Form Process. Software

dom35 · 12-20-2005, 11:58 AM

I am preparing a simple site for a small but mid-upscale hotel (10 rooms). I already did the forms (Dreamweaver) for customers to ask for a reservation, but I do not know how to process later. I would like to receive amail telling me that someone is asking for info/reservation and answer quickly. May be there is something only for hotels.

I have also many other websites that I would like to develop, including the use of forms.

Can you please suggest me what software package it is good to proccess html forms ?. I found email processor pro,how good it is ?, what it is the best ?. I do not want to spend long time just trying to lern how to coding, I prefer to spending using a good program.

Many thanks

There are plenty of sites on google that will teach you.

Or if you have fantastico install phpform gen

The simplest solution is to put any CMS on your site. It will automatically send mail when the form will filled.

or just write in your page simplest php code
form for example:

Code:

      <form name="form1" method="post" action="/index.php">
        <p>Your name: <input type="text" name="fromname" value="<?=@HtmlSpecialChars($fromname)?>">
                    </p>
        <p>Your email:
          <input type="text" name="from" value="<?=@HtmlSpecialChars($from)?>">
        </p>
        <p>Question:
          <textarea name="body" cols=50 rows=4><?=@HtmlSpecialChars($body)?></textarea></p>
        <p> <input type="submit" name="doSend" value="Send!">   </p>
      </form>

and php code

Code:

<?
if(@$doSend) {
        if(mail("your@mail.info","Insert subject","$fromname - $from,\n\n$body\n\nAny other variables from your form","From:
 \"$fromname\" <$from>")) {
                echo "OK<br>\n";
        } else {
                echo "Error.<br>\n";
        }
}
?>

Do not forget to rename your .html to .php.
Hope it helps.
