Mr_Wanted · Joined: 22 Feb 2005 Posts: 11 Location: U.S.A.

Hi friends how are you all? I hope you all will be fine wherever you are.

Friends I need one help for Webpage, and I hope any one of you can help me.

The problem is I made one site for me in my site I made one Feed Back page there are 3 Input Fields and 1 Button.

1- Subject
2- Name
3- Text Box (for advice)
4- Submit Button

So what I need, I want when any person visit on my site and he/she write there Subject, Name and Advice. And when he click on [Submit Button] the information sends to my Hotmail or Yahoo E-mail ID, and my Home page will open in same window. And when I check my mail I will find his/her messing in my mail.

Some one told me this called SMTP I donâ€™t know is right or no, but please tell me how I can do this.

Thank you for you attention and help.
Bye with best regard.

There are a few ways to process the form - like PHP, CGI, ASP, etc. Or you can use the "old" way with the mailto: submit style as well.

Do you know what your hosting company supports?

HI Friend! Thank you for your help, but please tell me some thing.

You mean for this function I need my hosting company helps, I canâ€™t do this by my self; I have to tack permission for them, and they will now what I am receiving from other person?

But the problem I get free Hosting service and I donâ€™t think they have this option in free Hosting service, let me check this thing.

And do I need e-mail ID from them also?

And what it calls this function?

Thank you for you attention and help.
Bye with best regard.

Some free hosting sites support CGI scripts for email purposes. You can also check out services like BraveNet

HI Mr. Corey Bryant! Thank you ones again for your help,

I get two free hosting sites support CGI and PHP.

1- www.bravenet.com support PHP.
2- www.50megs.com Support CGI.

So I want to ask you, which one is good service PHP or CGI to receive feed back by e-mail, please advice me.
And I donâ€™t know any thing about PHP and CGI how to create and use them, so please if you have time to help please tell me how I can make one of these things, and from where I have to start?

Thank you ones again for your and help.
Bye with best regard.

Both are fine - check out Simple Form Script

Hi Mr. Wanted,

If you do not know CGI/PHP I suggest having the form hosted by third-party provider such as my service, www.whiz-mail.cc, for example. There are also many other such services on the net, they are listed at http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Remotely_Hosted/Form_Processing/

How it works: you either upload or import your form to the service and configure the settings there. The service will then send you the results via E-Mail or however you configure it to (and based on the features the service supports, of course)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Raphael Pirker

Sorry I really do not know that much PHP - it looks ok from what I can tell. We mainly handle ASP coding & I let my programmers take over any of the other PHP / ASP jobs
