| | | | Sending an Email | | | | | |
Note: We will assume a subject of "Contact Us Submission" for the following examples.
To send an email with the contents of the form to info@mydomain.com, use:
$ffForm->email("info@mydomain.com", "Contact Us Submission");
| | | | |
| | | | Adding a From Address | | | | | |
To send an email with the contents of the form from john@hotmail.com to info@mydomain.com, use:
$ffForm->email("info@mydomain.com", "Contact Us Submission", "john@hotmail.com");
| | | | |
| | | | Adding Multiple Addresses | | | | | |
To send an email from john@hotmail.com and suzy@hotmail.com to peter@hotmail.com and mike@gmail.com, use:
$ffForm->email("peter@hotmail.com,mike@gmail.com", "Contact Us Submission",
"john@hotmail.com,suzy@hotmail.com");
| | | | |
| | | | Sending Multiple Emails | | | | | |
To send separate emails to peter@hotmail.com and mike@gmail.com, use:
$ffForm->email("peter@hotmail.com", "Contact Us Submission");
$ffForm->email("mike@gmail.com", "Contact Us Submission");
| | | | |
| | | | Using an Entered Email Address | | | | | |
Let's say your form contains a field where a customer can enter his/her email address:
$ffForm->addField(new EmailAddrField("email", "Email", FORM_FIELD_REQUIRED));
To send an email to this address, use:
$ffForm->email($ffForm->getValue("email"), "Contact Us Submission");
To send an email to this address and mike@gmail.com, use:
$ffForm->email($ffForm->getValue("email") . ",mike@gmail.com", "Contact Us Submission");
To send an email from this address and mike@gmail.com, use:
$ffForm->email("info@mydomain.com", "Contact Us Submission",
$ffForm->getValue("email") . ",mike@gmail.com");

| | | | HTML Emails | | | | | |
With FORMfields, you can send customizable HTML emails and even attachments. The following example can be downloaded here.
$to = "webmaster@yourdomain.com";
$cc = "someone@yourdomain.com"; // optional
$bcc = "someone@yourdomain.com"; // optional
$from = $ffForm->getValue("email"); // optional
$subject = "Contact Us Submission";
// The msgHeader is the portion of text that preceeds the field values.
$msgHeader =
"Dear Admin,<br /><br />"
. "The following was submitted using your website:<br /><br />";
// The msgFooter is the portion of text that follows the field values
$msgFooter =
"<br/>John Smith<br />"
. "XYZ Company<br />"
. "http://www.xyz.com<br />";
// If you don't like the defaulted CSS styles, you can include another style sheet.
$cssFile = "email.css"; // optional
// You can include attachments by populating an array as follows.
$attachments[0] = array("../calendar.gif", "calendar.gif"); // optional
$attachments[1] = array("../palette.gif", "palette.gif"); // optional
$useHtml = true;
$ffForm->email($to, $subject, $from, $cc, $bcc, $msgHeader,
$msgFooter, $attachments, $useHtml, $cssFile);
The above example will yield an email that looks like:

| | | | Text Emails | | | | | |
Here is an example of how to send a text email:
$to = "webmaster@yourdomain.com";
$subject = "Contact Us Submission";
// The msgHeader is the portion of text that preceeds the field values.
$msgHeader =
"Dear Admin,\n\n"
. "The following was submitted using your website:\n";
// The msgFooter is the portion of text that follows the field values
$msgFooter =
"John Smith\n"
. "XYZ Company\n"
. "http://www.xyz.com\n";
// You can include attachments by populating an array as follows.
$attachments[0] = array("../calendar.gif", "calendar.gif"); // optional
$attachments[1] = array("../palette.gif", "palette.gif"); // optional
$useHtml = false;
$ffForm->email($to, $subject, $from, $cc, $bcc, $msgHeader,
$msgFooter, $attachments, $useHtml, $cssFile);

| | | | Auto Responders Without Form Data | | | | | |
The following example illustrates how to send an auto responder email, without the form data, to the user who completed the form. The following example can be downloaded here.
// Add an auto responder
$mailForm = new FormForm();
$responderTo = $ffForm->getValue("email");
$responderSubject = "Contact Us Submission";
$responderFrom = "webmaster@yourdomain.com";
$responderCC = "someone@yourdomain.com"; // optional
$responderBcc = "someone@yourdomain.com"; // optional
$responderMessage =
"Dear " . $ffForm->getValue("name") . ",<br /><br />"
. "Thank you for completing our form.<br /><br />"
. "John Smith<br />"
. "XYZ Company<br />"
. "http://www.xyz.com<br />";
$mailForm->email($responderTo, $responderSubject, $responderFrom,
$responderCC, $responderBcc, $responderMessage);
The above example will yield an HTML email that looks like:
