Hi,
A new member so forgive me if the question seems basic to some people.
I have put together a basic website and I want to use a form to initiate contact from potential customers. The website is for my partner who has started her own business.
I have used iWeb to put the site together and created the form using a HTML snippet. In order for the form to send direct to her e-mail account, I did some research and found a simple php file that I could plagiarise for my own purposes.
However, when I have uploaded it, and then test it on the server, I get the following message;
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NS_SEPARATOR, expecting T_STRING in ......../public_html/index/Contact_files/contact.php on line 10
I am no expert in php writing. The main contact form (contact.html) is in the public_html/index directory and the contact.php file is as stated in the error message.
The php script I have is shown below (the correct e-mail address is substituted below for a generic fake);
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Website Contact - We would like a quote.....";
$First Name_field = $_POST['First Name'];
$surname_field = $_POST['surname'];
$address1_field = $_POST['address1'];
$town_field = $_POST['town'];
$postcode_field = $_POST['postcode'];
$telephone_field = $_POST['telephone'];
$mobile_field = $_POST['mobile'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$enquiry = $_POST['enquiry'];
�
$body = "From: $name_field $surname_field\n Address: \n $address1_field\n $town_field\n $postcode_field/n Contact: \n Telephone: $telephone_field\n Mobile: $mobile_field\n E-mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $enquiry";
�
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
} else {
echo "blarg!";
}
?>
Any ideas why I get the error that I do? The HTML snippet that creates the form in iWeb definitely has "contact.php" as the action for the form.
Thanks
Steve

I think that this is the code that you should be using if you use .PHP on your site.
<?php
header( 'Location: AFFILIATE LINK HERE' );
?>
Make sure you name your subsite something like this:
www.YOURSITE.com/myoffer.php

Thanks

embreys: $postcode_field/n Contact:
Maybe a forward slash instead of a backslash?

You can use this free service from http://www.emailmeform.com.
You can customize the contact form and paste the codes into your webiste.
