Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi everybody!

I was wondering if someone could help me with a form.
I used Dreamweaver MX to make my form, but I can’t get it to work properly!
My form opens the Outlook Express, but the content area stays empty! (where did I go wrong?)

My second problem is:

What can i do to prevent Outlook Express to open.
(I want the info mailed to me in the background)
How can i achieve such thing??

I attached my bad form I made in Dreamweaver!

Please help! ?

of course you can mail a form to an e-mailaddress while using mailto, but you need a script language to bundle all formfields to one body string.

@soccer362001Dec 09.2003 — If your server supports PHP I would use that instead.

The server my site runs on supports PHP 3+4, but I have no knowledge of PHP yet!

It also supports Perl 5.6!

@ctrl-tauthorDec 10.2003 — I tested the script and it works!!!

GREAT

Now I would like to add some formvalidation....

how can I do that in the script provided at www,webdevfaqs.com/php.php#mailer ??????

I need validation on

phonenumbers (containing only digits and dashes)

e-mail (containing "@" and some domain ".???")

a date (containing some year "1900" or "2002")

all enties filed

etc. etc.

Can I do this in the "mailer.php", or do I have to add a normal html-like validation in the formdocument???????

@olafDec 10.2003 — Hi,

it's up to you: You can use a serverside validation using php or you can do this onthe clientsise using Javascript. If you are familar with the clienside i suggest to this. The good point here is that no access to webserver is needed during the validation.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@soccer362001Dec 10.2003 — Yes I would recommend JavaScript for validation.

@screaming_banjoDec 10.2003 — Not sure if any are worthwhile, but there are some form validation scripts here:

May be worth a look!
