Can anyone help ?

Thanks

[kandil]

The provider told me that i can use send.php File , but I don't know How?

I'm thinking this might be a PHP question rather than a XML question. Would you like me to move this thread to the PHP forum?

This isn't really a form, by the way... it's just a snippet of (not-well-formed) XML markup. Where's the rest of the XML?

[kandil]

Yes please , and thanks for your reply

[kandil]

This is all code of the XML file , When I press submit nothing goes to my inbox

Wait... you're loading this page directly into the browser? If so, tell me how the browser's supposed to know that contact_send is a form submission, and contact_fill1 is not... and for that matter, where it's sending the form to, what HTTP mime-type it's sending it as (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or application/multipart-form-data), what fields it's actually sending, etc.

Then tell the computer. Keep in mind XML is a language format where the tag names have no meaning whatsoever. The computer needs something to indicate what it's supposed to do. It literally doesn't know it's supposed to do anything with that data.

This might've been what your friend meant by send.php: that might be a script to take your XML input and transform it into (X)HTML which has all this niceness in it. I have no way of knowing, since I can't see send.php.

If you're having this XML markup load directly into the browser, without something to transform it (or even style it), then something is missing. Or is this XML being loaded another way which we can't see yet?

I hope to visit this Template at my site www.arabic-calligraphy.com

ًWhen I press Submit , it sends nothing

[kandil]

I am still waiting your next reply

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Someone else may have to step in.
