I’m new to modX. I have a form in which I want the data put into an email format and sent to the site owner. I had it all working outside of modx. How do i get it working in modx? Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction for some simple documentation?
The form code:
notice the action is: ?action=entertowin
<div id="content_text">
<span class="home_title">Enter to Win</span>
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION[’success’])) {
echo "<font color=\"red\"><b>". $_SESSION[’success’] . "</b></font>
";
unset($_SESSION[’success’]);
}
?>
