Hi,

I'd like to put a fill-in form on my site.
Could someone show me a good tutorial or example which i can use so I can dig in this subject and make me a good form where the answers will arrive in my mailbox orso ?
Dunno exactly how this work, that's why I hope some of you might know.

Thanks in advance

If you search on google, you can find many things...

http://www.microcyb.com/?m=c&c=43

or you can go to hotscripts.com and look through their many tutorials of php. Here is a direct link to their form processing page in PHP.

Good luck!

Well I was hoping that I could just use this example form. Adjust it and make some changes that it saves the filled in data on my site or sents to my mail.
Or is that too simplistic ? Because now when I click the submit button, nothing happens.

here's the form :


<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<script language="JavaScript" fptype="dynamicanimation">
<!--
function dynAnimation() {}
function clickSwapImg() {}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="animate.js">
</script>
</head>

<body onload="dynAnimation()">

You can easily set it up to put the information in a database or be sent to your e-mail. The basic part of sending it to your e-mail is the mail() function, here is a link to some information on that.

http://www.thescripts.com/serversidescripting/php/tutorials/parsingformswithphpandsendinge-mail/page0.html

That page is pretty straightforward on php's mail() function.

Thanks, Sk8er9547

Looks good to me. I only need to dig in a lil bit more. Just viewed it quickly.
