Information on FORMS for Feedback or Contact Pages

@96turnerriDec 06.2004 — #For any form action you need a server side technology, the most common is a form mailer, this takes the results of a form and mails it to the address specified.

Not all servers/hosting support server side technologys, but there are many free form mailers available on the net for you to use.

I recommend using this script if you server does not support a server side technology (Coded by me)

[code=php]
 //Dont forget to replace the email and thankyou page to your own
 <form action="http://php.richardturner.com/mailer.php" method="post">
 <p>
 <input type="hidden" name="form_email" value="YOUR_EMAIL@DOMAIN" /><br />
 <input type="hidden" name="form_thankyou" value="http://www.YOURSITE.com/THANKYOUPAGE.HTML" /><br />
 Your Form Here<br />
 <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
 </p>
 </form>
 [/code]

or if you server supports ASP

//Coming Soon EDIT: See Below Post By Dave//

@David_HarrisonDec 06.2004 — #Well as Rich said, ASP solution coming soon so here it is. I've made an example form in HTML Strict 4.01 and there's also the script itself in a separate .asp file.

It's pretty simple to use, the form submits to the ASP file which processes the info and then redirects the user to another page. All you have to do is open up the ASP file in notepad and fill in values for 3 variables:

SMTPserver	= "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"		' Specify a valid SMTP mail server.
 redir		= "http://www.w3.org/"		' Specify a page to redirect the user to once they have submitted the form.
 recipient	= "[email protected]"		' Specify who to send the email to.
