Hey guys is there a way I could have a submit button send all the info to an email address without using php??? Im using dreamweaver8. im trying to create a poll/survey but this php coding thing aint working for me! im not comprehending it at all :confused: totally clueless!! so i was hoping that if someone chooses an answer from a scroll menu and hits submit it can be sent to my email....is this farfetched? wells alls i can do is hope that someone will say this is possible!!! ( :eek: i hope...i hope...i hope)

You could check with your hosting vendor to see if they already have any scripts available to use. A "formmail" script is a very common thing, it's quite likely they support one.

I dont need a form script, i threw this together for an example. sample (http://www.greatestassever.com) I would like to be able to do 1 of the 2 without php coding. I would like a person to hit submit vote and the info be sent to my email. I am hoping this is possible!

Lisa I dont believe your giving Tracknuts suggestion a try here...

You need to have some sort of program/script/coding that supports the action of the form you have created.

What he was saying is that most hosts have this type of support setup for you already all you need to do is ask how to access it. It's Generic name is FORMMAIL, from a script created by someone nearly 10 years ago. Thats amazingly gone though minor changes, mainly security patches in that time.

If your host has no idea or whatever here is the website you need. http://www.formmail.com/

If your still not sure, I'll tell ya right now there is no other reasonable way to get this done. If your not willing to consider PHP or a PERL script.

Lisa,
In your HTML form you can set the attribute to GET instead of POST and specify the name d pair be sent to the email address you want. This however sends the pair through http and shows up in the url box which means it is available to the public.

I'm familiar with PHP and done the mail thingy so I can help you with the code. Send me a pm and we can talk.

You can specify the form action as an e-mail address; however, that causes it to be sent from the users default mail client (usually outlook express) and many users aren't comfortable with/able to have it go out that way, and they cancel the mail before it gets sent.
