Contact form

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any sample contact forms in CI that email the data to a specified address?

Thank you.

Did you look at the user guide?
These two pages should point you into the right direction:

@pistolPete Hey, yes I did a sample form just asking for name and email, but it gave some errors;

An Error Was Encountered
Unable to send email using PHP mail(). Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

Your server is either not configured to send mail, or may require sending mail with a different configuration, like SMTP. You should contact your host for email requirements. A lot of hosts require SMTP, which sometimes means you need an existing email account, and that you use its username and password to verify that your email isn't spam.

At the moment i'm just testing locally using MAMP on MacOSX. Even tried just setting the smtp to localhost.

WAMP, MAMP, XAMP, LAMP; none come with an email MTA that I know of. Just pretend it worked...

Maybe a bit late, but in order to use sentmail on MacOS X, you have to enable it. There used to be a freeware App. but it seems to have disapeared.
There is a shareware app on http://www.cutedgesystems.com that does the job. A license is $25,- But you can setup a complete email server with it.
