Form processing scripts - HTML Forums

Hi, I'm marcxx

I would like to know how to process a form so that submitted forms are sent to my email. Somebody said that I should ask the system administrator for the web server hosting my site, but the domain name sellers don't seem to know.

I want to just paste code into my HTML so that it works. Previously considered methods have been:

<form method="post" action="mailto:youremailatemail.com"> is not recommended as "the user requires an email package to be installed and configured".

Using "form-mailer" CGI programs: You have to supply information including your website's FTP id and password. I don't know know to get these.

Any ideas how I can get round this?

What version of PHP do you have on the server? IF you are not sure, that is not a problem....
But, send me the email address that the form should submit to and let me know what information that the form should ask for and I will send you the form with instructions as to what you will need to do to make it work as well as some comments on the form so that you will be able to see what the code is doing.
I used to have a form on my web site that was in a zip file that you could download and change the email address and use, but apparently at some point, I have taken it down. But I can fix you another one without any problem.
