Cool idea. Still trying to get it to work on my site http://www.sethwilliampage.com/contact.php
Keep getting an error saying the info’s not all filled out. I can see that the yellow highlighted fields in the demo are not showing up in mine. Not sure what happened, if it’s a path conflict or what. Anyone else have any idea?
Hello! Your Web2SMS form is amazing! I’m not a php expert by far, yet I was so influenced by your web2sms form, that I started tinkering with the code and I came up with a form that sends the visitors info (mobile number + carrier – once they’ve inputed text) from a web page and transmits the data to my email… yet I’ve got it working so that if I hit REPLY on the email received…the “TO” line actually shows the visitors email adress as “10-DigitMobileNumber@CarrierEmailAdress.com” …Yep! Now, I have this other form that Sends a ‘canned’ message (“Thanks for Subscribing to My Mobile SMS Updates…etc.” ala ‘type=”hidden” code in html) to a visitors mobile phone, once the visitor inputs their mobile number + chooses their carrier (I was so influenced by your web2sms). Ok… here’s the thing (if I’m making any sense)… I want to make the two forms work together… for example: Visitor inputs their Mobile number (plus email?), then chooses their carrier…then clicks SEND… Visitor gets my canned msg on his/her mobile device, yet I’d also receive (simultaneously) their info (mobile number + carrier) in my email portal. So, basically, I want to create a mobile sms subscriber updates sign-up thingy and when visitors signUp on the Site, the confirmation/thank you msg is Sent to their device while I get their subscriber info in my email…All done up in one neatly packaged form
This part of php is So beyond Me! Any ideas? -Keith.
This is a great way to get a contact form. I think your next video should be settings up wamp server to allowing yourself to use your computer to accomplish this task without having to buy a hosting site and you can just host this from your home. Great videos and very thankful I found this site. Keep up the good work.
