New Every Day is on a distinguished road
Default Form to Email Info

Howdy All,

I've only delved into Web Development a little bit. I generally use Dreamweaver (please no flames on that). I can create a form to gather information, but I'd like to then e-mail that form to a pre-determined address.

What kind of progamming language do I need to learn in order to do this? ASP? PHP?

Thanks!

Godspeed,
Ed

There are a ton of free form scripts available online that should do the trick for you.

As Jill says, nearly every web-based language out there has an in-built function to let you send emails. Here's a PHP example.

form.html

Code:
<form action="email.php" method="post">
<textarea rows="5" cols="40" name="msg">Text goes here</textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
email.php

Code:
<?php

mail("someone@example.com", "Email From the Form", $_POST['msg']);

?>Thanks for your email. Have a nice day.

You may also find the anti hack function of tamingthebeast helpful . I use it to stop the hackers from insering malicious code into the form .

FormMail is pretty good PHP script in a single file to do just that:
