If any of you can help, it would be great. I need to know how to set up a web form so that the contents of the form are sent to me by email.

Easy. Go to server.com, select DBApp, fill out the form to make it, and it should come with a good form. Tell me if you're expieriencing any problems after that.

You can make the actual form with markup like this:

Code: [Select]

<form method="post" action="some_file.php">
<div>
<!-- fields ... -->
<input type="text" name="something" />
</div>
</form>
(See more on the <a href='http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_input.asp' target='_blank'><input> tag</a>.)

Then you might code some_file.php:

Code: [Select]

<!-- ... -->
<?php
$str = '';
foreach ($_POST as $i => $j)
{
$str .= $i . ': ' . $j . "\n";
}
mail('your@email.com', 'Allo! (subject)', $str);
?>
<!-- ... -->
Note that this is untested.

actually it has been up and running for a couple days now, i thought i posted on here, the sender even gets an email telling them what they requested, i will add email validation later, to ensure that it goes to an actual email address.

also i will be rewriting the request form in XForms.  Soon the site will be fully php/sql

Only real browsers such as Firefox support xforms right now. IE, unfortunately, has a market share greater than 90%, so it's not a good idea.

Firefox has full support for xforms. If it didn't work there, you did something wrong.

My entire site is straight PHP and SQL.  I can modify just about any file efficiently.  I have even released 2 blocks completely designed by myself for php-nuke.  I will soon (hopefully) be releasing some more utilities and mods for it.  If you need something, ask.  my new e-mail is

GameCharmer  at  GCWorld  dot  net

Thanks!

I am in fact in the process of integrating the gmae stuff into TS so that i have one site for everything, BBS will be no more, unless i get a buttload of money and i actually need to.

Also i am redoing the gfx of the site, making it a bit brighter it shows up as damn dark on this lappie.

Sofar, I have implemented a store, inventory, statistics, and cash into my site for use in a game.

Looks pretty good.

Also, completely redesigned the theme.

Thanks!
