Ok, I know this must be easy, but I'm exhausted and can't figure this out.
So i have a form built already, my host provides me with a cgi script. here is all the info i get:
Welcome to BlueHost.Com's Form Mailer -
The form mailer requires that you have a basic knowledge of HTML forms. The form mailer has the following options that can be configured for your use.
sendtoemail - This is the email address that the completed form will be mailed to. (Required)
text - If you set this value to 1 emails will be sent in plain text instead of HTML. (Not required)
redirect - This is the URL that you want the user sent to AFTER submitting the form. (Not required)
mailfrom - This will make the mail sent to 'sendtoemail' be 'From:' 'mailfrom'. (Not required)
Below is a sample form:
<form action="http://www.bluehost.com/bluemail">
Name: <input type="text" name="Name"><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="mailfrom"><br>
Street Address: <input type="text" name="StreetAddress"><br>
City: <input type="text" name="City"><br>
Zip: <input type="text" name="Zip"><br>
Phone: <input type="text" name="Phone"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="sendtoemail" value="webmaster@mcpainting.com"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send Email">
</form>
Thats it, what am i suppose to do with that? I want a form like this: http://www.classicshades.com/request.htm
I copied the form source and put my info, this is my source:
<form action="http://www.bluehost.com/bluemail" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="sendtoemail" value="estimaterequest@mcpainting.com"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.mcpainting.com/index.html">
I tested it and it works "ok" but when i get the info mail to me i get this :
Your BlueMail form has been completed, following are the results:
Field Value redirect http://www.mcpainting.com/index.html 5_how_I_found_website Test
4_type_of_work Repaint Exterior 16_description_of_work Test test test test work
1_start_date timing is flexable 2_factor Price 6_name Mark 7_job_address 1234 Sesame

3_best_time_to_reach_me 12AM Submit Submit
It's all messy! Can someone help. thanks!
