Well, the ultimate simplest way is to do a form with the submit action as a mailto - if the user has an email client properly configured, it will send off a mail when they click submit. You can make it attach the form entries as a text file. However, you will be excluding anyone who doesn't have an email account set up...
Probably the best way to do it would be set up perl or PHP on your server and use an existing script. What exactly are you wanting to do, just create a simple subscription mailing list ? |

I know PHP , but I can't help you with customizing this script , instead im
posting my PHP script that I wrote using a little PHP skills I learned. Actually
I have 2 books on PHP and MySQL , im a PHP Freak. I should know more later!
PHP Code: post.php
------------
.Name
.E-mail
.Comments
| Code: | <title>Your Title</title>
<body bgcolor="white">
<?php
$filename ="data.html";
$handle= fopen($filename,'a');
$string = "<hr>
<font color=\"blue\" font size=\"4\">
Name: <font color=\"red\" font size=\"3\">
$_POST[name] <br><br> <font color=\"blue\" font size=\"4\">
E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:$_POST[email]?subject=Your Subject &body=To: $_POST[name]\"><font color=\"skyblue\" font size=\"3\">$_POST[email]</a>
<br><br> <font color=\"blue\" font size=\"4\">
Comments: <font color=\"black\" font size=\"3\">
$_POST[comments] <br> <br><hr>\n <br><br>";
fputs($handle, $string);
fclose($handle);
echo "<font color=\"white\" font size=\"4\">Hey <font color=\"skyblue\">$_POST[name] <font color=\"black\" font size=\"4\">, thank you for contacting me , your profile was saved and it will be reviewed.";
?>
|
HTML Form: form.html
-------------
| Code: |
<form action="post.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail: <input type="email" name="email"><br>
<textarea maxlength=3 name="comments" maxlength="10" rows="5" cols="25" title="Type some information here"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"><input type="reset" value="Reset"></form>
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can change colors if you want , don't remove any \ between the = signs and " , this is very important or you will get an Error 200 , my book showed me this tip. Enjoy the script ! 8) |
