Solve : Help posting forms to my email from my website!?

Answer»

Hi I need a bit of help, I have a questionnarie setup on my website, once all the questions are filled in and the user clicks proceed, (which is me at the MOMENT as im just testing it) a message box comes up warning about the form being sent by email, I use outlook so the form goes into outlook to be sent. Is there a way that I can get the form sent to my email with out sending it by email, like getting the web page to send it automatically?
Thanx in advance :-?Yes, absolutely, but this would require server-side processing. Does your web host SUPPORT PHP?I don't have an account that supports php but I guess I will have tomorrow once I sort it out. One it's sorted out, what CODE do I need to enter?

[emailprotected]" enctype="text/plain">
or
[emailprotected]" enctype="text/plain">Some hosts may not support PHP but will support Perl, it can also be done easily with Perl / ASP or other scripting languages. Some hosts may also have scripts on their server that will allow you to do this, so may also want to look into that.

Once it's setup you'll actually have a script on your server that handles the mail and on your web page you'll setup a forum that submits the data to that script. Something similar to the below example.
Code: [Select]<form method="GET" ACTION="<your script location here>">
<input type="text" NAME="name" size="10">
<input type="text" name="message" size="30">
</form>
