Trying to create submit button to e-mail

LaC0saNostra · February 13, 2014

Hello everybody. I am trying to have the form send the information to the specified e-mail:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<title>Edward Schubauer's Web Form</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1> My Personal Web Form</h1>

</div>

<p> I have been working diligently on this website. My portal page has some sample information and my CSS page has different examples of what concepts I have learned. At this point I would greatly appreciate if I could get some feedback on my webpage with the form below for you the user to fill out! Every person that gives me feedback will allow for vital information to improve the experience on this website. As always, your time will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. </p>

Please rate my webpage: <br /> <br />

<input type="radio" name="Rating" id="strongly_dislike"

value="Strongly Dislike" /> Strongly Dislike<br />

<input type="radio" name="Rating" id="dislike"

value="Dislike" /> Dislike<br />

<input type="radio" name="Rating" id="like"

value="Strongly Like" /> Strongly Like<br />

<input type="radio" name="Rating" id="love"

value="Love" /> Love<br /><br />

</form>

</body>

</html>

When I click submit it says:

Error!

Your form does not specify what address to send the email to. Refer to the instructions on using this form-to-email processor in your course assignment. Form element names must match the ones specified in the instructions, and are case sensitive.

How do I fix this issue?

I am trying to add a hidden input element with a name of "CCAddress" and an empty string for the value. I am brand new to HTML and PHP and I thought you can only declare one hidden input element per form?

I want to be able to CC other e-mails in but I am having trouble understanding the correct way to do this. Any further advice?

Nevermind after some tweaking I feel I am almost there:

The problem is it will not send the form information to my e-mail. Where did I go wrong here?

"Hidden" is just a type. The identifier is the name. I doubt it is very commonly needed but you can have various hidden values in one form and give each one a different name.

It looks like in your latest post you changed the value of the forms action, to point to the form page itself, and not the PHP page from your first post.

The error I am getting is:

Error!

You do not have permission to use this script from another URL.

I am very confused at this point and after reading your guys posts
