Quick question..

[smokekills]

I'm having a hard time creating a html code.

I want it to include like "field 1" and "field 2", like the example below.

Name: Bern
Email: [e-mail]

I want the script to include the "name" and "email" input field and attach that info and send it to my email, and once the user clicks submit it takes them to my page that says "thanks for sending the email" but how do I code that?

thanks in advance

You might want to look up google for this. Just type in "email form HTML" (without the quotes)

Also this thread should be in the coding request board.

You're going to need more than HTML for a form to automatically send an email... Try also Googling "PHP email script".

Well I know of one that works and seeing as how I am on my laptop, I can post the HTML. It works, but not as secure as the PHP script. Which is why you don't use your main email address.




<form name="Name of Form" action="mailto:[e-mail]" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

First box name<br>

<input type="text" name="username" value="" size="20"><br>

second box name<br>

<input type="text" name="email" value="" size="20"><br>

third box name<br>

<input type="text" name="comment" value="" size="40"><br>

fourth box name<br>

<input type="text" name="htmlcode" value="" size="40"><br>



<br />

<input type="submit" value="Send"> <input type="reset" value="Reset"></form>

That would open your default mail client and put the information they typed in there. It doesn't seem much different from just putting a mailto link on the page. Also, there are plenty of people who don't have something configured to send the e-mail. To them, such a form would be very misleading. However, for his purposes, it's probably the closest he can get without using any server-side-scripting.
