hi

how to send the form ?
i have

class TourPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
...

 function MyForm() {
      // Create fields
      $fields = new FieldSet(
         new TextField('FirstName', 'First name'),
         new EmailField('Email', 'Email addres')
      );

   function forTemplate() {
      return $this->renderWith(array(
         $this->class,
         'Form'
      ));
   }
 
      // Create actions
      $actions = new FieldSet(
         new FormAction('doMyForm', 'Send')
      );
      
      return new Form($this, 'MyForm', $fields, $actions);
   } 
   
      function doMyForm($data, $form) {
         $email = new Email_Template(
         $data['Email'],
         'my@gmail.com',
         'good work'
      );
      $email->ss_template = 'MyForm';
      $email->populateTemplate(array (
         'Name' => $data['FirstName'],
         'Email' => $data['Email'],
      ));
      $email->send();       
}


...

To make things easier on yourself you can just do $email->populateTemplate($data);

Then, all the keys of the $data array are available on your template. For instance, if you had a textfield with the name 'Name', you could call $Name on your template.

nothing

i think that this

$actions = new FieldSet(
new FormAction('doMyForm', 'Send')
);

doesn't work

i put the basic code in doMyForm function like this

function MyForm() {
echo "hello";
}

and nothing happends
i get the blank site

i tried with phpmailer
it works but only if i put the code outside form the class

class TourPage extends Page {
...
}

class TourPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
...
}

require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer(); 
...
