How to Use a GoDaddy Form Mailer (6 Steps)

Set the e-mail address for the GoDaddy form mailer within your account. Log into your Account Manager. Under “Products” and click “Web Hosting.” Click “Launch” beside the hosting account you wish to use for your form mailer.
Click “Form Mail” under the “Content” section. Enter the e-mail address where you want submitted forms to be sent under “Forms Email Address.” Click “Continue” and “Update” to verify the e-mail address.
In your HTML file where you want the form to appear, enter this code:<form action='/gdform.php' method='post'>
<input type='hidden' name='subject' value='New E-Mail Subscriber' />
<input type='hidden' name='redirect' value='http://www.yoursite.com/thanks.html" />
<p>First Name:<input type='text' name='FirstName' /></p>
<p>Last Name:<input type='text' name='LastName' /></p>
<p>E-Mail:<input type='text' name='email' /></p>
<p>Your Message:<textarea name='comments' cols='50' rows='20'>
Tell us what you think of our new website!</textarea></p>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'/>
</form>You can edit this code to suit your needs. The above items are examples, including the subject, redirection page, first name, last name, e-mail and message.
Save your HTML file with the new code.
Upload the HTML file to your server using your preferred FTP client, just as you did with your initial website files.
Visit your website to see the new form. Test the form by filling in all of the fields and using a different e-mail address than the one you entered in Step 2. Once you submit the form, you should receive an e-mail to the e-mail address you entered in Step 2 with the submitted information.

How to Create an HTML Input Box and Output to Another Page

Open the HTML source code page into which you desire to place the form containing a 'textarea' input box. In this example, you will be using 'sometext.html' as the HTML source page. The separate page with PHP code will be called 'displaysometext.php.' Both pages will be stored on the Web hosting server where your website is located.
Create the form section within the HTML source code, and tell the form that the data entered by the user will be submitted to the external PHP-enabled page. In the case of this example, the user data will be submitted to displaysometext.php. Enter the following line between the
and the
tags of the HTML page.Save the document to your computer as sometext.html and upload it to your Web hosting server.
Open a new page in your text editor and enter the following six lines of text.
Display Some Text PHP Script Page
?>
Save the page as displaysometext.php
Enter the following lines between the '
' lines that tells PHP to accept the text from the input box of the origination page. Remember that the name of the submit operation was 'comment.' When the user submits the form, that label will be submitted as the identifier for the text the user entered. The lines to accept this information should appear as follows.if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$usercomments = $_POST['comment'];'
Have your PHP script do something with the text the user entered. This can be something as simple as printing to the Web browser what the user entered on the original page. In this example, type the following three lines.echo 'The information you entered was as follows:';
echo $usercomments;
}
Save the 'displaysometext.php' page code to your computer, then upload it into the same directory of the Web hosting server that contains HTML page containing the input box.
Point your browser to the HTML page that accepts the user input. That page, in this example, would be 'sometext.html'. Enter some text into the input box, then click the 'Submit Comments' button below it. Note that the small PHP code snippet in the 'displaysometext.php' page processes and displays everything you entered on a new Web page.
