Venerable masters of all things code, I am a simple graphic (not even web) designer, struggling to creating a working mailing script.
So far, I managed to do it with basic HTML and a mailto function, but it needs to happen server-side, so, I am guessing PHP is my best bet.
Here's what I have so far:
<form action="mailto:?subject=Hello" method="POST" enctype="text/plain">
<input type="checkbox" name="Entry1" value="URL1">
<input type="checkbox" name="Entry2" value="URL2">
<input type="checkbox" name="Entry3" value="URL3">
<input type="checkbox" name="Entry4" value="URL4">
<label for="name">Name</label><input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Your Name">
<label for="email">Email(Required)</label><input type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="john_doe@example.com" required class="inputfield">
<input type="submit" id="search-submit" value="">
</form>
What I am trying to accomplish:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])){
$_POST['email'];
$_POST['name'];
@$_POST['Entry1'];
@$_POST['Entry2'];
@$_POST['Entry3'];
@$_POST['Entry4'];
$to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = $_POST['name'] . @$_POST['Entry1'] . @$_POST['Entry2'] . @$_POST['Entry3'] . @$_POST['Entry4'];
$headers = 'From:you@example.com';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo 'thanks you for your email';
header("where_you_want.php");
}else{
echo 'please try again';
}
?>
<form action="where_you_want.php" method="POST" enctype="text">
<input type="checkbox" name="Entry1" value="URL1">
<input type="checkbox" name="Entry2" value="URL2">
<input type="checkbox" name="Entry3" value="URL3">
<input type="checkbox" name="Entry4" value="URL4">
<label for="name">Name</label><input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Your Name">
<label for="email">Email(Required)</label><input type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="john_doe@example.com" required class="inputfield">
<input type="submit" name="send" value="">
this is not the best answer but I test it and sending email with value and you can change value and play around..I hope its help..
