How to get this email form working?

[GoldenMerc]

Well i just baught a layout and its got a email function for people to apply for beta and it just doesn't seem to be working, apparently it gets your email to send their emails from via emails.txt although it doesn't seem to be working heres the codes;

</ul>
            <form action="mail.php" method="post" id="form-email">
                <p>
                    <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="Please  enter your e-mail address here to apply for beta!"/>
                </p>
                <p>
                    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="" />
                </p>
            </form>

Then in email its just got my email and thats it?

<?php
mail('[email protected]', 'SMS2PAYPAL', "from {$_POST['email']}");
?>

Put that for mail.php

That doesn't seem to work, heres all the codes

function isValidEmailAddress(emailAddress) {
var pattern = new RegExp(/^(("[\w-\s]+")|([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)|("[\w-\s]+")([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*))(@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$)|(@\[?((25[0-5]\.|2[0-4][0-9]\.|1[0-9]{2}\.|[0-9]{1,2}\.))((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\.){2}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\]?$)/i);
return pattern.test(emailAddress);
}



/*FORM validation and div changing*/
$(document).ready(function() { 
    $().click(function (ev) {
        var $target = $(ev.target);
          if( !$target.is("input") ) {
                $("input#email").val('Please  enter your e-mail address here to apply for beta');
          }
    }); 

    $("#email").click(function() {
            $("input#email").val('');
    });
    
    $("#submit").click(function() {
        var email = $("input#email").val();
        if(!isValidEmailAddress(email)){ 
            $("input#email").focus();
            $("input#email").val('Enter a valid e-mail');
         return false;
        }
    });
    
    /*form submit*/
    $("form#form-email").submit(function() {
        var email = $("input#email").val();
        $.ajax({
            url:'mail.php',
            type:'post',
            data: "email="+email,
            success: function(msg){
                if (msg==1)
                    $("input#email").val('Thank you, your application has been recieved');
                else
                    $("input#email").val('Some trouble on sending');
            }
        });
        return false;
    });
/*end formsubmit*/
});

and then thats it, it just wont submit, what i want it to do is send me a email at [email protected] with the beta's application just the email address really. but it just doesn't seem to be working...

<?php
if($_POST['submit']) {
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
mail('[email protected]','subject','message')
echo 'Thanks for signing up';
} else {
<form action="" method="post">
Enter your email here: <input type="text" name="email" /> <br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit!" />
</form>
}
?>

Wouldn't it just be more effective if you created a mailing list instead since all you need is an email address?

<?php

$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
mail('[email protected]','subject','message')
echo 'Thanks for signing up';

<form action="" method="post">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit!" />
</form>
}

Actually it would be:

<?php
if($_POST['submit']) {
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
mail('[email protected]','putYourSubjectHere','their email address: '.$email)
echo 'Thanks for signing up';
} else {
<form action="" method="post">
Enter your email here: <input type="text" name="email" /> <br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit!" />
</form>
}
?>

my bad on the errors in that code. try this:

http://totalbasketball.herobo.com/test/form.php
http://totalbasketball.herobo.com/test/form.phps

edit - tested + working. just add the regex and style

[GoldenMerc]

says some trouble on sending with that one

[Trigs]

What? Was there an error or something? BTW the form.php uses my email so you won't get it. I got it so it's working. Just use the source and change the info within mail();
