If you are just looking for a form processor that send you the info once filled out, that is easy.

@JickJul 21.2003 — #Try this. Insert this in between your <body> tags:

[CODE]<form method="post" name="feedback" action="feedback.php">
 Name:<br>
 <input type="text" class="text" name="Name" maxlength="50" width="30" size="20"><br>
 E-mail:<br>
 <input type="text" class="text" name="Email" maxlength="50" width="30" size="20"><br>
 Comments:<br>
 <textarea cols="30" rows="6" class="text" name="Comments"></textarea><br><br>
 <input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
 </form>[/CODE]

And make a new file called "feedback.php" and make sure its in the same dir as your form:

[code=php]<?PHP 
 
 $subject = "Feedback"; 
 $headers = "From: Form Mailer"; 
 $forward = 1; 
 $location = "yourfeedbackthankyoupage.html"; 
 $addresses = array("[email protected]"); 
 
 $date = date ("l, F jS, Y"); 
 $time = date ("h:i A"); 
 
 $msg = "This form was submitted on $date at $time.nn"; 
 
 foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { 
 $msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "n"; 
 } 
 
 foreach ($addresses as $email) { 
 mail($email, $subject, $msg, $headers); 
 } 
 if ($forward == 1) { 
 header ("Location:$location"); 
 } 
 else { 
 echo ("Thank you for submitting our form."); 
 } 
 
 ?>[/code]

Hope that helps you. ? [B](Credit for this script goes to Pyro!)[/B]
