Hey, first post. Thought I would point out this handy little resource to you all
You know all the sites that have "contact" pages with a few boxes that say to enter your email address, subject, and then you click the "submit" button to have the email sent to them? It's much easier to do it through email forms like that rather than copying/pasting the email address in your standard email client. The following site will allow you to easily create a form like that, in literally less than a minute. As long as your host allows you to upload PHP scripts, then you're good to go. The site below will walk you through the process, and will get your email form set up on your site in no time. It creates the PHP script for you, along with 2 pages that will either confirm that the email has been sent, or give an error message. Enjoy! Setting up the form is very easy...just follow what it says to do on this site (scroll down to where it says "Step 1 of 2" http://www.thesitewizard.com/wizards/feedbackform.shtml That site also lets you create Perl or CGI scripts, but if your webhost allows either of those languages then it should most certainly allow PHP also. |

Yeah, but this helps too. It's not REALLY a tutorial, but it tells you what to do if you want to do something.
Do you know PHP? If you do, it's really easy to make forms with it. Learn it and you can write even more customizable forms! |

Nah, I don't know PHP (which is why I found that site very useful I'm working on learning Javascript right now...it's not going so good though. I may take a class on it over the summer though, which would be fun and help me a lot. I do want to learn PHP sometime in the future though...html is just too ... boring, or simple, ya know. It's like a 3rd grader could figure it out in no time at all. |
