FORM HELP

Anonymous · 29th March 2003, 06:28 AM

ops:

I hope that someone will be able to help me or point me in the right direction.

I am currently building a form that needs to go to email. THe problem is, the information that ends up in my inbox looks NOTHIng like the form and the information is all out of order.

What I would like is either

A) The information to come into my email looking exactly like the form

B) the information to come into my email as an attachment - looking exactly like it did when inputed into the form.

If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

I think it is easier for me if I just post here :wink:

Are you using any scripts to send the email to you or just plain HTML (<form action="mailto:you@yourdomain.com" method="post">)?

just plain HTML. I'm currently looking for a script or something that will help me do what I want, but I'm not having much luck. Any help would be apreciated!

Ok, do you have PHP installed on your server? Do you have an scriptiong language on your sever?

Also, it might be a good idea if you register. It will notify you of replies :wink:

I beleive I PHP installed, I am having this hosted by Verizon - I am not positive what is there.

http://novaresearchonline.com/samples/csr.html - the form in question

I have been looking around for a CGi that would help me keep the form in this format when it goes to email - but haven't had any luck finding anything.

OK, here's a simple script I've wrote up. Call it something like submit.php and in the form on csr.html you need to add <form method="POST" action="submit.php" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

Code:

&lt;?php
// Subject of email
$your_subject = "Contact Form";

// Write your email address
$your_email = "you@yourdomain.com";

// This is the the text that will be sent to you.
$inside_mail = "

Name: $Name
Code: $Code
Phone Number: $Phone_Number
Email Address: $Email_Address
Building: $Building
Room Number: $Room_Number
Date of Service Request: $Date_of_Service_Request
Nature Of Problem: $Nature_Of_Problem

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 SENDER INFO:
 IP: $REMOTE_ADDR
 Browser Type: $HTTP_USER_AGENT
 Page Referer: $HTTP_REFERER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
";

// This is the part that sends your email
@mail($your_email, $your_subject, $inside_mail, "From: \"$Name\"&lt;$Email_Address>\r\nReply-To: 	$Email_Address\r\nX-Sender:$Name using $Email_Address\r\nReturn-Path: $Email_Address");

// This is the thank you message
echo "&lt;p align=\"justify\">Thanks for contactin us!";

?>

Just edit the code a bit with your subject name and email.

Hope that helps!

I went ahead and used the code you posted and I am having a problem.

http://novaresearchonline.com/samples/csr2.html - location of form with your code.

I did everything as you said and it is telling me that it cannot find the page I am referencing - and it's there.

Any suggestions?

P.S. Thank you for the help so far!

I just noticed in FrontPage that it is telling me there is a problem with this chunk of code and I am not familiar enough to notice the problem.

// This is the part that sends your email
@mail($your_email, $your_subject, $inside_mail, "From: \"$Name\"<$Email_Address>\r\nReply-To: $Email_Address\r\nX-Sender:$Name using $Email_Address\r\nReturn-Path: $Email_Address");

// This is the thank you message
echo "<p align=\"justify\">Thanks for contactin us!";

?>

The part that is larger is the part that frontpage is indicating there is a problem.

Any help you could offer is appreciated!
