emailing html form

[thabrane]

I would like to email the input from a form on the internet to a particular person. I have tried using the action:"post" "mailto:xxx@xxx.com" commands. This opens an email client and allows a link to a document to be mailed to the person.

This is not what I want. I want the information to be entailed in the email, not an attached document. I would also like the email to be sent automatically.

Anyone have any idea how I could do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

You'll need to use a server-side script language like PHP, ASP, or PERL. If your hosting company or server supports one or more of these, try posting your request on one of those forums.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Check the FAQ in the ASP forum to find the how-to you could also access

and search for CDONTS and you'll find a tutorial there....

There is a php program there, i think it's called ProcessForm, that can email the contents of a form. It also has many other features, including sending the form contents to a database or flatfile, validating fields, and much, much, more. I don't remember the cost of program but it's worth it.
