Hi,

I've got a really simple form that I want to simply post back to itself and then mail me the result. I don't want to use the Ajax framework, or develop a plugin just for something so trivial.

My markup:

<form method="post">
<div class="contact">
    <div>
        <i>{{ errors.first('name') }}</i>
        <div>{{ form_text('name', null, {'placeholder': 'Name'}) }}</div>
    </div>
    <div>
        <i>{{ errors.first('email') }}</i>
        <div>{{ form_text('email', null, {'placeholder': 'Email'}) }}</div>
    </div>
    <div>
        <i>{{ errors.first('message') }}</i>
        <div>{{ form_textarea('message', null, {'placeholder': 'Message'}) }}</div>
    </div>
    <div><button>Send</button></div>
</div>
</form>

I was hoping I could simply do the following as part of the 'Code' tab, but I'm not having much luck, any ideas?:

function onStart()
{
    if (request()->isMethod('post')) {

        $validator = Validator::make(
            request()->all(),
            [
                'name' => 'required', 
                'email' => 'required|email',
                'message' => 'required'
            ]
        );  

        if ($validator->fails()) {
             return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator->messages())->withInput();   
        }

        $data = [
            'name' => request()->get('name'),
            'email' => request()->get('email'),
            'content' => request()->get('message')
        ];

        Mail::send('contact.email', $data, function($message) use ($data) {
           $message->from($data['email'], $data['name']);
           $message->to('email@gmail.com', 'My Email');
           $message->replyTo($data['email'], $data['name']);
        });

    }
}
