Need a contact form for my web site

Hello,

I need a contact form on my website, that will send to my email address what the visitor enter in the form fields. The problem is that I can't run any php scripts.. is there a way to use some html form?

Can you run cgi?

Check your control panel. Many hosts that don't allow php have a form mail program installed for shared use.

Your final option if all of those fail is to make an image with the text of a throwaway email address included on it. That protects you from most of the spambots.

Or, get a decent web host. Then you can run NMS FormMail.

Thank you for your suggestions! I found a site that offers remotely hosted contact forms, www.emailmeform.com . Basically, I paste the html code in my website, and it calls the php script on their server who sends the email.

I would suggest getting a web host that allows php or asp. They must be a crummy host if they don't have php installed on their server. do you really trust all your contact form data going through a third-party??? I don't think your users/customers would either...just a suggestion, remember there is a data protection law.

I haven't used a remote site like that before so I wouldn't know whether they are reliable or not.


Regards,
Kieran Taylor.

I would recommend using formmail. Try going to http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html and get an easy to use script from there

You can also do it the "old school" way and send a form using only HTML. Add mailto:youremailaddress" to the ACTION tag on the form.

Depending on security setting on the visitors browser, some will get a security popup window saying "your about to send info over the internet" and they will have to agree to it for it to send the email but it will send it as long as the visitor agrees to it.

It's ugly and would only use it as a last resort option but it works.

Hey guys cut the poster some slack. Maybe he/she doesn't have the few bucks a month for hosting. Or maybe they would rather pay their rent on time.
