Hello. I have a form page that has been created with the fields: Name, Email, Phone (day), Phone (Eve), Address, and Comments. The form will need to be sent to an email address upon clicking the submit button. I have read some previous posts and tried using some of the code suggested with the code below being one that worked for another user. When I go to the testing server to test the form I get an htdocs/missing.htm page instead of the form being submitted or giving a form not submitted error message. Could there be a problem with the permissions of the file, or am I missing something with the code? Thanks.
Here is the code:

Hi dbow1,
Create the following php document and save it as mail.php:
Then place it in the same folder as your contact us page (contact_us.html)
To make things a little easier, I have created the form for you as well, place this code, where you would like the contact us form to appear:
And Finally, the CSS you need to style the form:
If you have any problems or need some help. Just ask.
Regards,
Create the following php document and save it as mail.php:
<?php
$visitor = $_POST['name'];
$visitormail = $_POST['email'];
$address = $_POST[['address'];
$tele = $_POST['tele'];
$teld = $_POST['teld'];
$notes = $_POST['comments'];
// form validation
if (eregi('http:', $notes)) {
die ("Do NOT try that! ! ");
}
if ($visitor == "") {
echo 'You must provide your name to contact us. Please click the back, and try again';
$formgood = false;
}
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,".")))
{
echo "<h2>Use Back - Enter valid e-mail</h2>\n";
if ($comments == "") {
echo 'You must provide comments in order to submit this form. Please click back, and try again.';
}
$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
echo $badinput;
die ("Go back! ! ");
}
if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes )) {
echo "<h2>Use Back - fill in all fields</h2>\n";
die ("Use back! ! ");
}
$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;
$attn = $attn ;
$subject = $notes;
$notes = stripcslashes($notes);
$message = " $todayis [EST] \n
Message: $notes \n
From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
Address: $address \n
Telephone (Day): $teld \n
Telephone (Evening): $tel \n
";
$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";
// Change the email address to the one you use.
mail("you@email.com", $subject, $message, $from);
?>
<!-- Below is the confirmation message the user will see -->
<p align="center">
Date: <?php echo $todayis ?>
<br />
Thank You : <?php echo $visitor ?> ( <?php echo $visitormail ?> )
<br />
Telephone Numbers: <?php echo $teld ?> ( <?php echo $tele ?> )
<br />
Address: <?php echo $address ?>
<br />
Message: <?php echo $notes ?>
<br />
Message:<br />
<?php $notesout = str_replace("\r", "<br/>", $notes);
echo $notesout; ?>
<br />
<?php echo $ip ?>
<br /><br />
<a href="index.html"> Home </a></p>Then place it in the same folder as your contact us page (contact_us.html)
To make things a little easier, I have created the form for you as well, place this code, where you would like the contact us form to appear:
<div id="container"> <form method="post" action="mail.php"> <div id="row"> <div id="col"> Name: </div> <div id="col"> <input name="name" type="text" id="name" /> </div> </div> <div id="row"> <div id="col"> Email: </div> <div id="col"> <input name="email" type="text" id="email" /> </div> </div> <div id="row"> <div id="col"> Phone (day): </div> <div id="col"> <input name="teld" type="text" id="tel_day" /> </div> </div> <div id="row"> <div id="col"> Phone (evening): </div> <div id="col"> <input name="tele" type="text" id="tel_evening" /> </div> </div> <div id="row"> <div id="col"> Address: </div> <div id="col"> <input name="address" type="text" id="address" /> </div></div> <div id="row"> <div id="col"> Comments: </div> <div id="col"><textarea name="comments" cols="50" rows="10"></textarea></div> </div> <div id="row"><input name="send" type="submit" id="send" value="Send" /> <input name="clear" type="reset" id="clear" value="Clear" /> </div> </form> </div>
And Finally, the CSS you need to style the form:
#container {
width: 768px;
height: 400px;
}
#row {
width:100%;
margin:2px;
height:auto;
float:left;
}
#col{
width:25%;
margin:2px;
float:left;
height:auto;
}If you have any problems or need some help. Just ask.
Regards,
