If you need PHP then now's a good time to learn it. I'm here to help people learn, not write code for them. The W3Schools PHP tutorial even has a section about sending e-mail with PHP.

[n7dz]

well the thing is i dont have the time to learn it.

[justsomeguy]

If you need code written then there are plenty of PHP programmers who can use the work. There are plenty of freelancing sites out there. You shouldn't expect someone to do your work for free.

[Techneut]

Yh, like seriously, if only you need to process this why don't you learn it. But if you need help drop me a PM. I wish to help you though.

Ok so i got a php file running on my site but it doesnt seem to be working. heres a link to where i have a contact form http://www.frostcoding.com/current/index.html

also its still a work in progress but if you have any tips on the site let me know but im mainly trying to get the php to work.

[n7dz]

i am using bootstrap

[Ingolme]

We can't see the PHP source code. If it's not working, you'll have to post it here.

[n7dz]

<?php

// Check for empty fields

if(empty($_POST['name']) ||

empty($_POST['email']) ||

empty($_POST['message']) ||

!filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))

{

echo "Thank You and Dont forget to Stop By";

return false;

}

$name = $_POST['name'];

$email_address = $_POST['email'];

$phone = $_POST['phone'];

$message = $_POST['message'];

// Create the email and send the message

$to = 'xdz69x@gmail.com'; // Add your email address inbetween the '' replacing yourname@yourdomain.com - This is where the form will send a message to.

$email_subject = "Website Contact Form: $name";

$email_body = "You have received a new message from your website contact form.nn"."Here are the details:nnName: $namennEmail: $email_addressnnPhone: $phonennMessage:n$message";

$headers = "From: noreply@yahoo.comn"; // This is the email address the generated message will be from. We recommend using something like noreply@yourdomain.com.

$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";

mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);

return true;

?>

None of the form elements have a name attribute, it's not submitting anything with the form.

[n7dz]

how do i fix that?

[Stemar]

First, look in your HTML for something like <input type="..." name="...">. Next step is to change the name form something meaningful. E.g: for the email field use <input type="text" name="email">, for the message use name="message" and so on.

At last go to the PHP code and use the exacly same name between the square brackets in $_POST[' ']

[n7dz]

is their any code lines in my html that i dont need or php?

[n7dz]

thanks for the help so far guys
