Email Form

[darbyshire]

I have been requested of the teacher incharge of the student council to set a little webpage so students in school and submit something on this form to put a suggestion.

 

This will go to a email address in school and want it to look something like:

 

Name:___________________

Comment:__________________

__________________________

__________________________

 

Submit.

 

 

 

But i am unsure how to set it. tried searching google with no preveil.

 

Thanks

Peter

Have a look at Google Docs - it can do all of this for you with ease.

Are you using IIS or Apache as your host and do you have any scripting (e.g. PHP) available to you? Is this a server you control?

If you have a server running .php you could do something like this:

 

Contact PHP Email Form Script with free contact php code

 

I must admit I've not tried it, it was just the first thing that appeared in a google search. For an easy life I would probably go with webmans solution.

I would second using Google forms, part of the Google Docs spreadsheet. We use them in the school I work for inset surveys and other data collection.

 

There's also more of a chance that others might pick up on how to use them.

 

If you decide to dive into php and hosting your own script there's one below I use for the sixth form students making websites in my school as a generic email form. for this to work the html form pointing to it must have a hidden filed called EmailAddress with the value being the recipient's email address.

 

Save the headache and do the Google thing though :-)

 

<?php // common.php

 

function info($msg) {

?>

 

exit;

}

?>

/* get date */

$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm

/* recipients */

$to = $_POST['EmailAddress'];

/* subject */

$subject = "Email Contact Form";

/* message */

$message = "

$today

Senders details -

";

/* message continued - get details from form */

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {

if ($key != "email" && $key != "submit") {

$message .= $key ." : ". $value . "\n";

}

}

 

/* and now mail it */

mail($to, $subject, $message,

"From: [email protected]\r\n" .

"Reply-To: [email protected]\r\n"

);

 

info("Thank you, your email has been received.");
