Solve : Sorry to be a bother...?

Answer»

Hi, im new to the board and was WONDERING if any of you would be able to help, anything would be great!

I have a website where i am selling personalised gifts and the customer has many options to choose from when they are buying my products, such as: What colour, font, paper etc. So what i am trying to do is create a form (I THINK) that will allow customers to select the colours they want etc and have this infomation be sent to my email via my website, just like an order form.

However, i don't have a server or anything like that, and wouldn't even know where to begin with something like that. This is just a little business and I was wondering if there is any HTML CODE or such that I can learn that will help me ACHIEVE my goal!

Thanks for your time,
SarahNo html code will do that. You would want to use PHP's mail function for that.

If you don't want to get into php, you could use a javascript to send email through the client's default email program. This would be a slightly involved piece of code for what you're wanting to do though.
Hi sarah. are you sure you don't have a server who might support the program you want to have running on your page? I wonder where you keep your website. As long as you have webspace on a server who can support these MINI programs we like to add to our pages, the code is very simple to add an auto-emailed form to your website. I could copy and paste it to you.
If you site is on webspace that does not provide you with any
services I advise you to go to someone else. It may cost you around $100.00 yearly, but this is your business right? : ) spend a little make a little. a good webservice provider is worth the cost.
