This looks like a great form 72.
Now how do I implement this? I copied the whole code and made the contact.php file.
Since I can't directly link to it..I changed the name to contact1.php. I then could see the page, and I got it to send an email. But ofcourse the link back didn't work.
So how does this work with my site?
The main page will be an html.
I hope I am clear enough.
TY, Hooch

why not write this up as an "advanced contact forms" tutorial and submit it?

Here is the same method that I use,
It also includes a autoresponse.

just change the content as needed.

// keep people from accessing this page directly if (eregi('contact.php', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) { // go to index page header('Location: ../main.php?page=contact'); die(); } ?> Contact Form echo " * Denotes required fields. "; // put your email here $send_to = "youremail@your.com"; // This is what is displayed in the email subject line $subject = "Message from Your Website"; // This is displayed if all the fields are not filled in $empty_fields_message = " Please go back and complete all the fields in the form! "; // This is displayed when the email has been sent $thankyou_message = " Thankyou. Your message has been sent! =) << Back to Main "; // set up info $nowDay=date("m.d.Y"); $nowClock=date("H:i:s"); $http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" ); // You do not need to edit below this line $name = stripslashes($_POST['txtName']); $email = stripslashes($_POST['txtEmail']); $phone = stripslashes($_POST['txtPhone']); $message = stripslashes($_POST['txtMessage']); if (!isset($_POST['txtName'])) { ?> Name: * Email: * Phone: Contact? Yes No How did you find us? Advertisement Word of Mouth Search Engine Web Link Other Message: *   } elseif (empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($message)) { echo @$empty_fields_message; } else { // Stop the form being used from an external URL // Get the referring URL @$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; // Get the URL of this page @$this_url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; // If the referring URL and the URL of this page don't match then // display a message and don't send the email. if ($referer != $this_url) { echo "You do not have permission to use this script from another URL."; exit; } @$messageproper = // we now generate a nice form for emailing "Message recieved: $nowDay at $nowClock:\n\n" . "Email Sent From: $http_referrer\n\n" . "Name: $name\n\n". "Email: $email\n\n". "Phone Number: $phone\n\n". "Contact?: $contact\n\n". "Found site By: $found\n\n". "------------------------ COMMENTS ------------------------\n\n\n" . $message . "\n\n\n----------------------------------------------------------\n" ; // The URLs matched so send the email mail($send_to, $subject, $messageproper, "From: $name <$email>"); # Autoresponder ############################################################# // note , the . (dot) joins two strings. to end a string, use semi-colon ; $replysubject = "Query from Your Website" ; // send our subject header $replymessage = "Dear " . $name . "\n\nThank you for your email. \nIf you had so requested, we will get back to you as soon as possible. " . "\n\nRegards," . "\n Your Name Here" . mail( "$email", "$replysubject", "$replymessage\n\n", "From:$send_to" ); // Display the thankyou message echo $thankyou_message; } ?>

Hope it helps
