Email Forms

[Kari]

I am having the worst luck trying to get an email form to work! I know some of you have had the same difficulties, and I know you've conquered them! For the life of me, I can't get it to be sent to my email! Plus, it'd be nice if I could get it to require the email or at least the name of the person sending the form. Gah!

So what's the magic trick you used?

Here's the script I'm using. The two hidden fields are...Well, I have no idea. I used another site to help me build the original form, but it redirects people to a pop-up overloaded site. And no one wants that!

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="thankyou.html">
<input type="hidden" name="acctid" value="4087r71sy8313rhl">
<input type="hidden" name="formid" value="59670">

<table align="left" width="400" height="100" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<font face="Verdana" size="-2" color="black"><b>Name:</b></td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="name" style="border-style:solid" style="border-color:#DCDCDC"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font face="Verdana" size="-2" color="black">
<b>Email:</b></td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="name" style="border-style:solid" style="border-color:#DCDCDC"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font face="Verdana" size="-2" color="black">
<b> Website Address:</b></td>
<td><font face="Verdana" size="-2" color="black">
<input type="text" style="border-style:solid" style="border-color:#DCDCDC"> </td></tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><font face="Verdana" size="-2" color="black">
<b>Comments or Suggestions?</b></td>
<td>
<textarea rows="5" cols="26" name="field-000974a4f26d5a20f"
style="font-family:Verdana" style="border-style:solid" style="border-color:#DCDCDC"
wrap="virtual"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
<input action="mailto:[e-mail]" type="submit" style="border-style:dashed" style="background-color:#DCDCDC" style="border-color: #DCDCDC;" value="Email Me!">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Suggestions or tips would be most appreciated!

hmmm, i use a php script on my other sites, but this doesnt look like the same style...sorry i can't help

All i can do is post my script for you to see, if that helps?

[Kari]

That would be awesome, Gem. Thanks!

You can't use a mailto: tag?

I'd just grab a little email encryption php file and a mailto link.

The script you have there is leaving your email out there for the robots.

[Kari]

Oh my gosh! I cannot have that! Yikes!

Where'd you snag your php file? I'll moving to a new domain (thanks to Gurl's help!) that will support php files. I think at least.

I'm not too sure, really. Besides, I don't know what I'm doing half the time.

This is the code i use for Distant Eyes Sims, Distant Design & DES Application Form too. Works fine for me. Hope this helps.

You could always just use this: www.freedback.com

yes, the site supports php so you're fine in that aspect. Gem, for the mailto, you've got feedback.com--is that a place you got the script from? The one that does all the work? I used a form that send results from the Fetish Award to my email and i don't have it handy right now (i'm at work). I will look into it when I get home... so if you're on yahoo, i'll be there to help real time.

[Distant Eyes ™]

the mail gets sent to that site, then forwarded to your email that you specify... as far as i know.

[Kari]

Hm. I know we've not discussed this thread in ages, but I think I'll definately have to try the form you use, Gem. I keep getting email from people who say things like "My name is ---, and I'm the only son of ---. My father was poisoned by his business associates, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah..."

I've recieved two emails like this, and quite frankly it's disturbing! So be warry if you get emails that say "From So and So" or some other thing that will get you get you to click on it!

[guRl]

I have another script I used for the email form for the Fetish Award. If you're interested in that, i can locate it for you.

[Kari]

That would be so awesome, Gurl! ;D
