Sending HTML form through email

[Builder38]

I made a HTML form and I want to send it to my mail without using the "mailto:" stuff. But I can only find a way to send a PHP Form to my e-mail.

I'm trying to send it to another page, that will send it to my e-mail. But not sure how to do that with a HTML form.

Any help is appreciated. 🙂

www.php.net
mail(); function

also note the headers. In order to send an HTML page you have to have the correct content-type.

But won't I need to have PHP in my form? I'm trying to keep my page where the contact form is ".html".

Thanks 🙂

use mail() to send the form contents:

mail("[e-mail]",$_POST['subject'],$_POST['message']);

you can also trigger and send a message at any time:

if ($blah==true) {
  mail("[e-mail]","blah!","It's true!");
}

You can keep the contact from .html.

For Example:

<form action="process.php" method="POST">

</form>

That is perfect html and is acceptable. Now the prcoess.php does your mailing part.

If you do not want to use php at all...well then look at JScript. I do not think it is possible to send mail without something more powerful than htm and jscript.

Thanks for the replys!

I did that, but I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/mernexc/public_html/send.php on line 3

Heres the form:

<form name="contactForm" method="post" action="http://mernex.com/send.php">
<input name="user" type="hidden" id="user" value="Fewski"><input name="formid" type="hidden" id="formid" value="38088">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
  <td colspan="2"><a1><b>Name:</a></a1></td>
</tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Tahoma">
  <input name="1" type="text" id="q[1]" value="" size="50" maxlength="" class="fieldstyle">
</font></p>
    </td></tr><tr>

  <td colspan="2"><a1><b><b>Email:</a></b></a1></td>
</tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Tahoma">

    </td></tr><tr>
<td colspan="2"><a1><b>Attention:</b></a1></td>
</tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Tahoma">
  <select name="select">
      <option>General Support</option>

  <option>Technical Support</option>
  <option>Billing & Support</option>
  </select>
</font></p>
    </td>
</tr><tr></tr><tr>
   <td colspan="2"><a1><b>Body:</b></a1></td>
</tr><tr><td colspan="2"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial"><textarea name="4" cols="50" rows="5" class="fieldstyle"></textarea></font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><hr size="1"></td></tr>

<tr><td colspan="2"><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"> </td>
</tr>
</table></td></tr></table></form>

Heres the send.php:

<?php

 mail("[e-mail]",$_POST['1'],$_POST['2']$_POST['select']$_POST['4']); 

?>

Not sure why I get that?

Thanks 🙂

Because you're jamming variables together without anything to say why.

$_POST['1'].$_POST['select'].$_POST['4']

But you'd probably want to format it a bit more prettily than that.
