ok so in your getmail.php file, those values would be.
$_POST['Contact Info'];
$_POST['Requested email'];
etc etc etc

so you can then use those values to store in db.

 

[Chandler789]

oh, i have thoughs aswell, i just need to know how to store it...

I'm confused, do you even know PHP or HTML?

You said you wanted form data sent to your email or stored in a database or file, right? I gave you the mail function. If the mail function is too difficult for you I'm sure the file i/o or mysql functions will be aswell. Anyways, check these out:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php
Look for fopen(), fwrite(), fread(), and fclose().

[color=red]You should keep your form data names simpler, aswell.[/color]

i agree, mellow showed you the way to do it. if you dont know ANY html or php go learn some.

 

[Chandler789]

-.o I've never done somthing liek that before, and i followed a tutrail the first time and it dint work... and that one dint work to well either, i want it to POST it in a file or data base then, let me get that straight, rather then going thogh the STMP proccess

 

[Xcalibur]

lol this is probably so he can make a "Become a Mod" website and steal accounts

 

[Chandler789]

wtf? no it isnt, it to request emails lol. google Eternity Online. or RuneKeep. EO was shut off, because i dint have $200 more for hosting lol.

 

[emuse]

I will help you man, have you ever used a database system before? like mysql? and do you currently host a website?

 

[emuse]

woth mysql when someone inserts text into your form in sends there info and stores it in a table in the database. and then you need to program a script to view the info that was submitted to I suggest you have me program you a form that will send the info to your e-mail. is that ok?

<form method="post" action="<?php echo($PHP_SELF) ?>">
 <fieldset>
 <legend>Email Form</legend>
 <p><label>Name:</label><input type="text" name="name" id="name"></p>
 <p><label>Email:</label><input type="text" name="email" id="email"></p>
 <p><label>Comments:</label><input type="text" name="comments"  id="comments"></p>
 <p><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send Message"></p>
 </fieldset>
</form>

<?php
  
  # Add your email address
  $to = '[email protected]';
  # Add a default subject
  $subject = 'You Have Mail From Your Website';
  $loc = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
  $name = $_REQUEST['name'];
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'];
  $comments = $_REQUEST['comments'];
  $submit = $_REQUEST['submit'];
  $body = "You have received an email from $name \n ($email) \n \n $name wanted to tell you: $comments \n \n He sent this message from $loc";

  if(isset($submit)) {

  mail($to, $subject, $body);}

  ?>

Custom job by me.

 

[Chandler789]

Thanks but I made one more complex so it just write to the actual email database, thanks for the examples though

 

[TehDan]

More complex? These aren't complex to begin with.

Email Entry Form

<form action="save.php" method="post">
<input type="name" name="content">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>

save.php

<?
$content = $_POST['content'];
    $entry_line = "$content \n";
    $fp = fopen("emails.txt", "a");
    fputs($fp, $entry_line);
    fclose($fp);    
?>

CHmod emails.txt to 777 for world-access or 222 to access only from your FTP client (as this would cause a 403 error if accessed from site.)

Another custom by me.

(You can VERY easily customize this to more forms just by some simple copying + pasting, if you can't do that - then go learn PHP/HTML. http://w3schools.com)
