How to use Forms in webdesign?

29.September, 2009

I made this form that people will fill out. I tried using a site to help me make the form email me the information after the person fills it out but it didn’t work. Any ideas on how to get the information emailed to me?

Denise,
That takes me to an email application so I can email the info… i want it to email it automatically. Does that make sense?

Put this line of code in:

<form action=
"mailto:YOUREMAILHERE
?subject=form submission"
method="post"
enctype="text/plain">

(Take out the line breaks so it is all one sentence.)

    It appears that you are calling a script on the form:

    <form METHOD=POST ACTION="cgi-bin/formmail.pl">

    The only attribute that you may want to add is " enctype= "

    Check to make sure that the formmail.pl script actually exists and that the path to it is correct in your web hosting documentation. If that is a script that you supplied, check that it is executable.

    At a UNIX/Linux command prompt:

    chmod 755 filename

    or many FTP programs will let you do this too.

    Good luck!

    If your server supports PHP, I highly recommend Jem’s free PHP Mail Form:

    http://www.jemjabella.co.uk/scripts/free-php-mail-form

    It catches spam and inappropriate content upon submission.
