    Default Form Help

    I was just testing the forms on my website. When I fill out the boxes and then click on submit, it goes directly to a send email page to send an email that does not contain any of the info that was put into the form. How do I get the form to submit with all the info that has been filled out?

    Your code :

    <FORM name="Advertising Form" method="POST" action="mailto:adver????ing@parents-connection.com"

    shows that you have set the action in "mailto: ....". Please read again the text under the multimedia preasentation in BlueVoda Form Tutorial 1 and you will see that the mailto will in most cases fail to send the info. You need a php script instead, like the one presented in the tutorial, or ABVFP

    Red face Re: Form Help

    Okay...I am going crazy here!!! I tried all of the above and nothing is working. I followed all the instructions and all it is doing is redirecting to the page that I was suppose to save as action.php. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME? I have four forms on my site:

    www.parents-connection.com/kitchen
    www.parents-connection.com/supportourtroops
    www.parents-connection.com/storyform
    www.parents-connection.com/advertisingform

    Each one just goes directly to my email.
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you so much!

    is not a form at all. The submit a soldier button sends to the "action.php page, where the real submit a soldier form is. This one has both the method set correctly as POSt and the action set as "action.php" which means that it submits to itself. This means also that the php script should be pasted in the "Inside Body" part of your page code. But since it is php, i cannot see if it's there or not, nor see if your script is correct.

    In the other forms, you have the action set to "mailto" which is wrong, and in some of them the method is "GET" instead of the correct "POST".

    Then, if you want to use the same php script for all your forms, the scipt should not be in the page with the "Submit a soldier" form, but in a standalone page, which would be your "thankyou" page

    well that page has a link to the correct form
    www.parents-connection.com/soldierform

    the action should be action.php Right?
    But earlier I saved a page to that since that is what the tutorial stated and now it's directing all my forms to that page. I have tried get and post and nothing seems to be working. What else can I do?

    Let's clarify things:

    All your forms should have as action the php script, or the page that has the php script in it. This should be INDEPENDENT from your form pages, in a page called f.e. "thankyou" or "confirmation" or wharever you want. The script should be in the "Inside Body" of this page, which needs to be published as php. ALL your forms should have the "action" set to "thankyou.php" (if this is how you shall name this page", and the method to "POST". Do these changes and also post here the code you have used for your script.
