Sejj: Hey my bosses, am not a professional web designer but i created a website using a WYSIWYG software (Easy Website Pro). Please how do i make my form work cos i know it is PHP based.

all you need to know to achieve this is HTML FORM, PHP $_GET OR $_POST VARIABLES (ARRAY) AND PROBABLY THE PHP MAIL() FUNCTION. You write the html form and put the php script name as the value for the action attribute, then you get the submitted data with the $_GET or $_POST variables and probably send it to your mail using the mail function.

how can this code be improve.

/*
* convert datetime to UNIX timestamp
* @param $time date time formatted time
* which will be converted
* @return UNIX timestamp format for the
* supplied time
*/
function to_unix($time) {
// divide the the time into two sections date
//and time
$expl = explode(' ',$time);
//explode the date
$year = explode('-',$expl[0]);
//explode the time
$time = explode(':',$expl[1]);
// convert it into Unix timestamp using mktime function
$unix = mktime($time[0],$time[1],$time[2],$year[1],$year[2],$year[0]);
//return the new time.
return $unix;
}
$time = '2013-10-28 12:00:00';
echo to_unix($time);

Thought I would also be needing to add some database info. Guess I need to read up the whole tut. I got frustrated after the codes just stopped making sense and gave up. Thanks.

Please I need script that will make this form work. Thanks

I want it to mail the fields in the form to the company email

The whole form details is saved into an array either $_GET or $_POST.

Either field items can be identify by the form's name for example the text field with name, you can have in the input tag name='agent_name'

Then to that name you will either have $_POST['agent_name'] or $_GET['agent_name']

The above will hold anything that is typed into the input field called agent_name.

So that's how to handle the form.

To send the form, you can format your content then use the mail() function.

Also you might want to read more about which is best POST or GET but for now just know POST is more secure and you should use it, but there are cases where you just have to use GET

Thanks for the speedy reply but I know nothing about php programming. I totally undestand the POST and GETpart

Do you want to do it or somebody do it for you?

If you want to do it then you must know php a bit.

Currently the form is just static?

There is no way anybody can help you do it here, we don't have details of the form.

So just learn arrays and how to get its contents, learn forms and the mail() function then you will achieve this with no hitch

M starting my NIIT course really soon...

Just 4 cert sake... according to wat I hear dey don't teach much

this is an easy way

OR

that you code is not right o, when the was converted into date time it was not the same with what you converted, it yield 1932-01-29 15:09:08 which is wrong.
