Below is the php code starting from <!-- PHP CODE --> - copy, paste into new document and save it as - send_form.php
Change info@yourdomain.co.uk to your email address.
if the email goes through successfully it redirects to a success.html page (you have to create that with a message saying "Your email has been sent successfully". If it fails it redirects to a failure.html page (you have to create that with a failure message).
The email only gets sent IF all the form field are filled in which is what this line checks (if you want to allow a field to be empty then dont include it in the line of code)
if(!empty($the_name) || !empty($the_email) || !empty($vote) || !empty($choose_scale) || !empty($message))
There are other things you should do like check for a vaild email address but this will get you off the ground and running hopefully
<!-- PHP CODE -->
<?php
$email_from = "info@yourdomain.co.uk";
$email_to = "info@yourdomain.co.uk";
$subject = "Feedback from website";
$the_name = trim(stripslashes($_POST['the_name']));
$the_email = trim(stripslashes($_POST['the_email']));
$vote = trim(stripslashes($_POST['vote']));
$choose_scale = trim(stripslashes($_POST['choose_scale']));
$message = trim(stripslashes($_POST['message']));
// prepare email body text
$body .= "Name: $the_name\n";
$body .= "Email: $the_email\n";
$body .= "Vote: $vote\n";
$body .= "Scale: $choose_scale\n";
$body .= "Message: $message\n";
// send email
if(!empty($the_name) || !empty($the_email) || !empty($vote) || !empty($choose_scale) || !empty($message)) {
mail($email_to, $subject, $body, "From: <$email_from>");
// redirect to success page
header("Location: success.html");
}
else{
header("Location: failure.html");
}
?>
Below is the form html (I've amended it slightly)
