The form I created in HTML is located at
http://www.ebesign.co.nz/projects/justfixit/job_order_form.html
and has used javascript to validate the fields against spammers etc but
now I am looking to process it all in a php form using the mail
function.

Very easy to do once you understand how forms work with php .

Basically I want my form to gather all the information including check
boxes, drop down menu's and to email it to my client - simple enough
request but I don't know the code and cannot find a worth while
tutorial or php resource ( most out there are simple forms without
drops downs, etc )



<html>
<head>

<title>form.php</title>

</head>

<body>

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

<form action="form_submit.php" method="post">

<tr valign="top">
<td>Your Name:</td>
<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td><input type="text" name="phil_one" size="65"></td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<td>Comments:</td>
<td></td>
<td><textarea cols="65" rows="11" name="phil_two"></textarea></td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="SUBMIT"></td>
</tr>

</form>

</table>

</body>
</html>





<html>
<head>

<title>form_submit.php</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php
$demo1=$_POST['phil_one'];
$demo2=$_POST['phil_two'];
?>

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

<tr valign="top">
<td>The name you entered was:</td>
<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td><?php print $demo1; ?></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>The comments you entered are:</td>
<td></td>
<td><?php print $demo2; ?></td>
</tr>

</table>

<?php

$ewho="webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

$datesent=date("l dS of F Y h:i A");

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$subject="FROM THE WEBSITE FORM";

$mailhead="From: $ewho \n";

$mailbody ="This email was sent via the website form" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="NAME: " . "$demo1" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="COMMENTS: " . "$demo2" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="DATE: " . "$datesent" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="IP: " . "$ip" . "\n\n";

$body .=stripslashes($mailbody);

mail($ewho,$subject,$body,$mailhead);

?>

</body>
</html>


Basically all you have to do is learn a bit more about forms and add
your new knowledge to the above .

Drop down box selections and tick boxes are passed in the same way to
the next page - so its really just a matter of giving them a name that
doesnt clash with "phil_one" or "phil_two" .

"phil_three"
"phil_four"

etc would work fine .
