i'm trying to format a little code i found on hot scripts and have run into a problem trying to replace the submit button with a text link that will do the same thing. here's the code.
okay i got the script working and everything looks good but i'm back to the button thing. i'm sorry to be beating a dead horse here but this is the code i'm working with now. i need to mention that the original code i submitted was an error on my part, sorry.
There has to be more code to it surely ?
Otherwise refreshing the screen is all it will do !
Is there no more php and/or javascript near the start of the page ?

First and foremost, you need to validate your html. You have four <html> tags, three </html> tags, mismatched <p>, <span>, and <center> tags, and a number of other simple problems that need to be fixed.
With regards to your submit link, it will do the same thing a submit button will do, but you must make sure in your PHP code you are not referencing $_POST['submit'] anymore, as that form control is no longer there. Without seeing your PHP code (you may want to post it), that's what I suspect is happening.
Well I can look at the page you link to but it will not display any php if I view the source.
Your form action is set to the same page that the form is on. Which is only any good if the page has some php on it, Which it must have because it seems to work. I submit an email and it says it has been submitted. What is it that is not working ?
Post the entire code of the page up here (enclose it in php quotes to make it easy to see what is going on, see just below the attachnents drop down in the reply window)
And lets also have a look at the config page (change any sensitive areas such as passwords or database connection details before posting)

call it an ocd thing but i really don't like buttons, in fact i hate them. when i first saw this app on hot scripts and started to play around with it i really liked it because i could make it look just like my site, which if you can tell from my coding skills is more important to me than say, function.
that said all i would like to do is replace the button that says submit on the page with a text link. trust me crowds, the only script on the file "form.inc" is what i have posted. all the other script is scatered throughout the folder that the app is contained in on the site/server.
if you like i can make a zip file link on my site with the entire app that you can download.
and, sorry for all the trouble. i really appreciate all the attention all of you have given my little problem
file name: index.php

header.inc and footer.inc are brought into your index.php. Based on what's in those two files could directly relate to your problem.
PHP code can't be read just by going to that url; the PHP interpreter, well, interprets the code and produces output to the browser. There's no way to see the code that produced the output without the source file.

I can't see anywhere that $_POST['submit'] is being referred to explicitly apart from that loop that adds all the $_POST variables to $fmail, which shouldn't be a problem if there's no $_POST['submit'].
In any event, you can always add a hidden input field to your form and name it submit with a value of submit; that should adequately simulate the submit button.
