No, not the ride...

I got another problem for you all to sort out!

When I submit things from a text box on a 'big' site like Yahoo, the text just gets sent to them at one click of a button. There are no popups or anything...

Is there a way for me to do this?

I don't want to use the javascript way as it pops up with a message saying about sending the data by email.

I just want them to have one click and then me to be able to retreive the data they sent me...

How would I do this?

Could I do something like this using Flash or would it not work?

Basically, they click button, data gets sent with no pop-ups, I then retreive data somehow...

Yep, if the server doens't support PHP it will show the PHP Code, as you noted :o).

Don't worry, I got an editor thing and then tried it out. All of the ### lined up nicely and it all worked!

I also found out what happens when your server doesn't support PHP!

Take a look at that!

Whoah!

If I ever send you another Script, I'll send it as a txt file and let you 'save as' to make it a PHP, sorry about the 4 line thing, but that wasn't how I wrote it, honest :o)

Those #### are comments, but they were lined up neatly when I wrote them, they should have been like that when you got it, sorry.

Anyway, it will work on Freeola and ANY host who supports PHP :o)

aha! I got it working now!

Thanks for that, I had to download an editor to get it to show up properly but it's all working!

Freeola works with it, I wonder if there are any others...

It's rather confusing in notepad form!

There are a lot of these randomly placed:

And it's all written in 4 lines!

Use notepad, and just change the $Send_To E-mail address to your and Upload it to your Web Space and see if it works

yeah, thats just a form for submitting data. what he really needs is the function that will email the data to him. use the following code on ur form page:

......

and in a page called mail.php, you need to use the mail() function. i dont know how much you know about PHP, but if you download the PHP manual that should be enough. otherwise, just ask for help.

Do you mean a form that submits the data and sends it to you as an email?

I got this from the BTinternet webpage, so maybe your ISP will have something on it. But there might be some things that will get it to work for you. Change some settings here and there...

I don't have a clue about web editing though, so I might have just posted complete rubbish there. :o)
