Liferay中的HTML表单

I have made a simple HTML form in Liferay. When the form is submitted, its content should go to my email address and a line saying 'thank you' is to be displayed. I have done the action part with php. But after submitting, all I get is the 'thank you' part and the form doesn't get submitted to my email address.

Any idea why this doesn't work? I am not good with PHP at all. Only the basics.

Is there any other way to do this? e.g with javascript? though that might not be a good option.

I am using Liferay 6.1 and Tomcat 7.

HTML form:

<form name="form" method="post" action="form.php">
<table>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>
  <label for="first_name">First Name</label>
 </td>
 <td>
  <input  type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30">
 </td>
</tr>

<tr>
 <td>
  <label for="last_name">Last Name</label>
 </td>
 <td>
  <input  type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30">
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

PHP:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

    // Email where form is sent:
    $email_to = "myemail@mydomain.com";


Thank you!

<?php
}
die();
?>

Finally got the answer with JSP, which I haven't used since school days. Here is the code in case someone wanted to try it.

<%@ page import="sun.net.smtp.SmtpClient, java.io.*, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext,java.util.*" %>
<%
 String from= request.getParameter("from");
 String to= request.getParameter("to");

 try{
     SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.mysitedomain.com");
     client.from(from);
     client.to(to);
     PrintStream message = client.startMessage();
     message.println("From: " + from);
     message.println("To: " + to);
     message.println();
     Enumeration paramNames = request.getParameterNames();
     while(paramNames.hasMoreElements()) {
       String paramName = (String) paramNames.nextElement();
       String paramValue = request.getParameter(paramName);
       message.println(paramName + ":" + paramValue);
      }
     client.closeServer();
  }
  catch (IOException e){    
     System.out.println("ERROR IN DELIVERING THE FORM:"+e);
  }
 response.sendRedirect("thanks.htm");
%>

Likely not the full answer, but you have two opening PHP tags and only one closing tag in your php code

Liferay is able to use PHP Portlets, but you will have to do some configurating, maybe this link can help your case: http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/PHP+Portlets

I had a problem with php portlets in version 6.2 for $_POST params. The solution was to put the portlet prefix in the parameter this way

<input name="_SamplePHP_WAR_samplephpportlet_foo" type="text" />

that wil make $_POST['foo'] have a parameter
