Making a link request form in dreamweaver

[the27offsuit.com]

Ok trying to make a link request form in dreamweaver. I want a form so if someone wants to exchange links with my site they input the info then hit send and it is emailed to me.

I figured out how to make the form and put a submit button, but when i try it it only sends a blank email not all the info that was put into the form

Any tips.

I believe you would need to code it something like this, if in php:

$message = \n First Name: $firstname \n Last Name: $lastname \n Email: $email \n anchor text: $anchor \n url: $url \n Site: $select1 \n Hands: $hands
\n Comments: $textarea";
$tomail = "[email protected]";
$subject = "New Link Request!";


"n First Name" would denote what you see in your email after "First Name" and the "$firstname" is the form object that it is getting that information from. For example in the above instance, "n Comments" is pulling that info from the text box named "$textarea"

Hope that helps, but I could see how what I have written makes absolutely no sense.

dont know php.

Only problem im really having right now is that when the submit button is clicked a blank email pops up .

okay so like a new outlook compose message window opens up when they hit submit?

See you need the submit button to send your form to a form mailer, if I interpret what you are saying it seems as though you have the action of the submit button set to email, and if that is the case then it is doing just that. It is opening up a new email for the user to send.

I assume what you want is yourself to get emailed with the contents of the form after the person hits submit right?

exactly.


So what is a form mailer, and how do i get one

Well that depends on a few things.

You said you are using dreamweaver right?

Is your page regular html?
