    text
    copied!<p>I've taken the first part of this tutorial: <a href="http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/custom-php-contact-forms/" rel="nofollow">http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/custom-php-contact-forms/</a> and edited to suit my needs but when I click Submit on the form it takes me to the php page. </p> <p>When I click submit I want it to submit the form and the result of the form be emailed to me. I dont know PHP (hence why I was looking at a tutorial), so it is probably a really silly mistake :/</p> <p>My HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="mail.php" method="POST"&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Apply&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div class="alert alert-info"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recruitment Status:&lt;/strong&gt; Open!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;hr&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;label&gt;Minecraft Username&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" placeholder="Very important!" name="username"&gt; &lt;label&gt;Which are you best at?&lt;/label&gt; &lt;select name="BestAt"&gt; &lt;option&gt;Mining&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Hunting&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Farming&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;PvP&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Raiding&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Building&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Redstone&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Other&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;label&gt;How many hours are you online each day?&lt;/label&gt; &lt;select name="TimeOnline"&gt; &lt;option&gt;Less than 2 hrs&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;2-4 hrs&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;4-6 hrs&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;6-8 hrs&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;8-10 hrs&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;More than 10 hrs&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;label&gt;What rank are you?&lt;/label&gt; &lt;select name="rank"&gt; &lt;option&gt;Default&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Member&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Tier 1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Tier 2&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Tier 3&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Tier 4&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Tier 5&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Moderator&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Admin/Owner&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;label&gt;What country do you live in?&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" placeholder="Which Country?" name="country"&gt; &lt;label&gt;How old are you?&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" placeholder="Optional" name="age"&gt; &lt;label&gt;Previous factions and why you left?&lt;/label&gt; &lt;textarea rows="10" placeholder="One faction per line" name="PreviousFactions"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;label&gt;Why do you want to join Kando?&lt;/label&gt; &lt;textarea rows="4" placeholder="Should be atleast 2 sentences" name="WhyYouWantToJoin"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;hr&gt; &lt;p&gt;You may provide us with your forum username rather than email address or vice versa.
