[HTML & CSS] Submit Button Help

[Peeeeeeeeeeynk]

Hey guys I have an input textarea and and a input submit, I want the button to work in a way so that when someone clicks it it will send the information  in the textarea to a Email Address.

 

How can you do this?

Using the PHP mail function. First you need to make sure you can send mail. To do this just make a test php page with the following code

<?php     mail("Email address to send to", "Subject line of message", "Message");?>

If you recieve the email to the test account, it worked. Next you need to get the message. I'm going to assume you're going to be sending all messages to one email address, although you can use the same method for the message to make the email adress dynamic as well. You need to create the file that the form is "actioned to" and put this in

<?php $raw = $_GET['message']; //If the form sends via post, obviously use post instead$message - htmlspecialchars($raw); //Emails can use have HTML in them.. You don't want someone embedding a nasty iframe in your email or somethingmail('example@[member='Example'].com', 'Important message', $message)?>

Fucking around with custom shit lol

Like stated above you will need some type of sever sided code to actually send the email.

Php is not the only one but, it is the most widely used outside of industry.
