I have spent all day trying to get this link to work:
http://www.stucazzu.com/orderfor…
I just want users to be able to enter their name and email and have it sent to my email by hitting submit. I can't figure it out. Could someone be a pal and help me. I will buy you drinks at Nicks on thursday. =)
Thanks

too many form tags. All you need is one set.
- stuc0
What does that mean.
I am tying the rope around my neck right now.

This has a detailed tut on how to set up a simple formmail that will process your form.

Is there just some action I could add instead of using that link you posted, they want money for the software.
- stuc0
Maybe some where that I could copy and then paste the code?
- Jnr_Madison0
Formmail is free to download off the site I linked. You only pay money if you don't want to host the script or don't have cgi access.
It's all there, should take about 10 mins to set up.

I think he's referring to the fact every form element is closed with the tag.
where as you just need to close the form once and encompass the three elements....
how are you doing the form to mail? cgi?

from the look of it, we're dealing with someone who thinks like a client ;-)

This is a better tut http://www.kent.k12.wa.us/KSD/IT…

so anyway, yeah, i'll try and help.
maybe it's not obvious but, you can't just email or process a form without scripting. you need to setup a way to process the form that you've made cause right now, you're "POST"ing it NOTHING.
check out formail that was mentioned before. it's easy to setup and works like a charm.

Thanks Brundlefly, I'm just using DW to make to text feild, (name and email), and have that info sent to my email.
I'm learning man. Trying at least.

Hey, we're trying to help.
- stuc0
No, I know, you are all very helpful. I appreciate everyone's time, I know this stuff isn't easy and takes time. I just want to learn as well, be multi-talented.
I'll get, let everyone know when I do.

if you want, go to http://containedenvironment.com/… and download the zipped file.
in it you'll find a simple cgi mail program. just drop kaosmail.pl into your cgi-bin and edit the form the point to it, have the right fields, etc...
it's really simple, but it should work like a charm.
- jpea0
oh, and make sure to dig into kaosmail.pl with a text editor before putting it up on your space. it has specific domain info in it as well as names of form fields and stuff...
good luck
