Hello.

I'm still creating my site and was hoping you guys might be able to help out. I don't know TOO much about coding - which is why I like the interface design of Dreamweaver.

That being said, I am trying to get a form (very simple form) to submit to my personal email address. Currently, the action of the form is set to my address, but all that does is open the viewer's email program and sends me an email - defeating the purpose of the form!

The thing I am trying to accomplish with my limited knowledge, is getting the ANSWERS to the form sent to my email account.

I haven't even gotten to the "Your form has been successfully submitted" part yet - that's going to be a whole new headache.

I hope I haven't been too confusing. Thanks in advance for the help.

Step 1.

Decide where you want to have your form placed. This can be on an html page already on your web site, or you may wish to create a brand new page to display this form. Then decide what information you want to ask on your form. You can use this form as a way for people to simply email you from your web site and/or to answer specific questions, place orders, make inquiries, etc., etc ... the possibilities are endless... You decide.

Step 2.


Copy and Paste the following two lines of code to your page exactly as they appear here to begin your Form

• <FORM ACTION="/cgi-sys/mailform" METHOD="POST"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden name="recipient" value="DesiredUser@example.tld">

Backspace over the text between the quotes where it says DesiredUser@example.tld and replace this text with the email address you would like to receive the FormMail responses at. (e.g. your email address). The form should only send to ONE email address and that email address should be e.g. You@YOURdomain.com</B>


Step 3.

Think about what you want to ask for and use any of the fields described in further detail below to set up your form.

Step 4.


Copy and paste the following three lines of code at the end of your form. These lines are what put the buttons on your page and close your form. You may change the 'VALUE' to anything you would like it to say on your buttons. The Submit Button is what sends the form. The Reset Button will clear the viewers input for them and allow them to start over. (You do not need to include the 'reset' button; it's considered common courtesy to do so though.)

• <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send" >
  <INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Restart">
  </FORM>

All that's left to do is upload your new page to your web site and let your viewers know it's there by remembering to provide links to your new form!

I hope this helps!!

It won't let me have the mail function in here. I sent him a PM with the correct code to use.

You are correct. Though he might just be having a problem in dreamweaver. Not all websites use forms. I PM'd him with the mail function code. Wouldn't let me post it on here.

He said all was good I think. The code I gave him worked. I use myself. I have no idea why he posted the link. Hunter, there are several PHP functions which don't work on this board. 1 for example is the mail(); function.
