Web page HTML writing

[lilrodie]

Ok this may seem like a n00b question, but I'm learning... Anyway... I want to make a form that you can submit and it will send everything that you fill in to an email address... So far I cannot quite figure it out. Can anyone help me with this, or at least point me in the right direction?


EDIT: figured out a code for the e-mail thing.... is there anyway to make the automatic e-mail thing anonymous?

[fashizzlepop]

How do you mean anonymous? Like it doesnt show the IP it was sent from?

[lilrodie]

no like, the code i use, opens up for a (for example) Microsoft Mail program that just fill in the e-mail for you.... is there anyway to just send a e-mail instead of having to go through a e-mail program? If not, ok. But I'm just making sure

Do you mean that you press submit and it automatically sends the information to you. Then you can't do it in HTML, you need PHP and a server that supports the mail(); function.
Its look like this.

Code: Select all

<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Good site, but you might as well pay for hosting and a domain. Worth it in the long run.
