Hello,
I need a contact form on my website, that will send to my email address what the visitor enter in the form fields. The problem is that I can't run any php scripts.. is there a way to use some html form?

Re: Need a contact form
If you set the action property of the HTML form to mailto:youremailaddress it will send the form contents as a string. Make sure you name each of the text fields etc to something sensible so you will recognise them. Its not great because all the info will be in one long string, but it does work.
Oh and i see your new caros why dont you introduce yourself in the welcome forum! Last edited by stupot; 24-06-2007 at 12:09. Reason: Add something |

Re: Need a contact form
try this, just remember to change the <CENTER>yourname@gmail.com to yours, and also the two index.html <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="mailto:yourname@gmail.com" ENCTYPE="text/plain"> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username"> : name <BR> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email"> : email <BR> comments <BR> <TEXTAREA NAME="COMMENTS" ROWS="10" WRAP="hard"> </TEXTAREA> <INPUT NAME="redirect" TYPE="hidden" VALUE="index.html"> <INPUT NAME="NEXT_URL" TYPE="hidden" VALUE="index.html"> <BR> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send"> <INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear"> </FORM> </CENTER> <!-- END OF FORM --> |

Re: Need a contact form
Be aware any non-serverside solution like those recommended will result in your email address being harvested by email bots. I.E. you'll get load more spam.
Alternatives are to use Javascript or a Flash form. These can be pretty complicated though. |

Thank you for your suggestions! I found a site that offers remotely hosted contact forms, Email Me Form™ - HTML Forms, Web Forms, PHP Forms . Basically, I paste the html code in my website, and it calls the php script on their server who sends the email.
