![]() Hi guys, I need some help with my site. I'm trying to make a feedback form so i can read the feedback on another page or in an email but i don't want to use any server side stuff like PHP etc etc. Can anyone help me out?? |

![]() I'm not 100% sure I understand you, but I'll give it a shot. I understand everything but the "on another page" part. So you're saying that you want people to be able to either a) send you a feedback e-mail, or b) post a comment that will appear on a comments page? code: <form name = "feedback" method = "post" action = "mailto:name@address?subject=Feedback">

![]() ok I finally set out to use PHP the last few days and I've made a feedback form but i got a problem. Everythng works fine except when I say to send the feedback he only posts the "name" and "email" not the "message". This is what my pages look like: code: <form action="feedback.php" method="post" name="mail">
code: <b> Sender: </b> <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>,<br>

![]() Yup, this should go into the server-side forum, but I don't have the power to do that. Anyway, the answer to your problem is very simple. Take a close look at your code. What is the name of the textarea where the message goes? Now what name are you referring to in your PHP? They should be the same, but they're not--just change "textareaName" to "message" in your HTML and you'll be all set. |

![]() it's also a good idea to put a 'error_reporting(E_ALL);' at the beginning of your php code - that way php will warn you about unset variables. |

![]() Ok I got th feedback form running but what if I wanted to add some validation to it you know like if I want to have all the fields neccessary then what should I add to the script? |

![]() Did you take a look at the tutorial I posted above? Not that I don't want to help, but I think going through that tutorial will answer a lot of your questions (about things like validation, for example). It's very well done, and easy to modify. For your convenience, here it is again: |
