Here is another way to do a very simple contact form.

Free PHP form mailer script

Add an email form to your website within a minute with my PHP mailer script so that your customers can contact you by email quickly and easily. The script is fully customisable by editing a simple configuration file – even a chimp could do it!

Why have an email form on my website?

A huge amount of people use web based email services such as Hotmail and Yahoo. If they want to get in touch with you by email, instead of being able to simply click an email link (like users with email clients such as Outlook), they have to go to the email providers website – log in to their account – create a new email – copy your email address across and then finally send the email.

That is a bit of a long way round when you could have a simple form for them to fill in and send to you, so you should have an email form on your website to make it more user friendly for your visitors/potential custmers.

Mailer script features

The BELLonline mailer form is a simple script that has the following features:

  • Simple set up by editing config file
  • Allows for easy language changes using the config file
  • Friendly error messages for if the script is installed incorrectly
  • Users prompted to enter random validation code to avoid automated submissions (which are invariably spam)
  • Ideal for anyone with little or no knowledge of PHP, as there is no script editing involved

BELLonline PHP mailer

This is intended as a simple form for your website visitors to contact you.

Just open the config and change the input to 100% instead of 300px

$input_width = "300px";
	Width of form inputs. Must include unites, e.g px

And I also like to change the font to 80%

$title_css = "font-weight: bold; font-size: 120%;";
	To format the title text using css. Best left alone

Then you just add this code to your site

<?php include "BELLmailer.php"; ?>
Obviously change the email address to you or your customers.
$sendto_email = "changeme@example.com";
	Change this to your email address. Script will not work until you have edited this.

PHP mailer script demo

I have put a mailer script demo online so that you can test it out for yourself. It doesnt go to a real email address, so no one will get your message, but is basically working (possible error messages etc) and it will function exactly as the PHP mailer form would.

How to use a Telephone dialer

Remember: most mobile devices are also phones! So, why not create link-to-call actions? If you’re creating a business guide, or even for your own unique phonebook, most people will prefer to call a person instead of filling in a form on the device.

Fortunately, there are some URLs that will help us. The first de facto standard (copied from the Japanese i-Mode standards) is to use the tel:<phone number> scheme. This is called the i-Mode format:

<a href="tel:+1800229933">Call us free!</a>

Although the table below shows that it is not as well supported as tel:, the other way to originate a call is using the WTAI standard, via the wp public library and the mc (make call) function:

<a href="wtai://wp/mc;+1800229933">Call us free!</a>

You can also initiate an sms text message using this link.

<a href=”sms:123456789″ rel=”nofollow”>Click to Text: 123 456 789</a>

Call-to action compatibility table

The iPod Touch, a non-phone mobile device, doesn’t allow voice calls. Instead, it shows a prompt to add the phone number used in the tel: link to the phonebook.
