newbie cannot work this out

[barrycast]

Hopefully there is no such thing as a silly question - just discovered webnode- excellent free sitebuilder.

Cannot work out how to insert a form - could cut and paste the code from from a partner site - but how do I make the email come to me

Messed around with this all afternoon - I know there will probably be a simple solution but I cannot make it happen.

All help appreciated -

Regards

Form To Email PHP Form Mail Script is a php script I regularly use, its pretty decent and straight forward at setting up as it is only 1 script and requires only very minor alterations. Otherwise, there are a few third party stuff you could use, try having a look at bravenets free tools.

*Edit*

In your FormtoEmail.php script you need to simply add your email address at line 80:

$my_email = "email@email.com";

Then the FormToEmail.php script needs to be in the same level directory as the form. Then you enter the form code in your html page. I have had to use BB code withh it instead of HTML otherwise the form will appear instead of the code on the board. Just replace all [ ] with < >

[form action="FormToEmail.php" method="post"]
[table border="0" bgcolor="#ececec" cellspacing="5"]
[tr][td]Name[/td][td][input type="text" size="30" name="name"][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Email address[/td][td][input type="text" size="30" name="email"][/td][/tr]
[tr][td valign="top"]Comments[/td][td][textarea name="comments" rows="6" cols="30"][/textarea][/td][/tr]
[tr][td] [/td][td][input type="submit" value="Send"][font face="arial" size="1"]  [a href="http://FormToEmail.com"]Form Mail[/a] by FormToEmail.com[/font][/td][/tr]
[/table]
[/form]

Changing the size of the text boxes at will is size="30" and the amount of rows in the comment field with rows="6" and bgcolor="#ececec" to blend the form into the background colour of your webpage should be enough to customise it for you. You can also add fields as you wish. Simply copy/paste a new line and rename it.

That form will look like:

Name
Email address
Comments
	Form Mail by FormToEmail.com

Its very easy to edit, the form when filled in will call upon the FormToEmail.php script and forward the forms contents to your email address. Thought I would add that to make it a little bit simpler

If you have any problems let me know, you can move the text into the text fields very easily to, like I have with my blog in my sig. PM me if you need help. I just hope your hosting supports PHP

thanks for your help - didn't work though - I don't think you realise how inept I am !!

Think the issue is that I am using a site builder called webnode- it seems to insist on wufoo a free form service being used- you can imbed html but it didn't seem to like it.

Thanks though Tezza - I should really leearn some basic coding - old dog new trick etc

Nice looking service. When people come to me asking for free websites I might even point them in this dircetcion.

As an affiliate site I'm not so sure, but I have put a test online with some incoming links to get it started and see if it can perform...

re forms - I got this from the webnode faq:

Can I create and edit forms with WebNode?
Not yet, but we are working on this feature and we will release it soon. In case you need forms in your website right away, use third party services like Online HTML Form Builder Software - Create Free Forms & Surveys and add the form to the page as a widget.
