Hi guys, I'm having a bit of trouble with my website. I am really confused. I alway turn to Webmaster-Talk for reference and help which I always happily recieve from you guys ...

Problem is, I have created my website www.flashmedia.org.uk/test/index.html - This site is only a test one for now until it's fully built. I am havig trouble creating my 'contact' and 'quotation' forms.

On my contact form I'd like fields for Name, E-mail Address, Telephone Number, Subject (drop down menu) and a text area for comments.

On my quotation for I'd like, Name, E-mail Address, Subject (drop down menu) and a text area for a description of some sort.

Trouble is my PHP isn't up to scratch and I was wondering if any of you kind people could help me out?

Thanks in advance,

JAMiE

You may hire a web designer or "borrow" some forms from other websites adjusting them for your needs :-)

I tried to copy and paste th code from another php form of mine on another site and paste it into the new one but it doesn't work ?

Try this http://www.ibdhost.com/contact/. You will need to customize the look of it of course, but that should do the trick. Then just adjust/add the field names for the quotes page.

Heres a basic php to do this trick.

<form action="send.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="email">
<input type="text" name="tel">
<select name="subject">
  <option selected>- - Select - -</option>
  <option value="Subject 1">Subject 1</option>
  <option value="subject 2">Subject 2</option>
</select>
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

send.php

PHP Code:

<?php 

// sets the variables

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$tel = $_POST['tel'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];

// checks empty fields and if email has '.' and '@'

if(empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($message) || empty($tel) || $subject == '- - Select - -' || !$email == "" && (!strstr($email,"@") || !strstr($email,"."))) {

echo 'Some fields were left empty';

// display the form again for this page.

echo '<form action="send.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="email">
<input type="text" name="tel">
<select name="subject">
  <option selected>- - Select - -</option>
  <option value="Subject 1">Subject 1</option>
  <option value="subject 2">Subject 2</option>
</select>
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>';

}

$from = "From: $email\r\n";

else {mail("your@email.com", $subject, $message, $from); 

echo 'Thank you. Your email has been sent.';

}

Thanks Gilligan, I'll try this script tomorrow... I'll let you know how I get on
