php send mail help

TriedandTested · 21 Oct 2007 at 12:48

I'm trying to recreate a form that will send an email with the content that the user gives in the various fields. I've never done this before and need help.

I've recreated a form in Dreamweaver from the customer's previous site, but i need to code the submit button to send it over to them via email.

The send button's value is currently: <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Send Details"> but on testing it is asking for a send.php file (which i don't have).

Thank you

Ok, it has the following:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="valuation_send.php">

Where would the php script be stored on the site? I don't have their FTP details yet so can't log on and find it that way. Could it be anywhere or only in a certain place (eg local to the page you're on)?

EDIT If i put in the website then the 'valuation_send.php' (eg www.mysite.com/valuation_send.php) it immediately forwards to a thank you page so i presume that's the location of the php code, but i can't grab it using Flashget or anything like that.

I thought that may be the case. Thanks SiriusB.

What script do you use?

Thanks for everyone's help...got it sorted and working.

Is it possible to make it so that the form won't send if all fields aren't completed? A popup or something to show the user they've left something out.

Thank you.
