Trying to send <cfmail>
from a contact us static page. It will have a single recipient and I don't want to save it on the back end.
<cfcase value="contact">
<cfset caller.mainTitle = "Contact Us">
<div id="contact_form">
<cfform method="post" action="contact2" id="usrform">
First Name<br>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="firstName" value="First Name" onfocus="if (this.value=='First Name') this.value='';">
<br>
Last Name<br>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="lastName" value="Last Name" onfocus="if(this.value=='Last Name') this.value ='';">
<br>
Email<br>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="email" value="Email" onfocus="if(this.value=='Email') this.value='';">
<br>
Phone Number<br>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="phone" value="Phone Number" onfocus="if(this.value =='Phone Number') this.value='';">
<br>
<input type="submit" class='submitBtn'>
</cfform>
<br>
</div>
<div class="commentsTop">
<p style="color:black; font-size:18px; text-align:left;">We would love to hear from you!<p><br>
<textarea class="comments" rows="10" cols="100" name="comment" form="usrform" onfocus="if(this.value=='Enter your message here...') this.value='';">Enter your message here...</textarea>
</div>
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="contact2">
<cfmail to="test@test.com" from="tester@test.com" Subject="Message From Contact Us" type="HTML">
</cfmail>
</cfcase>
I have a form that I want to have attached as the body of the email. Wasn't sure if I need to have the form as a <cfform>
or if that doesn't matter.
Here is what I will do:
I will use Normal html form (cfform is also fine) Give action to form (it can be same page or you can have separate submit page.)
On submit page I will write logic to send mail.(if its simple mail sending and nothing complex is happening then cfm page is fine otherwise CFC is preferred)
Contactus.cfm
<form method="post" action="submitform.cfm" id="usrform">
First Name<br>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="firstName" value="First Name" onfocus="if (this.value=='First Name') this.value='';">
<br>
Last Name<br>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="lastName" value="Last Name" onfocus="if(this.value=='Last Name') this.value ='';">
<br>
Email<br>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="email" value="Email" onfocus="if(this.value=='Email') this.value='';">
<br>
Phone Number<br>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="phone" value="Phone Number" onfocus="if(this.value =='Phone Number') this.value='';">
<br>
<input type="submit" class='submitBtn'>
</form>
Submitform.cfm
Make sure you are passing correct credential and server details in cfmail
<cfmail to="test@test.com" from="tester@test.com" Subject="Message From Contact Us" type="HTML">
<!--- Your message body (you can use your form variable here) --->
FistName: #form.firstName#
LastName: #form.lastName#
</cfmail>
