email form?

[static_-x-_]

On nearlly every website there is a contact us page that has a form like

name: __________________
email address: _____________________
subject: ________________________

message: ___________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________

submit (button)

how do i get something like this on my web page? I would like it to be in html or php if possible?
What is the correct name for this type of form, so i can search for it? Do you know of any free forms like this that are easy to setup and use?

any help will benefit. cheers!

cheers!

There's a pre built script available to download at the bottom of the article. All you need to do is edit the config file :)

i downloaded the three .php files and changes the 3 lines in the config.php file. But when i view the contact.php it doesnt show correct. unlike the example shown here http://forum.weborum.com/joe/contact/contact.php
If you look at the 2 different config.php files you can see that they are very different.

The only 3 things you need to edit in your config file are;

$ErrorDomain = "http://www.yourdomain.com/contact.php?error=1";
$to = "Your Name<you@your-domain.com>";
$subject = "Contact Form";

What problem are you getting?
