Form to mail

Would you like to get on your email all the information included in a form?

  • First of all you need a form, as for example the one in the table:

form.html
<FORM ACTION="formtomail.php" METHOD=post>

<!-- Your fields here -->

<INPUT TYPE=submit value="Submit">
</FORM>

    The Form Action must be directed to the PHP script bellow.
  • Second: you need the php script (copy the information in the table to a text file
    • and save the file as "formtomail.php" in your server).
formtomail.php
<?
if ($_POST){
      // posted information is added to variable message
      $message="";
      foreach ($_POST as $formfieldname => $formfieldvalue){
            $message.="$formfieldname \n $formfieldvalue\n\n";     //
      }
     // send email with information from the form to
      mail("webmaster@mysite.com","Form to Mail", $message,"From: <webmaster@mysite.com>\nContent-Type: text/plain");
      print "The information has been send to webmaster";
}else{
      print "No information has been posted";
}
 
?>

You need to customize the script: substitute red text in the script by your email.

This scripts assumes you have no restrictions to use mail commnad.
