Send to e-mail after validation

Maybe a simple question, but ok...

How can you let the script send the information given in my form to an e-mail address?

Thanks in advantage...

I guess this is not a question for the class, but a general php one.

You can email through your script using the function mail

A simple example of mail is the one bellow :

Code:

<?php
mail('mail@adress.com', 'Subject', 'message');

check the example for this code:

Code:

<?php
if ($example->validation()) {
// replace this text if you like...

at "//replace..." use this kind of mail script: http://www.finalwebsites.com/snippets.php?id=3

Can you tell me where I have to place the code?

This is a common error. You missed a bracket or something like that ( {}; )

Silver,

the code must look like:

Code:

<?php 
include("validation_class.php");
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$example = new Validate_fields;
$example->check_4html = true;
$example->add_text_field("Simple_text", $_POST['string'], "text", "y");
$example->add_num_field("Number", $_POST['number'], "number", "n", 0, 5);
$example->add_num_field("Number_with_decimals", $_POST['decimal'], "decimal", "n", 2);
$example->add_date_field("Euro_date", $_POST['date'], "date", "eu", "n");
$example->add_check_box("Check_box", "check", "checkbox");
$example->add_link_field("Email_address", $_POST['email'], "email");
$example->add_link_field("internet_link", $_POST['url'], "url", "n");
if ($example->validation()) {
$goto_after_mail = "thanks.htm"; // this is the page which is shown after the mail is submitted
$from_mail = $_REQUEST['from_email'];
$from_name = $_REQUEST['from_name']; // use both value's from your form
$header = "From: \"$from_name\" <$from_mail>\r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"utf-8\"\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";
$subject = "Your webform posted at ".date("d-m-Y"); //your mailsubject incl. current date
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $val) {
if ($key != "from_email" && $key != "from_name") { //skip, this values are already in the header
$body .= $key . " : " . $val . "\r\n";
}
}
if (mail("you@yourmail.com", $subject, $body, $header)) {
header("Location: ".$goto_after_mail);
} 
} else {
$error = $example->create_msg();
}
}
?>
but there is more to do...but you know that right?

Ok thank you very much. I fixed it and now I receive the forms.
