I created a new page, and only added an HTML module to it. Is there a tutorial section on using that module? I have been using VisualStudio to create some basic stuff and have a page that looks ok, but very basic for now. I'd like to know what I can and can't do, or get a basic understanding of what I can do with the module. I don't know why, but its feel like I can't create a full on webpage with it.

I guess all I am trying to figure out right now is how to make a php script work. I have fields I want users to fill out, then I want the data emailed to me. Still working on it, but right now I can't figure out how to make this work on the HTML module, or where to place it. I do have the html table up and it functions fine, minus getting the data sent to me.
This is the script I'm using, and am told it should work once I fill in my email and a few other touch-ups. But I have no clue where it goes yet.
Code:<?php if(isset($_POST['email'])) { // CHANGE THE TWO LINES BELOW $email_to = "[email protected]"; $email_subject = "website html form submissions"; function died($error) { // your error code can go here echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. "; echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />"; echo $error."<br /><br />"; echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />"; die(); } // validation expected data exists if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) || !isset($_POST['last_name']) || !isset($_POST['email']) || !isset($_POST['telephone']) || !isset($_POST['comments'])) { died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.'); } $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required $telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required $comments = $_POST['comments']; // required $error_message = ""; $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/'; if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) { $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/"; if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) { $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) { $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(strlen($comments) < 2) { $error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(strlen($error_message) > 0) { died($error_message); } $email_message = "Form details below.\n\n"; function clean_string($string) { $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href"); return str_replace($bad,"",$string); } $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n"; $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n"; $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n"; // create email headers $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n". 'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); ?> <!-- place your own success html below --> Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon. <?php } die(); ?>

And this is the html table I have in right now:
Code:<center> <h2 style="font-size: 120%; color: #9b3c25;">State Record Application Form</h2> <form name="htmlform" method="post" action="html_form_send.php"> <table width="450px"> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="first_name">First Name</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top""> <label for="last_name">Last Name</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="email">Street Address or PO Box</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="address" maxlength="80" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="email">City</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="city" maxlength="80" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="email">Zip</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="zip" maxlength="80" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="telephone">Phone Number</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="phone" maxlength="30" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="email">Email</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="telephone">Fishing Permit #</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="fish_permit" maxlength="30" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="telephone">Species of Fish</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="species" maxlength="30" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="telephone">Length - to nearest 1/8th inch</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="length" maxlength="30" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="telephone">Date Caught</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="date" maxlength="30" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> ( <a href="https://www.freecontactform.com/html_form.php">HTML Form</a> ) </td> </tr> </table> </form>

Scratch that, just tried a mailto: HTML code, doesn't work right and gave me trusted site warnings.
So I need to put the php script on the web server, which I guess I can not do becase I have VB Cloud. Has to be a way to make it work, doesn't seem too crazy.Comment

php modules are not available on Cloud Sites, and you cannot include php code in an html module.MARK.B
