Those sound like messages coming from your browser and/or e-mail client software on a PC. Click "Help" in your browser menu and read about it.

that's not what i meant, how do i direct people, if using form to send me the details but not by email.

If not by e-mail, then in what way do you want to receive the details?

Easymail is a very easy to install and use php script that will process form results for you.

It's available free from hotscripts.

Just follow the simple instructions included in the readme file, upload in ascii mode to your server and call the script in your browser to test. Customize the form layout to your needs and put it in your html.


Just as simple as that.





I almost forgot, add the following line at the top of the sendmail.php

#!/usr/local/bin/php

Nick. many thank what does #! mean at the start of your line.

That just tells the browser that the information on that line should not be displayed when the page is loaded. It is the same as a comment tag in your html:

<!--Comment here-browser don't show this text to my user-blah, blah, blah-->

Nick: many thanks, im new at this game, i have downloaded from that site you said, loads of cool things there. andy

Well, there you go. Have a ball. Should keep you off the streets for a while, eh? ;)

Hey, I tried using that form and it worked on my machine locally but not at the site (got an error?) Is there something I need to enable PHP support?
