A bit confused about sending the contents of a contactform to the visitor

[Martin_1]

I am somewhat confused.
I have a contactform which a visitor fills with tye neccesary information. Now this form is submitted and the contents go to me. However I also want the contents being sent to the person who filled in the form.

I am not entirely sure how to achieve this.

I have set this:

$config[‘autoreply’] = true;

Is this correct or am I in the wrong place for what I want to achieve?

but I also see this:

* If you want the email to show from their name submitted from the name field as well, you
* can use the code:
*
* $config[‘autoreplyRecipient’] = array(‘%email%’ => ‘%name%’);

I don’t understand what is meant here.

Regards,

Martin

“If you copy the contents of emails/notification.php into emails/autoreply.php it will send all the form data to the user”

Could you elaborate a bit on this? Should I overwrite the contents of the emails/autoreply.php or just at it there?

Which part of the emails/notification.php should I copy? I can’t copy everything and add them because that would mean there are two body and html tags in one document :-).

Hm I did that and set $config[‘autoreply’] to true but it still doesn’t work. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I can’t seem to figure it out. Could you take a look at the files for me?

I am trying to get two forms on one page. The form I am currently working on is called contact.html and the processor is contact.php

Okay now I am really confused :-). I seem to be getting (as a visitor) a mail after waiting for over 3 hours. But it isn’t showing any comments. Just my name, emailaddress and IP number.

I would really appreciate if you could take a closer look at my code.

Hi Ally,

I will give it a try and see where it leads me :-). I assume it doesn’t really matter where I place this in the process file?
