Ok, I've been pulling my hair out on this for the last few weeks and it's time I break down and ask for a little help to set me in the right direction.

I've been trying to create a form that will send a little information that the sender puts in (name, email, etc...) which goes to my email along with the option to upload a photo to a folder created in my directory. Is this possible?

I have a good bit of knowledge in html, some in javascript and css. As for php, cgi and so forth I am a newbie. :) But oh so willing to learn!

Is there anyone who can help me with the best way to do this?

Hi, Nickey. I'm sorry I don't have much time to give you some helpful info, but I just thought it might be a good idea to tell you to have a look at what your host can do (by that I mean if it supports PHP, ASP, CGI and so on). Our regulars will be much more inclined to give you helpful information if they know what they should be talking about (for example I know nothing about ASP and so would be hopeless at advising on what to do).

Just ask your providers what server side languages are available to you and someone may be able to offer some advice. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, but good luck for now.

Thanks for the words of advice... I know my host offers php and I believe that is the route I need to go. I now just have to learn a little more about php and how to use it. Unfortunatly my hosts help center doesn't give a very in depth explanation of what it is or how to use it... ya just know it's there. LOL :D

I'm sure I just need to take a break and quit pulling my hair over it.... which is probably the cause of this horrible headache! LOL

Thanks again,

Nicole
