nutbar 0 Posted November 18, 2001 Heh, Rob, there is no way to modify that submition form to send you an email buddy. It's using PHP which would do the emailing itself. Best you can do is TRY changing the post="..." to post="mailto:your@email.com" but that will not work. You need a special magic wand to make a submition form do anything neat HTML just displays data, it doesn't manipulate it :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutbar 0 Posted November 18, 2001 Oh and Rob, please, tell me that jesus.com or whatever is NOT really your webpage. If so, I do web design professionally if you'd like, My rates are quite reasonable, and I'd think I've got some talent. http://nutbar.chemlab.org/ Any further requests for web design assistance will cost ya Yep, that's right, I even charge Jesus... unless I could get in on a nice bubblebath with that Melissa chick there...

Rob 1 Posted November 18, 2001 thx alot RED but it didn't realy help. all i need to know is how people send the info to there inbox? goto opflashpoint and look at there submit news. then goto the source, goto the bottom of the pg and around that area shows thing is set up. when u submit anything it says thanku ur info has been sent to the amin or wot ever, all this info goes straight to there e-mail address. im making a site with someone and all he has is submit the news straight to his e-mail. that doesn't really help and wastes peoples time. considering the mail only gives round 1.50 megs of space to send when on websites u can submit almost wotever u want. <span style='color:red'>AND NO THATS NOT MY REAL SITE> IT WAS JUST A LUAGH!</span> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RN Malboeuf 12 Posted November 18, 2001 did you copy this from another site? your last post sugest that you did, if so your site must have the PHP or a FORM MAIL CGI in order for this to work show me the site that you want this on, I may also need access you can look at our source code here <a href="http://www.roughnecks.org/join.html you'll" target="_blank">http://www.roughnecks.org/join.html you'll</a> notice that the next page goes to a thank you page this goes right under the EMAILTO line i added <input type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.roughnecks.org/thankyou.html"> just change the link to where you want yours to go email me if you need more help (Edited by RN Malboeuf at 9:25 am on Nov. 18, 2001) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutbar 0 Posted November 21, 2001 Not to start a flame war, but RN Malboeuf, did you not see my first post stating that none of this would work, and that he'd have to use PHP if he were to try and use the original source? "PRFESIONALS REALLY lol I doubt you guys even know whats going on EMAILTO does work in a PFP since the Method=POST you guy make me laugh with your ignorant just add this but don't say where to add it posts!" Just so you know, I am not one of the ignorant folk, and I know exactly what's going on. I offered my help, but I'm not going to do this for free. Such is life.
