Sending Form data to emails

I need some help: how can I have the data people enter in a
form (say on my ''Contact'' page) to send me the information?



Anyway, I am generally confused on where the information is
sent. I create good websites, but am not a so-called 'tech genius'
and do not know a bunch of terminology, especially on this topic. I
think forums are very cool and would love to learn how to utilize
them to their best abilities!



Thanks!~

TextSending Form data to emails
The form data goes to whatever you setup.



the normal process is you put a server side script in your
site, such as

phpformmail or similar scripts. The script processes the form
data and sends

it as an email to the desired email address. Or with
different scripting it

can be put into text files or inserted into a database.



What type of server side scripting can you use on this
hosting?

If you can use php, my suggestion is to use the free
phpformmail script.

It's actively updated and current.

read the files in the docs folder on how to set it up



I've made posts in the past on the quick way to set it up-
this google

search should turn up a few of them

If you need a different flavor than php, reply with the
scripting type

needed.

For PHP look at:

Secure PHP Form Mailer Script Updated Mar 25th 2007

Also has Captcha if you want it



Boaddrink, as often suggested:

PHPFormMail 1.07.2 last updated Dec 2005

There does not appear to be later version.

I use an application called formstogo from bebosoft.com. It
will do everything you need and more.

What language are you using? If it's asp and VBscript, I can
paste code here for you to learn from.
