Submit Buttons [in forms]
Okay, I am making a simple website and I have a form all made up and everything. The only thing I can not figure out is how to make the submit button mail the form contents to me. I have the button but when you click it nothing happens. Please help me out.

You'll need to post some code or a link to the site. (It's kinda hard to troubleshoot without seeing what you have now......)

What form processor did you choose? CGI, ASP, PHP - or are you using the mailto: command?

Well you have no form tags. Check with whatever hosting company to see what they support, formmail, ASP, PHP, etc

Okay i think i understand this but here is what I need help with
<form action="mailer.php" method="post">
that line...
In the action what do I put to get it to just email all the stuff to an email address of mine?
I tried doing the mailto: tag but it opens a new mail message but the contents I entered on the page do not appear in the body.Last edited by ZIonsWrath; 11-11-2003 at 11:15 AM.

okay i put the mailer.php in the action part, made a new document, put that 1 line of code saved it as mailer.php and i get this error message
Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /zionswrath/wdb/Weapons Database/mailer.php.
Apache/1.3.27 Server at homepage.mac.com Port 81
Obviously I did something wrong, but what?
[I put the site online temporarily so I could test it because browsing it on my computer it would just show me the folder that contained the php file]

to start with, mailer.php should be the entire script detailed in the post I linked to. You just amend that script to send to your email. On its own, that line wont do anything.

Okay I did that and i still ge the same error:
Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /zionswrath/wdb/Weapons Database/mailer.php.
Apache/1.3.27 Server at homepage.mac.com Port 81
Here is the mailer.php script I am using:
<?
// Filename: mailer.php
// Generic Emailer
// Default Settings
$redirect = "My_thank_you_page.html";
// First, detects whether info is received via form -
$recipient = "zionswrath@mac.com";
$subject = "Advertising on WDB";
$from = "From: My Website Emailer";
$email = "
";
$data = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
foreach($data as $k => $v) {
$k = stripcslashes($k);
$v = stripcslashes($v);
$email .= "\n$k : $v";
}
mail($recipient, $subject, $email, $from);
header("Location: $redirect");
?>
The problem seems to be not in the script but in the form tag. For the "method" tag I have "post" which gives me the error message above and when I put send it makes me download the actual mailer.php
Sorry for not undertstanding how to do this and troubling you =[

This is not your fault, by the look of it.
this seems to be a problem with your host, it does not allow the HTTP method POST, or the fact that it is a |PHP script. Does your host allow php?If one of our members helps you, please click the icon to add to their reputation!
