Hey Guys,

Today i have worked on this Form, using Dreamweaver. This is the address http://huiszoeken.uuuq.com/index3.php.

function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
  if (document.getElementById){
	var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
	for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=document.getElementById(args[i]);
	  if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {

		  if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
		  if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
			min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
			if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
	  } } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; }
	} if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
	document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
} }

	</tr>
  </table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now my question is how to set this up, so my people can send me a mail. So if they press submit, i will get the mail with with the details.. I think i must use phpmyadmin..

It is a project for my school.

Thanks in advance!! Appreciate your help:)

You need to write a php file to catch all of the data, then mail the data from there. However, for this to work on zymic, you will need to pay $10 to have the mail() function enabled.

The other alternative, is to write a php file and save the data into a database (using phpmyadmin). This is free, but you will have to remember to check the database regularly to see if you have anything there.

How can this be done? I have searched the forum, but couldn't find any tutorials. Could you help me with this?

thanks

If you start it, you'll find people here and on the IRC will help you with problems you come up against.

You need to look at:

$_POST and $_GET variables
Validation/sanitation of variables.
MYSQL

That will certainly get you started. A good general php tutorial is here. The part that deals with forms is here.

Buddy,

Could you please give the instruction how to do this..The links you gave me, they are only explaining how to make a form. And at the IRC they are only chatting about other things..
