Forms

[innovative]

Hello all,

I am working on website for a client and on their contacts
page they want forms. A name, email address and a
questions/comments box. I am using Dreamweaver. I know
how to create the forms, what I don't know is how to
set it up so that after the user types in their info. and hits
the submit button that information should go to an email address
for the website owner to view. How can I get that connection
to work? I think it has to be done on the server end.
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance, Innovative

You can modify that tutorial to work for you. I don't know how familiar you are with coding by hand so if this goes over your head let me know and I'll post in more detail

Hi Jeanco,
I would appreciate some more detail. I think I have a
basic understanding of it but would like more detail.

Thanks..........

Hi There Innovative,

I have had this question pop up a few times lately so I decided to make a new thread in the CODE FORUM here at NamePros called PHP Form Script, Nice 'n' Easy!. I have made a small demo/tutorial on how to get set up and sending eMail with one small easy to edit php script here:

Hey, if all else fails, why not try using a remotely hosted script? Something like www.bravenet.com is easy to put to use with a flash document, or you could sign-up at www.form-mail.com and use their free forms. It'll just save you time. Good luck..

Thanks for the help One Eyed Dog. This looks pretty straight
forward. I'll be giving it a try. It's just what I was looking for.
