<p>All you have to do is input the url of your web site and select from a (long) list of browsers. A thumbnail gallery of screenshots will appear, all of which can be enlarged. This is far quicker than launching each browser individually. Moreover, every browser available can be checked!</p>
<p>This site is a must for those of us using CSS to control layout.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This post will show you how to link a html form with a php script for sending email through a web site. This php script only works on a Microsoft server. </strong></p>
<p>I am using a unix server platform<a href="http://somewhere.com"> show me the linux version instead</a></p>
<p><strong>The HTML FORM:</strong><br />
We want to allow the user to input 4 things: <strong>Name</strong>, <strong>Email Address</strong>, <strong>Subject</strong> and a <strong>Message</strong>. (N.B. We will actually need 5 input elements because a &#8216;submit&#8217; button is required to send the form data). The form should look something like this (HTML code follows):<br />
<a href="http://aledrees.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/form-example1.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-76" src="http://aledrees.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/form-example1.png?w=200&#038;h=200" alt="\&quot;a quick guide to making a php email form\&quot;" width="200" height="200" /></a><br />
<pre class="brush: xml;">
&lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;sendform.php&quot;&gt;
Name:
&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;userName&quot; /&gt;
&lt; /br&gt;Email Address:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;userEmail&quot; /&gt;
&lt; /br&gt;Subject:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;userSubject&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/br&gt;type your message:&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;textarea name=&quot;userMessage&quot; cols=&quot;20&quot; rows=&quot;4&quot; /&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
&lt; /br&gt;
&lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; onclick=&quot;validatethis()&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
</pre> <br />
Notice that we have given each <strong>input element</strong> a <strong>&#8216;name&#8217; property</strong>. This allows the php script to identify the relevant data that it needs to send from the server. The &#8216;names&#8217; in the html will also appear in the php script as named <strong>variables</strong> (information containers).</p>
<p><strong>THE PHP SCRIPT:</strong></p>
<p>Open a new notepad document and save it as <strong>&#8216;sendform.php&#8217;</strong>. The name of the php script is named in line 2 of the html code above. The filename is case sensitive!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at the part of the php script that makes the email happen:<br />
<pre class="brush: php;">
send email
$name = $_REQUEST['userName'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['userEmail'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST['userSubject'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['userMessage'] ;
$body = $name . $message;
ini_set(&quot;sendmail_from&quot;, &quot; youremailaddress@yourserveraddress.com&quot;);
mail(&quot;youremailaddress@yourserveraddress.com&quot;, $subject, $body, &quot;From: $email&quot; );
header( &quot;Location:http://www.yourdomain.com/YourThankYouPageAddress.htm&quot; );
</pre><br />
DON&#8217;T PANIC &#8211; It&#8217; not that complicated:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:#ff6600;">Line 3-6:</span> The php is requesting the information the user has inputted. Notice that <strong>&#8216;userName, userEmail, userSubject and userMessage</strong> are the &#8216;names&#8217; given to each input element in the html. Notice, also that the php ascribes this information to the <strong>variables $name, $email $subject and $message.</strong></li>
<li><span style="color:#ff6600;">Line 7:</span> Tells the server what to put in the emails body. When the email is opened the main area will contain the senders&#8217; name and message.</li>
<li><span style="color:#ff6600;">Line 8:</span> Makes php work on a Microsoft Server.</li>
<li><span style="color:#ff6600;">Line 9:</span> Tells the server how to structure the email. When the email arrives in your server&#8217;s inbox it will display the subject in the &#8216;subject field&#8217; and the email address in the &#8216;from field&#8217;. When you open the email it will display the body (line 7).</li>
<li><span style="color:#ff6600;">Line 10:</span> Redirects the user to a thankyou page after the form has been sent.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, you have to change all the domains and file paths in the example script to match where you store your own files on your server. </p>
<p>The Entire php Script:<br />
<pre class="brush: php;">
?php
function spamcheck($field)
  {
//eregi() performs a case insensitive regular expression match
  if(eregi(&quot;to:&quot;,$field) || eregi(&quot;cc:&quot;,$field)) 
    {
    return TRUE;
    }
  else
    {
    return FALSE;
    }
  }//if &quot;email&quot; is filled out, send email
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
  {
  //check if the email address is invalid
  $mailcheck = spamcheck($_REQUEST['email']);
  if ($mailcheck==TRUE)
    {
    header( &quot;Location:http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/APageAskingTheUserNotToSpam.htm&quot; );
    }
  else
    { 
    //send email
	$name = $_REQUEST['userName'] ; 
	$email = $_REQUEST['userEmail'] ; 
	$subject = $_REQUEST['userSubject'] ; 
	$message = $_REQUEST['userMessage'] ; 
	$body = $name . $message;
             ini_set(&quot;sendmail_from&quot;, &quot; youremailaddress@yourserveraddress.com&quot;);
             mail(&quot;youremailaddress@yourserveraddress.com&quot;, $subject, $body, &quot;From: $email&quot; );
             header( &quot;Location:http://www.yourdomain.com/YourThankYouPageAddress.htm&quot; );
        }
  }
else
//if &quot;email&quot; is not filled out, display the form
  {
  echo &quot;&lt;form method='post' action='mailform.php'&gt;
  Email: &lt;input name='email' type='text' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  Subject: &lt;input name='subject' type='text' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  Message:&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'&gt;
  &lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;input type='submit' /&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;&quot;;
  }
?&gt;
