New Mariodesigns.co.uk layout

Hello everyone I am working on the new layout, and I got to say that the working is going fast.
All the new layout will be designed by hand draws and sketches:

The new layout will be wild and creative like myself, each designer has is own way to express himself and all their work reflect their own personalty, many web/graphic designers choose a clean and retro style I decide to go though a different path and show my own style, doing what I like the most!

If you are a Web designer go through your own style, do some research on the internet for unique Portfolios and get some inspiration:

Create an autosender for your php forms

Hello again, so this week I will make an auto-sender, what is an auto-sender? well the auto-sender that I will build is for php form, but can be applied in a big range of thing like to send periodic newsletters and others.
I will explain step-by-step but I recommend having the basics of PHP.

Let's start;

so lets build the form:

Name:





E-mail:




Comments:

This should look like tis form:

Name:


E-mail:


Comments:




so with the basic for created, now he will create a new php file where we will send the form to an e-mail and the auto-sender that will send an e-mail to the e-mail placed on the form.

so we start by open the php code:



and now we will create the variables for the e-mail form, to create a variable we wright: $variable_name, variables cannot have any spaces so we place an underscocre.

$to = "youremail@youremail.com";
$subject = "create an auto-sender";
$email = $_REQUEST['e-mail'];
$name= $_REQUEST['name'];
$mensage= $_REQUEST['comments'];
$headers = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $mensage, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{print "Thanks for contacting me, I will be in touch soon."; }
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your request,please try again, if the problem continue contant me on youremail@youremail.com"; }
?>

Now that we have created the email php script we will start to create the auto-sender, that is no more no less tham a secound php email script.

$responseSubject = "$name, your email have been recived";
$responseMessage = "Hello $name,\n\nThanks for submitting your email.
I will be in contact with you shortly to resolve your query.";
$responseFromName = "--your name--";
$responseFromEmail = "youremail@youremail.com";
mail($email, $responseSubject, $responseMessage,
"From: ".$responseFromName." <".$responseFromEmail.">");
?>

And its all, we have now a php email form with an auto-sender
