Forms Passing To Email

nmercer

Hey Guys,

I've got two different forms (as you will see below) and I'm trying to have an email sent out to a specific email upon the post action being completed and I'm drawing a brain fart, especially concerning the drop down menus.

Please Help! 🙂

Form 1:

<p align="center">(Fields marked with <span style="color:red">*</span> are required.)</p>
<form id="contact-form" name="contact-form" method="post" action="[B]unsure[/B]">
<fieldset>
<legend>Personal Information</legend>
<table>

<td align="left"><label for="first_name">First Name <span style="color:red">*</span></label></td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="first_name" value="" id="first_name" style="width:320px;" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="last_name">Last Name <span style="color:red">*</span></label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="last_name" value="" id="last_name" style="width:320px;" /> </td>
</tr></table>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact information</legend>

What is the specific problem?

What part of the code you have written is not working?

What were you hoping/intending it to do, and what does your code actually do? Is there an error/parse error that you receive?

Are you going to post your code?

Hey, first off, thanks for your response.

The code is showing how I have the forms programmed currently.

I need to be able to have them filled out and then sent a specific email address and I'm unaware of how to do this. I know how to pass variables for text boxes, but those drop down menus and checkboxes have me at a loss.

Have you read how the mail() function works?

Here is Hudzilla's book, and the specific section on handling forms with a PHP script: http://hudzilla.org/phpwiki/index.php?title=HTML_forms

Make sure to read about the PHP isset() function, too, to make sure a value is set before you try to use it in your script...

Here is a link to a php email tutorial: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/130/0.php

Hope that helps.
