Hello All,

I have this order form, and I want to know how I can get the data that is input to be sent to my email address so that I recieve the order in my inbox.

Thanks for any help!

to email the contents of a form like this, you would need to use a server side script like ASP or PHP.

Then you can just email the information direct to any account you want.

I'll put this thread in the Server Side Forum for you.

If you use php, I know a really good script for sending form data.

Look at www.alphibia.com and go to 'php' for the script :)

I had a look at the link you gave me, and I posted a topic. I have had some help but no one seems to be able to help me there. Any other ideas?

Thanks

do you know PHP at all?
I'm just asking because would like to know at what level I need to write for.

I mean, if you haven't used PHP before, it's no use me going "just post the form to a PHP script, which puts the information together into an email".

[loftty]

No I have not used php before.

Thanks

hmm... okay.

first question - does your server support PHP, otherwise this will be a wasted discussion.

Hi,

Do I need to host the site before the php will work? as I have not hosted it yet.

Thanks

it will need to be on a host with PHP for it to work - you can install PHP on your own computer for testing.
