Okay so this is kind of hard to explain but here we go. I need some help. I want to have a prefabricated email message with a mapquest modified directions form and written directions to our business center's location using a simple form for our employees to use.

the window our employees would look at would look like this

|==Form window==| <this is where our employees would put in the persons email addy
o location 1
o location 2
|SUBMIT|

The employee would enter the persons email and select which business center they are trying to reach and hit submit. In turn, this would send a prefabricated email.

The site / html page is on a local "server" (really just a shared drive amongst 7 computers on our systems) so it's not an internet live html operation nor an intranet. So yea, needing some help. Thank you in advance

You could use a simple PHP mail script:

PHP Code:

<?php
$to = $_REQUEST('email');
$center = $_REQUEST('center');
switch ($center) {
case "Center 1":
$message = "Message 1";
break;

case "Center 2":
$message = "Message 2";
break;
}
mail($to,"Subject",$message, "From: no-reply@yourdomain.com")
?>

In the above code, you change the 'email' and 'center' in brackets to the same as the name in the HTML form.

Hope that works.

I threw that in a new php blank page in dreamweaver but once i saved that code there was nothing on the page to enter anything into, just random code. I've never really done PHP so is there something I am missing as far as running that code?

[tomdkat]

The PHP code will need to be processed by the PHP engine, which will be on the web server serving the page. You can't run the above PHP code without having a PHP environment available.

Can you post a screenshot of what you got when you saw "random code"?

Peace...

Oh what I meant was it was just some php icon thingy inside the dreamweaver preview window.

For this html page, it's not sitting on a www.something.com server, it's just sitting as a file for our employees to view on a data storage server that all the staff computers see as a drive; in this case the F:/ drive. Therefor it's not running any type of PHP environment (nor would I know how to really set one up).

Here's some code inside something that might work (this is something i have working for another mailing purpose):

set myMail=server.createobject("CDONTS.NewMail")
myMail.to="x@x.com; x@x.com"
myMail.from="x-noreply@x.com"
myMail.subject="Referral Information Gathered [Referral]"
myMail.bodyformat=0
myMail.mailformat=0
myMail.body=HTML_STR
myMail.send

''end mail sending


%>

I don't know if you know java or not, but i need to have a form pointing to the "myMail.to=" box to maybe send the body message inside it. If i could figure out how to do that I could probably accomplish this. I've tried in the past but couldn't find a fix to this solution.

Any ideas?
