i have 2 questions that i have googled for the past few days and without success:
1. how do i send webform results to support@tribalonline.net?
2. how do i have already text in a text box, and when user clicks, text is erased so they can type in it?
thanks :)
Cant You Check The Support Forum (Of Your Forum) For This?
#1 Use a mailing system (PHP mailer class or Swift mailer class)
#2 Use JavaScript
what do you mean by that?Quote:

That's your mail function, the form erase is simple javascript.PHP Code:<?php
$to = "to@someone.com";
$subject = "HAI! Heres some subject";
$message = "HAI! Heres some body";
$from = "from@whoever.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
?>
No no no :P. mail() is badly written, just download the phpmailer files and extract them at your projects dir. Than add this code to your script:
Using the PHPMailer TutorialPHP Code:<?php
require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "smtp.example.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->From = "from@example.com";
$mail->AddAddress("myfriend@example.net");
$mail->Subject = "First PHPMailer Message";
$mail->Body = "Hi! \n\n This is my first e-mail sent through PHPMailer.";
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo 'Message was not sent.';
echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
?>
Files: phpmailer-1.73.zip
Javascript:
Add that attribute to the tag in question, and change '[original value]' into the value the form has when the page loads (like 'Enter your text here' or something like that).Code:onClick="if (this.value == '[original value]') { this.value = ''; }"
Heres a simple one you could use to test.... Thanks to jetgod's post (didnt know how it would be done, havent read up on it.
Mailing.php:
SubmitMessage.php:PHP Code:<?php // This would be your Mailing.php
echo "<h4>Mailing System</h4>";
echo "<form action=\"SubmitMessage.php\" method=\"post\">";
echo "To: <input name=\"toEmail\" type=\"text\" style=\"width:300px\" /><br />";
echo "Subject: <input name=\"subject\" type=\"text\" style=\"width:300px\" /><br />";
echo "From: <input name=\"fromEmail\" type=\"text\" style=\"width:300px\" /><br />";
echo "Message:<br /> <input name=\"message\" type=\"text\" style=\"width:450px\" style=\"height:450px\" /><br />";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" />";
echo "</form>";
?>
Correct me if im wrong thoughPHP Code:<?php // This will be your SubmitMessage.php
$headers = "From: ".$_POST['fromEmail'];
mail($_POST['toEmail'],$_POST['subject'],$_POST['fromEmail'],$_POST['message'],$headers);
echo "Email Sent";
?>
Although id go with what Daevius said
ill try both methods, see the better one.
thanks guys :D
vladek, could i replacein submitmessage.php toPHP Code:$headers = "From: ".$_POST['fromEmail'];
?PHP Code:$headers = "From: webshop@tribalonline.net";

echo "Game Account Name: <input name=\"acc\" type=\"text\" maxlength='12' style=\"width:100px\" /><br />";
