Frontpage Form Problem

geek2009 · Jul 3, 2007

Hey guys, I'm having a problem making a form in Frontpage 2002. I really don't care how it's made, just so that it will email me at info@holdingfordhelpinghands.org when someone fills out the form. Below is the code for people to either signup for an email newsletter or standard email newsletter. The actual webpage that dosent work is www.holdingfordhelpinghands.org/newsletter.php

HTML:

<html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Newsletter</title>
</head>
<?php
include ('Tops of pages.htm');
?>
<body bgproperties="fixed" background="Background%20color.gif">

If you want it to e-mail you then you can either
use in the form action field have mailto:you@e-mail.com
NOT recommended

Or

You can use some PHP to use the mail() function - http://www.php.net/mail

EDIT:
I'm not sure how well these methods work with FrontPage as I'm unfamiliar with it.

First off, you should try and sort out the code and make it neater. Use this:

Code:

<?php
include ('Tops of pages.htm');
?>

<html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

<!-- Style has been written inline to make the code a lot shorter -->
<style>
body {
background-properties: fixed;
background-image: Background%20color.gif;
font-family: Times New Roman;
color: #336666;
font-size: 5;
}

a:link, a:visited, a:active {
color: #336666;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
color: #000;
}
</style>

<title>Newsletter</title>

</head>

<body>
<br />
<div align="center">
<i><strong>Newsletter</strong></i>
<p>

<font size="4" color="#000">

Please help us try to cut down our costs! <br />

The code re-written here, should in theory provide exactly the same page but, the code will be a lot more neater.

The code for the mail forms should be contained within two different PHP files.

Note: The names of these files are contained within the script itself. just look for the action part of the form start.

In order to get the forms to work, you simply have to look for different tutorials on the internet.

There are plenty of them out there.

One tutorial website to choose is:

Hope this helps you out!
