Form Action Email not working: Please Help!

I created a form and I am using the mail to code and cannot get the submit button to send the form to my email address. I have the following code:


<form method="post"
action="mailto:email_address"
enctype="text/plain">
<input type="submit" value="Submit Application" />
<input type="reset" value="Cancel" />
</form>

Can someone guide me on how to get this working? I prefer working with the mail to code.

Thanks

 

Hi Michael,

That is not the proper way to send email from a form.

It would be better if you would check the PHP Manual on Mail function
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

 

Got it to work. Yea, mail opt is not a proper way but I wanted to learn how to implement it correctly. Thanks for your help
