Form Help

[zeta_acosta]

Hi all, hope everyone is well!

Really need some help with a form. It's dead simple what I want to do but I cant find any good tutorials on the web.

All I want to do is create a form that sends the details in the form of a email.... dead easy (not for me! :mad:). It consists of the following fields: Name, Username, Password and Email.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Regards

M.

Easiest way is to set the action of the form to an email address, like so:

<form action = "mailto:address@isp.net" method = "post">

This method, however, has two drawbacks: it won't work if the user doesn't have an email client (if, for example, your site is being accessed from a public computer), and the output is quite ugly.

If you want something pretty that can be relied upon to always function, you're looking at server-side form processing. There are a variety of scripts available for this, depending on which server-side languages your server supports. I believe I've seen Hotscript's (http://www.hotscripts.com) URL bandied about rather frequently. A quick web search for "form processing scripts" will turn up many others, undoubtedly.
