How to add form to mail option to a website?

[method]

Hi every body. I want to add a form to my website that allow users to fill some registration information and once they finish it they be able to submit it to me via email . I wonder what scripting languages does my website need to support in order to accomplish this task. Can i do this with out any scripting languages ?I want to do this for a business so i want it to be professional. I be happy to get some feed back from experts about options that i can have. Thanks

PHP:

(or if you want, you could do it with a form action set to 'mailto:email')

mailto:email only works in older browsers where the person has a separate email client. Newer browsers don't accept that version.

It can be done with any server side scripting language - perl, php, asp, .net, jsp, coldfusion etc. whatever you are comfortable with and is supported by the web hosting. If you don't want to write your own then there are plenty out there that others have already written.

Alternatively you can use a third party form to mail script eg the one available from bravenet.

hello, I think what he means by third party form to mail script is a remotely hosted form to mail script. I.e. it's not hosted on your site it's hosted on someone else's, But it sends the form infomation to you. It's for people who have a web host that don't support server side scripting languages. If your host support's server side scripting languages try looking here (http://hotscripts.com/) and here (http://www.needscripts.com). If it doesn't support server side scripting then use http://www.bravenet.com/ hope that helps
