Hi there - I'm quite new to web pages etc. so bear with me.

I've built a basic website and I just want to have a "feedback form". I've designed the form in Dreamweaver, but I don't know what I need to do now to get it to return the information to me at my Email address.

I have full CGI/PERL/C/PHP4 scripting support with my webspace but I've never used ANY of them !! What do I need to do next ?

Any help/advice appreciated - apologies in advance if it's a no-brainer !!

well there are a few ways to do it. you need to have the form results processed to and emailed to you. so you can use a few scripts to do it. I like ASPemail www.aspemail.com/ or Formmail www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html

You need to set your form entries to match up to the script. read the tutorials at the aspemail site and you'll get it, any specific questions, just post em here.

1: make sure all information to do with the form is inside the "invisible" form outline. Next switch to your html, and all your html for the form should be outlined in black. At the top of the Form html you will see a tag that says form method: POST action" ". Inside the inverted commas after action, type the following: mailto: followed by your e-mail address. after the inverted commas, type this enctype=text/plain. here is an example from a sit i am currently working on:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="mailto: "enctype=text/plain> any more help from my limited knowledge, e-mail me

Thanks for the help and advice - I managed to do it with the help of a "webby" friend (no, not Spiderman !) who provided me with a bit of PHP code to do it.

Cheers anyway <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
