Php data submission form?

[tekquest]

Hi all,

I am attempting to create a php submission form that can be filled out and mailed to an email address.

I have done extensive searching, but I cannot seem to find anything really relivant, can anyone suggest a script that I can possibly plug in?

Thanks for reading,

Luke

basic example:

form.php

<?
  if (($send_data) && ($name) && ($age) && ($location)) { // if u want some non-required fields, just take it's name off the if statment

   $destination = &quot;you@domain.com&quot;;
   $subject = &quot;Form Results&quot;;
   $message = &quot;Name: $name \n Age: $age \n Location: $location&quot;;
   mail($destination,$subject,$message);

  }

?>


<form method=post action=form.php>
<input type=text name=&quot;name&quot;><br>
<input type=text name=&quot;age&quot;><br>
<input type=text name=&quot;location&quot;><br>
<input type=submit name=&quot;send_data&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</form>

Jamespotter:

Your example is fine, but you should refer the post vars using the $_POST array.

In the new versions of PHP, well since 4.1, PHP is set by default to not convert the form vars to $varname. You should use $_POST["varname"] or $_GET["varname"] (depending of the method of the form)
