[RESOLVED] simple contact form - I can't make it work.......

SimplyBea

Hi guys

I am NEW - like still trying to understand how the simplest scripts work.........

I am limited to learning on my own because I live in a really remote location but reading the books and tutorials is not really working out for me.......

I have tried looking at lots of scripts but I end up being really confused......

Can I ask for assistance please??

At the moment, I am battling with trying to set up a simple email form on my website - the form looks okay (I think) but I don't know how to get it to work....... :o

the link is http://simplybea.com/contact.html

I just can't understand where I have to go to "receive" the mail........
:o :o :o :o

Yeah - it is THAT bad.......

sigh

ANY help would be VERY much appreciated.........

my email is bea.on.ki@gmail.com

Thanks
Bea

This is my php page.................

<?php
//create short variable names
$name=$POST['name'];
$email=$POST['email'];
$feedback=$_POST['message'];

$toaddress = 'bea@simplybea.com';
$subject = 'Feedback from web site';
$mailcontent = 'Customer name: '.$name."\n"
.'Customer email: '.$email."\n"
."Customer comments: \n".$message."\n";
$fromaddress = 'From: myaddress@yahoo.com';

mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromaddress);
?>

ummmmmmm

I just worked it out........ :o

Sorry guys but it was that simple - I just didn't understand where I went wrong.......

JUST in case there is someone as raw as I am at this....... with Yahoo (maybe all webhosts?) you HAVE to use a dedicated email address from the domain itself.....

Sorry........... but I AM GLAD i SORTED that OUT !!!!

Thanks anyway
🙁
