Default Totally stuck on php/forms - 11-01-2004 , 01:36 PM






Hi guys. I have created a form on my site: www.vistaone.ca/order.htm I am
reading up on php and trying to figure out how to get it so people can fill in
this form and the info will be emailed to me. I just can't figure it out. I
have been refered to some php reading on the web which I am doing. In the
meantime we are losing business because I can't get the damn form working! Is
it possible for someone to walk me thru exactly what to do? My dad sent me a
php tag and told me to upload it to my site, which I did. It is here:
www.vistaone.ca/phpinfo.php This means nothing to me. Where do I put this
file? How do I tie it into the form itself? I am SO LOST!!!! ANY help would be
greatlt appreciated. I intend to read into it and learn what is actually
happening so I can figure it out for myself. But in the meantime a quick fix
would just rock. Thank you!

Heres about the easiest php form script to set up ever, link below. Look
for the free version of NateMail.

Read the pdf tutorial. You should be up and running in less than 15
minutes, its that easy.

Thanks kindly! I followed all the instructions - and when I click
"submit" I get a message saying "No "recipient" field
was included, or the "recipient" value was empty." Here is the
page: http://www.vistaone.ca/order2.htm Any ideas what I'm doing wrong??
Thank you!! (If JavaScript is disabled, use the back button on your

Hidden field actually, not form. Without the hidden field 'recipient'
the form can't be processed. Glad you read the instructions again and
finally got it working.
