Re: Here is the code

i assume you wanna get the form via email? thescript below will give
you a text-formatted email, listing all fields and the given values.


if (isset($_POST['Send']))


$to = 'you@email.com';
$subject = 'Request from Website';

$myEmail = "A new request was sent:\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
$myEmail .= $key.". ".$value."\n";

mail ($to, $subject, $myEmail);
?>

i would do such validation too - but john asked only for a way to
transfer the data :-)

i wouldn't realize the validation, emailing and form in one single
page, i would create a simple html-file containing the form and
nothing else, a small validation-class and a class to create the
email. it's never a good idea to mix html- and php-code i think.

Can you write out how I would do validation in the code?


Thanks for all of the help so far.




Also I tried this and named it mail.php:



if (isset($_POST['Send']))
{

$to = 'primster7@gmail.com';
$subject = 'Request from Website';

$myEmail = "A new request was sent:\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
$myEmail .= $key.". ".$value."\n";

mail ($to, $subject, $myEmail);
}
?>


with the } line but it didn't send me the email.



I have this for the form:



class="cssform" action="mail.php" method="post">

Re: Here is the code

you need to add a "name='xxxxx'" to every form-field, as i did in my
example.
does the script run on windows or *nix? if on windows, you need to
add the mailserver-information to php.ini.

to validate the form-data you've only to do things like strip_tags,
addslashes, check for forbidden signs.
