Dear Folk

I am in search for a script with which I can receive all my datas of form to my email address.

I searched for this in Google and got number of CGI, PHP, Perl scripts but due to lack of knowledge, I just couldn't go ahead.

I need sort of step by step tutorial on this matter.

Looking forward to help.

Here is a very basic tutorial.

This is a slightly more advanced one

Well, google still is useful with the correct keywords.
Take a look at this tutorial: PHP Tutorial: Writing Your First PHP Script: Feedback Form Script This shows you the very, very basic from mailing form results (As the form has only 1 real message-field.
If you have more fields in your form that need to be in the message, you can "concatenate" or glue them togheter like this:
Code:
$value1 = $_REQUEST['field1'];
$value2 = $_REQUEST['field2'];
$message = "value 1: " . $value1 . "\nValue 2: " . $value2;


There's also a second part on this tutorial: http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/phptutorial2.shtml

If you have more question, don't hesitate, just ask Wink

Greatz,

EDIT: Gosh, I'm way to slow Very Happy

Well, just write the script from scratch. Smile
Code:
<?php

$to = 'me@example.com';
$subject = 'Form Data Submitted';
$message = '';

foreach ($_POST as $field => $value) {
    $message .= "$field: $value\n";
}

mail($to, $subject, $message);

?>

Be sure your form method is set to 'post'.

If anyone finds out you use this script, you might be hacked in no time. Do some more checking on the input if you want to use Dandelions way... You never know what someone puts in it...

Indeed, try reading this:

Btw, be friendly to the email client and include $headers, at least give it a From: header if you don't want to do any additional.
