    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.

    Edit mailer.php , find -

    PHP Code:
    $recipient = "dean@somepeople.net"; 
    and change it to your email address.

    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?
