Creating a form

[Bagel Bagel]

Hello facepunch.

This is a new account but I have been on facepunch for years, so don't worry about my join date.

Right back to buisness.

I am trying to create a form for a website "[url]http://www.parismavintage.com/index-3.php?x=13&y=2[/url]" but I cannot quite get it to work. When I click submit it brings up an e-mail window, but I want it to just send one after filling the fields out. I know the HTML is disgusting, but I joined the company after they used a generated pile of crap, so for that I apologise.

<form id="form" action="MAILTO:[e-mail]" enctype="text/plain" method="post"> 
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 180px;">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="height: 31px;"><input class="input" onclick="this.value=''" type="text" value="Your name:" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="height: 32px;"><input class="input" onclick="this.value=''" type="text" value="Telephone:" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input class="input" onclick="this.value=''" type="text" value="E-mail:" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
<td style="width: 180px;">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="height: 99px;"><textarea style="overflow: auto;" cols="40" rows="20">Message:</textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="73" height="1" /><input src="images/but_reset.gif" type="reset" value="Reset" /><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="18" height="1" /><input src="images/but_submit.gif" type="submit" value="Send" /></p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>

If you need me to elaborate on any, feel free to ask, but I am still very new at HTML and CSS.

If anyone can help me it would be greatfully appreciated.

I'm not a genius on the matter, but maybe you need a function file to process the input tables to output them to an email.

Elaborate?

Make the action attribute point to a file. Here I'll just put mine up (no captcha)

Here's my form:

<form method="post" action="contactengine.php">
	<label for="Name">Name:</label><br />
	<input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" />
	
	<label for="Tel">Telephone:</label>
	<input type="text" name="Tel" id="Tel" />
								
	<label for="Email">Email:</label><br />
	<input type="text" name="Email" id="Email" /></p>
	
	<label for="Message">Message:</label><br />
	<textarea name="Message" rows="10" cols="40" id="Message"></textarea>

	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="submit-button" />
</form>

Here's contactengine:

<?php
// email from can be any working email
$EmailFrom = "[e-mail]";
$EmailTo = "[e-mail]";
$Subject = "Contact Me Submission";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Tel: ";
$Body .= $Tel;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thanks.php\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";
}
?>

Never done PHP, and I'm new to the back-end of the sites admin.

Can you intergrate the PHP with the HTML?

If you really want to:

<?php
if(!empty($_POST['submit'])){ //Was the form submitted?
//do things here
}else{
?>
<form method="post" action="contact.php"><!--change this to the file name-->
	<label for="Name">Name:</label><br />
	<input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" />
	
	<label for="Tel">Telephone:</label>
	<input type="text" name="Tel" id="Tel" />
								
	<label for="Email">Email:</label><br />
	<input type="text" name="Email" id="Email" /></p>
	
	<label for="Message">Message:</label><br />
	<textarea name="Message" rows="10" cols="40" id="Message"></textarea>

	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="submit-button" />
</form>
<? } ?>
