Hi there, I am attempting to make a form that emails me the results. I used the following tutorial video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdsz9Ie6h7I I read somewhere that the variables he put in at 13:13 were wrong, so I just assumed they were supposed to be the variables that I named recently. Here is the HTML Form Code I have on Joomla: <form action="http://qualityposting.net/contactformprocess.php" method="post"> <strong>Name:</strong><br /> <input name="name" size="50" type="text" /> <br /> <strong>Email:</strong><br /> <input name="email" size="50" type="text" /> <br /> <strong>Paypal Email:</strong><br /> <input name="paypal" size="50" type="text" /> <br /> <strong>Forum URL:</strong><br /> <input name="forum" size="50" type="text" /><br /> <strong>Package:</strong><br /> <select> <option value="trial">Trial Package 10 Posts $3.00</option> <option value="trialplus">Trial Plus 25 Posts $7.50</option> <option value="basic">Basic 50 Posts $14.00</option> <option value="basicplus">Basic Plus 150 Posts $40.00</option> </select><br /> <strong>Special Instructions:</strong><br /> <textarea cols="50" rows="15" name="instructions"> Input any special instructions you may have for this job, including past names or new names (if returning client), if you would like a different amount of threads/replies, or if you want this completed sooner or farther away than normal. Remove this text before writing special instructions. </textarea> <br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Send" /> </form> HTML: And here is the Action PHP that should be executing: <?php // Subject and Email Variables $emailSubject = 'New Job Inquiry From Quality Posting'; $webMaster = 'mastert2628@vfemail.net'; // Gathering Data Variables $nameField = $_POST['name']; $emailField = $_POST['email']; $paypalField = $_POST['paypal']; $forumField = $_POST['forum']; $trialField = $_POST['trial']; $trialplusField = $_POST['trialplus']; $basicField = $_POST['basic']; $basicplusField = $_POST['basicplus']; $instructionsField = $_POST['instructions']; $body = <<<EOD <br><hr><br> Name: $nameField <br> Email: $emailField <br> Paypal Email: $paypalField <br> Forum Link: $forumField <br> Package: $trialField $trialplusField $basicField $basicplusField <br> Special Instructions: $instructionsField <br> EOD; $headers = "From: $emailField\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n"; $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers); // Results Rendered As HTML $theResults = <<<EOD <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <p>Congrats, your order is being processed. We will get a hold of you within 24-48 hours to confirm your order.</p> </body> </html> EOD; echo "$theResults" ; ?> PHP: This is a link to the contact form as shown on my Joomla website: http://qualityposting.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&Itemid=3 I would put in all required information into form, and then hit send. It takes me to the confirmation screen. However I do not get any email with the form results. Am I missing something important? I am completely new to PHP, again. And feel I have learned so much so fast. If anyone could kindly tell me what I did wrong, it would be greatly appreciated!
Try this: update this line $headers = "From: $emailField\r\n"; PHP: to $headers = "From: you@your-website.com\r\n"; PHP: where your-website.com is the website where you run this script The following pages might be helpful: Email forms Form to email using PHP
