when u submit or click on download js function just like in following example http://www.w3schools...ax_database.asp and put the validation and alert message whatever u want to set. and if all goes well then send the data for mailing function in php just like in example from above link ===>> xmlhttp.open("GET","mail.php?q="+str,true);(q as a paramete to send mail) and then in mail.php u can do whatever u want to do. or give him link instead of table in above example.

try checking for errors in your PHP code.

 error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); 

add some echo statements, anything. Try chipping away it piece by piece. I only wrote this code off the top of my head. It should only be something small to fix, but it is important to be able to know what the problem is first.

echo "<script>\n";		echo 'var str = \"download\"' . "\n";		echo "document.write(str.link(\"http://www.myshedplans.com/12BY8SHED.pdf\"));\n";		echo "</script>\n";

will be

echo "<script type='text/javascript>\n";		echo 'var str = \"download\"' . "\n";		echo "document.write(str.link(\"http://www.myshedplans.com/12BY8SHED.pdf\"));\n";		echo "</script>\n";

you are missing type attribute in one of your script tag

i think you required php_ajax just look at this example: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_database.asp

this is not enough

if(isset($_POST['cf_name'],$_POST['cf_email'],$_POST['cf_message']))

by virtue of the form being submitted, even with empty values, they will all be isset. i.e. "" will pass the isset check. At the very minimum the OP would want to use !empty(XXX) for each POST param, since an empty("") will return true. Probably what would be even better is if the OP validated the clients information client side to prevent the user from submitting an empty form. In the event the JS is turned off, have a failsafe on the server side as well. i.e.

<?phpif(!empty($_POST['cf_name']) && !empty($_POST['cf_email']) && !empty($_POST['cf_message'])){  $field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];  $field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];  $field_message = $_POST['cf_message'];  $mail_to = 'dedalusonline@yahoo.com';  $subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;  $body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";  $body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";  $body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;  $headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";  $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";  $mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);  if ($mail_status) {	echo "<script>\n";	echo 'var str = \"download\"' . "\n";	echo "document.write(str.link(\"http://www.myshedplans.com/12BY8SHED.pdf\"));\n";	echo "</script>\n";  }else {	echo  "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">";	echo  "alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to gordon@template-help.com');";	echo  "window.location = 'contact_page.html';";	echo "</script>";  }}else{  echo  "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">";   echo  "alert('Please fill out the entire form');";  echo  "window.location = 'contact_page.html';";  echo "</script>";};?>

what exactly u want after filling details and after clicking download buttonand what exactly u want without filling details and clicking on download button.

try this=><?phpif(isset($_POST['cf_name'],$_POST['cf_email'],$_POST['cf_message'])){$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];$field_message = $_POST['cf_message']; $mail_to = 'dedalusonline@yahoo.com';$subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);if ($mail_status) { echo "<script>\n"; echo 'var str = \"download\"' . "\n"; echo "document.write(str.link(\"http://www.myshedplans.com/12BY8SHED.pdf\"));\n"; echo "</script>\n";}}else{ echo "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">"; echo "alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to gordon@template-help.com');"; echo "window.location = 'contact_page.html';"; echo "</script>";}?>

I've created some if / else statements to get a download when a user hit click jf he fields name and email but doesn"t work for my site http://my-easy-woodw...ng-projects.com because it is do download without field name and email contact.php is

<?php$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];$field_message = $_POST['cf_message'];$mail_to = 'dedalusonline@yahoo.com';$subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);if ($mail_status) {	echo "<script>\n";	echo 'var str = \"download\"' . "\n";	echo "document.write(str.link(\"http://www.myshedplans.com/12BY8SHED.pdf\"));\n";	echo "</script>\n";}else {	echo  "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">";	echo  "alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to gordon@template-help.com');";	echo  "window.location = 'contact_page.html';";	echo "</script>";}?>
