sending data from website to email address

[lllDrewlll]

Hello every one

I have a slightly strange question I would like to add a form to my website where customers can fill out information (I did this in a popup with out any problem) how ever I used the mailto tags so all that happens is the form is opened in outlook, what I would like is the email to be sent to 2-3 email addresses (one would do but 2-3 would be better) automatically when you click submit, is this possible and if so how?

Thanks very much for your time :)

Use a server-side script, your host usually provides a simple formmail script.

If only we had some sort of "sticky" thread that stayed at the top of this forum, one that offered Information on FORMS for Feedback or Contact Pages - we could even keep it updated. But I suppose no one would ever bother to read it.

I'm sorry if this is covered in previous sticky (I have ran one or 2 forums only small ones though and know how irritating it can be)

my problem is a little different as I don't have access to the server (a long story short our ecommerce website was developed 3 years ago before a I joined the company),it was developed out of house so although I have access to other servers I can't use the one the website is hosted on, can I still do this and if so how, if its covered in another sticky a link would be wonderful :)


thanks peoples

Have the form submit itself to some server that you do have access to.

Which language are you going to use?

Which language are you going to use?

I was hoping to do the whole thing in HTML, but from what people have said it doesn't look possible so I am open to advice or tutorials of how to do this :)

What ever you guys and girls think is best/easiest way/language is what I shall try
