order Form

Lew · 10-14-2003, 10:45 AM

I am wanting to sell some of my stuff on my site. I made part of a order form but after it has been filled in and you click submit it just opens up Outlook express. How do i make it so that when they click ok they send me all the stuff filled in the order form.
Can anyone tell me how to do this or tell me of a tutoriasl that can help me.

To sell stuff online you need a secure server and a merchant account. or you can use a paypall account. what are the customers putting onto these order forms? if they are asked to put credit card info on there they simply wont!

For forms see: http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/html/forms.html

Hope that helps!

You need some type of form processing script. There's a lot of free premade scripts that will do it for you. If you have CGI/Perl access I would suggest using BNBFORM.CGI http://bignosebird.com/carchive/bnbform.shtml I've used this script before and it's really nice and easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Check with your hosting company. Most will provide free form mail scripts. PHP, CGI, ASP?

usually, it opens up an email program if you have e-mail as you form action. this is the easiest way on one hand, but that means form submission goes through the e-mail program and not like most sites do...
