Submitting form to e-mail

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 11.2004

Help kindly!
I made my own site with a form writing this code:
<FORM dir=”rtl” name=”EXPLAINREQ” method=”post” action=”mailto:[email protected]” target=”_blank” onSubmit=”if(Verifycomp())EXPLAINREQ.submit(); else return false;”>

When someone may submit the form it is expected to go to my e-mail box, but the browser need what is known as: “UniversalSendMail” privilege. So what have I to add to my code for the browser to complete submitting the form to my e-mail box?

@KorFeb 11.2004 — [b]mailto[/b] will always open the users local installed mail, if he has one. It is not a valid submit action.

The sumbit action requires a CGI, a server-side aplication (php, asp, java, jsp, pearl, C++ and so on) which will get the data, will procees them or store or send them to a mail or whichever is its aim).

To receive a form data on a mail addres you deffinetely need such a server-side application installed somewhere on a server

something like:

action="/folder/mailapp.php"

or

action="/folder/mailapp.asp"

or such kinda stuff


... Ask the webmaster if he has such kind of application, or search this kinda on PHP forum (it is a common server-side language)
