mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
Is this right or am i way off well those who can help thanx in advance

The instructions clearly say that you should ONLY change the parts in BLUE. You have also changed the third line and it is WRONG.
Then, you have also missed the closing tag: ?> at the end of the script.

The script must be pasted in the Inside Body (or Between head, or Start of page, it is not important) of your THANKYOU page. The thank you page MUST be published as php. And, the action of the form, must be the same as as the thankyou page name.
So, if your thank you page is saved as "thankyou", and this means that it is published as "thankyou.php", the action of the form MUST be "thankyou.php".

First- in looking at your source code for your form, all the fields are named
Editbox1, Editbox2, Editbox3 etc........... which is fine except that no field is named "email". Therefore, it does not pluck an email address from which to work with the code provided and thus hangs. So- please name your text box that houses the e-mail address of the sender to - email

Second- as Naval has stated in the other post, only make changes to the lines in Blue.

So- make the necessary changes and try again. IF that does not work- please copy exactly the php code you are using and post in this thread. No need to open a new thread.

ive changed all the values in the contact form as you said and now it looks as though it will work however when i hit submit it says page cannot display my theres no link between my contact page and my thank you page http://www.lifestylesolutions.com.cn/contactlsscn.php
http://www.lifestylesolutions.com.cn/contactlsscn.php

<?PHP
$mailto = "pdar332010******.ca";
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
if ($email == "") {
$email = $mailto;
}
$mailsubj = "Youve had a visitor to lsscn";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "contactlsscn" :\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>

The form action is "thankyou" it should have a .php extension.
example: thankyou.php

Give that a try and it should work.

Andy

i have added the php extension it still does not work should my thank you the example in the change the values in the blue but in the text area of that example it says email and email subject what should go in the third line ex.<?PHP
$mailto ="exampleemail@example.com";*
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
if ($email == "") {
$email = $mailto;
}
$mailsubj = "Type your mail subject here";*
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form :\n";What goes here ?
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>

is this what should be in my thank you page and is there any code that applys to mycontact page for some rason my contact submiision goes to cannot be displayed ie page at the top address bar it is
http://www.lifestylesolutions.com.cn/thankyou.php but its like it doesnt exhist thanks to all in advance willing to help out this rookie

Do not change the third line. The error is that the thankyou.php page is not on the server. Have you published the thankyou.php? Open the thankyou page in the web builder and make sure you have:

Checked the php extension
Check the spelling that you named the page- it should be thankyou not- Thankyou or thank_you or Thank You etc.......
Make sure to publish

Then try again.
