Web Based Toner request form

That example works but when i try to encorperate it into my form is creates a new field and messes up the layout and design, i cannot figure out how to apply it to my existing fields.

You can't apply it to your existing fields, that's the whole point.

I have used this Worx International Inc.

 

It might be easier than building your own

 

Ive grabbed the phpmailer-fe but completely at a loss as the examples dont even work for me? when i try one of them instead of opening an email it tries to ope the php file

Indicating that you haven't installed PHP correctly on your web server.

You can't use the mailto technique except to submit two inputs, whose names are "subject" and "body". That is its entire purpose.

And you chose not to disclose that early on beacuse??

 

 

Feeling very frustrated as it seems just a simple thing to have a form emailed yet i cannot get it to work at all

 

Me = Fail

For your convenience:

 

Anyway, the problem is easy (now that you don't expect psychic assistance): you don't have an input named "body", which should be type text and becomes the body of the email. All your fancy inputs are wasted.

Try the attached...you should be able to adapt the code to your form...

Can we just cool down a bit? It would be good if some posters could remember that what appears simple to them doesn't appear simple to other people. If it is obvious that someone doesn't 'get' what you are saying, please look at it from a simpler perspective rather than making sarky remarks.

After all, we don't want to put people off asking for help in case people sneer at their lack of knowledge, do we?
