a>" );
?>

Your file is named feedback.html and is posting to itself. there is not way it is going to sendmail.php. and htm cannot handle posts (as far as i know). ur error desc also says some thing like that.
you cud try some thing like this
this file is named feedback.php and submits to itself

<? 
if (sizeof($_POST))
{
	$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; 
	$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; 

mail( "info@premierentals.com","Feedback Form Results",$message, "From: $email" ); 
header( "Location: [url]http://www.premierentals.com/thankyou.html[/url]" ); 
}
?> 
<html> 
<head> 
<title>Untitled Document</title> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> 
</head> 

<body> 

<form method="post" action="feedback.php"> 
Email: 
<input name="email" type="text" /><br /> 
Message:<br /> 
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"> 
</textarea><br /> 
<input type="submit" /> 
</form> 


</body> 
</html>

hopefully this helps u a bit.

opps i missed that your form action must be sendmail.php

like your feedback.html will be


<html> 
<head> 
<title>Untitled Document</title> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> 
</head> 

<body> 

<form method="post" action="sendmail.php"> 
Email: 
<input name="email" type="text" /><br /> 
Message:<br /> 
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"> 
</textarea><br /> 
<input type="submit" nam= = "submit" value = "Submit/> 
</form> 


</body> 
</html>

and your sendmail.php would turn out to be


<?  

$email = $_POST['email'] ;  

$message = $_POST['message'] ;  

mail( "name@mydomain.com", "Feedback Form Results",  

$message, "From: $email" );  

header( "Location:[url]http://www.premierentals.com/thankyou.html[/url]); 
?>

if you want the page to submit to itselp Pallavi's code would do the trick for you
