Build a PHP Script to Send Email – Dreamweaver Tutorial

I tried this PHP code, and when I receive the email, there is no content and the email appears to come from an “unknow sender”.  I have a shared server with GoDaddy, and they indicated that I need to include “relay-hosting.secureserver.net” somewhere in the PHP code, but I’m a rookie with PHP and not sure how to do this.  I’m also not sure if this is the problem that is causing the labels to be sent without the content or data??  Please help as I’d love to get this working.  Thanks!!

Hi Nathaniel,

But now I have the same ‘problem’ as mentioned below, I cannot find the document htmltophp. Can you help me with that?

Hey Nathaniel, 
How do I fix this error :   Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /home/a3757721/public_html/contactformprocess.php on line 10

in line 10  I have this:
 Gathering Data Variables */ $emailField = $_POST [’email’];  (line10) $nameField = $_POST [‘name’]; $phoneField = $_POST [‘phone’];     $budgetField = $_POST [‘budget’]; $travelersField = $_POST [‘travelers’]; $commentsField = $_POST [‘comments’]; $newsletterField = $_POST [‘newsletter’];

I dont seem to have a download option…?

As stated in a previous comment from another user, I also needed to take out the word field for my form to work properly but in general I found your tutorials really easy to follow and I just wanted to say a massive thank you!

Nate :your 4 yEAR  OLD  php SCRIPT FOR EMAIL FORMS WAS FANTASTIC.nOW IF ONLY I CAN FIND THE ZIP/RAR FILES
(TUTVID SITE HAS CHANGED CONSIDERABLY SINCE THEN)
YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT [email protected] .COM  WITH THE url  OF THE FILES

I did this tutorial and successfully ONCE got the form to work. Now I’m trying it again, using the code that WORKED (this is not yelling, only putting emphasis on the word), and following all the same steps. But when I get down to the EOD; close before echo, it doesn’t show code coloring, which I understand that it means it’s NOT working.

Any suggestions? Also, how do you get the checkboxes to download in the email results?

Sweet tutorial brother!…. it worked like a charm!….do you mind creating a second part of this tutorial but with a upload file field on this form?….I had been searching all around for this …and is all useless!!….i kinda like the way you explained things!!!…. i don’t know nothing about php and i just code my first page thanks to you man!  but i kinda lost  on how to make this field work with the form….and received a file(image) attached to the email that this form is producing.

thanks

man!!!
Abel

some help here please. i changed the Email: $email to Email: $emailField and all but it still dont show me any content in the mail… anybody?

where are the files to download on revised site?

I have tried everything and I can’t get the email address field to work. It comes up as Email: when it sends me the form in my email address. It also doesn’t show the email address of who it is from. Everything else in the form and submission part worked. If anyone can help me with the Email address field I would greatly appreciate it. Please email me at [email protected].
