Hi, I have a guest feedback form at http://www.walkingenglishman.com/guestbookfeedback.htm which works very well but although I ask for peope to add their address (town/ city/ country) in the mail message they often miss doing so. How can I ad another field to the form so there is:

Your Name:
Your Address:
Your Email:
Mail Message:

Any help much appreciated.

What guestbook script are you using? You have a lot of unparsed PHP code in that form. That code should be in a php file, not an htm file.

Bear with me please as it was built for me by a third party. The page script is as follows:

0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i

and the form script is:

<?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
?>

Your Name:

Your Email:

Mail Message (Please add your town/city and country):

Welcome to TWF, W.E.

You need to enclose code in the <code> tags, the third icon from the right in the toolbar.

<form method="post" action="guestbookthankyou.php">

<!-- DO NOT change ANY of the php sections -->
<?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
?>

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpagent" value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" />


<strong>Your Name:</strong> <br />
<input type="text" name="visitor" size="35" />
<br /><br />
<strong>Your Email:</strong><br />
<input type="text" name="visitormail" size="35" />
<br /> <br />
<strong>Mail Message <em>(Please add your town/city and country)</em>:</strong><br />
<textarea name="notes" rows="10" cols="100"></textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Send Mail" />
<br />
</form>

To add a field, follow the examples and give it a unique name

I would suggest something like this (I am using a textarea instead of a single line input):

<strong>Your Address:</strong><br />
<textarea name="visitoraddress" cols="100" rows="5" /></textarea>
<br /> <br />

Then check guestbookthankyou.php - you may need to add the new name to that script as $_POST['visitoraddress'] or $_REQUEST['visitoraddress'] (if you see the other field names set up like this, just follow the example)

some scripts will automatically grab all the $_POST values

if you can show us guestbookthankyou.php we can help you better

Sorry, being away, here is the guestbookthankyou.php you requested:

<?php
$ip = $_POST['ip']; 
$httpref = $_POST['httpref']; 
$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent']; 
$visitor = $_POST['visitor']; 
$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail'];
$notes = $_POST['notes'];
$attn = $_POST['attn'];


if (eregi('http:', $notes)) {
die ("Do NOT try that! ! ");
}
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,"."))) 
{
echo "<h2>Use Back - Enter valid e-mail</h2>\n"; 
$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
echo $badinput;
die ("Go back! ! ");
}

if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes )) {
echo "<h2>Use Back - fill in all fields</h2>\n";
die ("Use back! ! "); 
}

$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;

$attn = $attn ; 
$subject = $attn; 

$notes = stripcslashes($notes); 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n
Attention: $attn \n
Message: $notes \n 
From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
Additional Info : IP = $ip \n
Browser Info: $httpagent \n
Referral : $httpref \n
";

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";


mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);
?>

Date:
<?php echo $todayis ?>

Thank You :

<?php
 echo $visitor 
?>

(

<?php
 echo $visitormail 
?>

)

Attention:

<?php
 echo $attn 
?>

Message:

<?php
 $notesout = str_replace("\r", "<br/>", $notes); 
echo $notesout; 
?>

<?php
 echo $ip 
?>
