Contact US

[devAngel]

Please please help me...I'm very new to PHP and I'm trying to have a contact us page. I tried downloading a free script but couldn't understand a thing. I just have this code:

<?

foreach($_GET as $key => $value)

{

    $$key = $value;

}

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

{

    $$key = $value;

}

$page_title="";

$page_description="";

$page_keywords="";



if (!isset($btn_contact)):

		header ("location:index.html");

else:

		$mailto="";

		$subject="";

		$message=implode('',file('index.html'));

		$message=str_replace('"',"&quote;",$message);

		eval("\$message=\"$message\";");

		$message=str_replace('&quote;','"',$message);

		$header="From: $email\n";

		@mail($mailto,$subject,$message,$header);

		header ("location:index.html");

	

endif;



?>

Can somebody please please guide me how do I use this? and where should I put it?

uber newbie

Take off the @ sign before mail so you can see any error messages to start.

thanks for that. I got another mailer.php that I quite understand however, I cant make it work there seems to be no error on the mailer.php

 <?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "email@email.com";
$subject = "message here";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$company_field = $_POST['company'];
$phone_field = $_POST['phone'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message']; 



$body = "From: $name_field\n Company: $company_field\n Phone: $phone_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Comments:\n $message";

echo "Thank you for submitting our form. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "Pls. Try Again.";
}
?>

When I click on the Submit button, it directs me to a 405 error

Quick question, have you checked that PHP definitely works on your server?

something like <?php echo "Hello World"; ?> in a file called helloworld.php would do the trick.

Does that bring up an error?

devAngel, is your host on a Windows server? Because most hosts support php in some form as it is the predominant server-side language in use currently, it just seems rather supprising that theres a host which doesn't like php (especially with host competition like it is)!

The error is commonly associated with windows servers, so my guess would be yes.
