I love to use ASP. But I cannot use ASP on one of my clients' web hosting plans because it doesn't support ASP so I have to use PHP. I don't know that much PHP. :( I am sure that there are some people on this forum that know PHP.

Please look at http://www.stellohomeservices.com/contact.htm - http://www.stellohomeservices.com/contact.htm . This form is supposed to post to a PHP file. I got a simple PHP file, but it doesn't submit all of the results.

Here's the simple PHP File I have so far:


<?php
$to = " mailto:misty@you.com - misty@you.com ";
$subject = "Test Email From PHP Contact Me Form";
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }
?>

I would like for all of the fields such as the check boxes to be included in the results. I would like for there to be a tag between each field. I also would like for the email that is sent to show the person's name and the email address as from on the email.

Like this?

<?php
$to = mailto:misty@you.com - misty@you.com ;
$subject = "The Test Email From PHP Contact Me Form";
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{print "Your email message below was sent successfully"; }
else
{print "Sorry, We encountered an error sending your mail below. Please hit the back button on your browser and try again!"; }?>
 

Name: <?php echo $_POST["txtName"]; ?>. 
Address: <?php echo $_POST["txtAddress"]; ?>
City: <?php echo $_POST["txtCity"]; ?>. 
State: <?php echo $_POST["SelState"]; ?>. 
Zip: <?php echo $_POST["txtZip"]; ?>. 
Phone: <?php echo $_POST["txtPhone"]; ?>. 
Email Address: <?php echo $_POST["txtEmail"]; ?>. 
Type of Project: <?php echo $_POST["chkbox[]"]; ?>. 
Details on Project: <?php echo $_POST["txtaProjectType"]; ?>.
