OK... I just found out the original posts have been deleted.

Make a page and save it as action, go to page properties and change them to php. You can title it THANK YOU and put whatever you want on the page itself.

Go to page html--start of page-- and copy and paste this code in:

<?PHP
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
$mailto = "youremail@yourdomain.com";
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
if ($email == "") {
$email = $mailto;
}
$mailsubj = "Email from Our Contact Form";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n"
. "MIME-Version: 1.0"."\r\n"
. "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8"."\r\n"
. "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"."\r\n"
. "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion();

reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);

$mailstart = "Values submitted from website form :\n";

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
$mail_message = $mailstart.$mailbody;
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, stripslashes($mail_message), $mailhead);

$responder_start = "Thank you for submitting your info.
Here is a copy of your submission";

$mailhead = "From: Your Site Title <$mailto>\n"
. "MIME-Version: 1.0"."\r\n"
. "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8"."\r\n"
. "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"."\r\n"
. "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion();
$responder_subject = "Thank you for contacting us!";
$responder_message = $responder_start.$mailbody;

mail($email, $responder_subject, stripslashes($responder_message), $mailhead);
}
?>

Make sure that on the form page, which is a different page you title the form box "email' in lower case. You can edit the parts in red, You change the email address of couse and in the form properties you change the action to action.php . Use multiform/data and post.

You can probably change/edit the form you currently have. This will email your client.

Send all thanks to NavalDesign as he gave me the codes.

Re: Auto Responders

Hi, Karen

My name is Frank. I have a question regarding the autoresponder code
and what I want the autoresponder to do for me.

I've set up the autoresponder already and I do get the imputed text
in the fields on the forms of my website so that's ok.

My question is, how do i get a sample message when I enter my own
info on the forms? I want to get my own created message to see if I
did the email correct with formating and such.

When i did this on another website I was also getting the sample
message sent to me along with the entered text of the prospect and
now I can't make it send me my messages for my approval!

What could I be doing wrong?

P. S.
I did try your version about inserting the code in the start page and all
I got was a confirmation that I filled the form and that's ok but I would
prefer my prepared message that I created in the control panel under
autoresponder, by the way i created also a main email account with that
autoresponder address as instructed, so I don't know no mo!

Here is my website, it's a two field form at the bottom of every page.
http://www.TheFiveStarMarketingGroup.com and the contact us page.

I want to thank you ahead of time just in case you can make this happen
for me, I'm just out of ideas! I just wanted to see my own email first
before I sent it out.

Thank you
Francisco Tinoco Jr

Opps!

I forgot I do have this code in my contact us thank you page

page html - beginning of body -

<?PHP
$mailto = "franktjr@thefivestarmarketinggroup.com";
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
if ($email == "") {
$email = $mailto;
}
$mailsubj = "From the Contact us Page";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form :\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>


That's it!
Thanks
