Hi Im new to PHP coding so please goes easy if i've done it all wrong. When ever i hit the submit button it just opens a new page. My page is hosted by Fasthost and they have a few requirements for the PHP code used on their servers. one is the "-f" in the $sent = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $message, $headers, "-f" . $email_from) line the other is $email_from=$_POST["email"]. My form code: <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="form/sendmail.php"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="38%"><label> <div align="right">Name</div> </label></td> <td width="62%"><input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" tabindex="1" size="50" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label> <div align="right">Address</div> </label></td> <td><textarea name="Address" cols="50" id="Address" tabindex="2"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label> <div align="right">Postcode</div> </label></td> <td><input name="Postcode" type="text" id="Postcode" tabindex="3" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label> <div align="right">Email</div> </label></td> <td><input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" tabindex="4" size="50" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label> <div align="right">Gender</div> </label></td> <td><select name="Gender" size="1" id="Gender" tabindex="5"> <option value="1">Male</option> <option value="2">Female</option> <option value="0" selected="selected">Please Select</option> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label> <div align="right">Age</div> </label></td> <td><select name="Age" size="1" id="Age"> <option value="0">Please Select</option> <option value="1"><16</option> <option value="2">17-20</option> <option value="3">21-25</option> <option value="4">26-30</option> <option value="5">31-35</option> <option value="6">36-40</option> <option value="7">41-45</option> <option value="8">46-50</option> <option value="9">50></option> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label> <div align="right">Would you prefer any further correspondence to be in Welsh Or English </div> </label></td> <td><select name="Correspondence" size="1" id="Correspondence"> <option value="0">Please Select</option> <option value="1">Welsh</option> <option value="2">English</option> </select> <label> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> <input name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset" value="Reset" /> </label></td> </tr> </table> </form> My PHP code: <?php $email_to="form@iter-research.co.uk"; $name=$_POST["name"]; $email_from=$_POST["email"]; $message=$_POST["name,Address,Postcode,Email,Gender,Age,Correspondence"]; $email_subject="Consultation Form"; $headers= "from:$email_from.\n"; "reply-to:$email_from.\n"; if(!filter_var($email_from, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { die("The email address entered is invalid."); $message = "Name: ". $name . "\r\nMessage: " . $message; ini_set("sendmail_from", $email_from); $sent = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $message, $headers, "-f" . $email_from); if($sent) { header("Location: " . http://www.iter-rese...hank_you.html); } else { echo "There has been an error sending your message. Please try later."; } ?> What am i doing wrong?? Many thanks Simon The form is on the get_involved page Iter-research

Thanks for the replys so far. I've realised over the last few weeks how much more i need to learn about seting up web pages. I'm going to try and get my head around div tags and CSS and then redesign, redesign,and redesing some more!!. I still cant seem to get the code right for my form. If anyone can help it would realy be appreciated. If anyone has any good links to online tutorials for div tags ect. let me know. Simon

Hi, I learnt how to use dreamweaver quite a few years ago. I am now trying to become a freelance research consultant and have designed a VERY basic site in dreamweaver. Any tips would be very grateful, please don't get to technical. I have a form on my site but have yet to get it to work so if anyone thinks they could help with the PHP coding i would be eternally grateful. Like i said it's a really basic site, but i would like it to be professional, if i can get some work out of this i'm going to spend some money getting it done better, but for now its all being done on a shoe string. Hope you can take five mins to reply. Simon iter-research
