This is a form I wanted to write for a project about our schoolteam.
They have to fill in a questionary , and then click the Send button to send me the results. How can I get them to send it to me ?

I know you got to know some PHP to be able to write it , but I don't , so that's why I am asking for some help.

So any help would be welcome, someone bit experienced writing the stuff I can't.

Thanks a lot

You don't need PHP to create the form just to process the submitted data. You also need to decided if you are going to send the data using GET or POST. Get puts the data into the url whilst POST sends it differently. Also how are you intending to store the data?

Damn

I suck at this ...

Is there anyone who can help me at all ?

I don't know the difference between post and get , but I'd take get

It's a simple site I'd make, only to be used for like 100 people or so.

Would simply to be to vote who they prefer in the team , and then just send the answers to me in an email which I can put in a wordfile then.

Problem is that I know nothing about these codes etc.

The code I got a friend even wrote for me.

[code] if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
show_form();
}else{
email();
}

function email()
{

$your_name = '';
$subject = '';
$moves = '';
$PoY = '';

if ((!isset($_POST['name']))||(!isset($_POST['moves']))||(!isset($_POST['PoY'])))
{
show_form();
echo "";
}else{
//prep the email
$to="me@mydomain.com";

//get form data
$your_name = $_POST['name'];
$subject = "Vote for player of the year"
$moves = $_POST['moves'];
$PoY = $_POST(['PoY'];

//add the headers to create the html email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "From: admin\nX-Mailer: PHP Automated Mailer";

//prep the body of the email
$body="Player of the year: \t$PoY\n\nBest Moves:\t\t$moves";

if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)){
echo "mail sent";
}else{
echo "mail failed";
}//end if
}//end if
} //end function

function show_form()
{
?>
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

it's late and I'm tired.

Use[code]if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
display_form;
} else {
handle submitted data here
}[/code]

Also don't worry about this[code] $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "From: admin\nX-Mailer: PHP Automated Mailer"; [/code]because the emails are only for you and they will only be text.
