mailing a form

[someguy78]

if I wanted to have it so that the user inputs a bunch of information, clicks a few check boxes, and presses submit to send the info in an email to a specified address, and I wanted the email send to be blind to the user, i.e. not sending it through his/her email client, would that require server side scripting? I know that you can use "mailto:" as the action parameter in a form, but I don't think that's a good idea...

I think this is what your looking for, I've used it and it works well!

I know that you can use "mailto:" as the action parameter in a form, but I don't think that's a good idea...Correct, the "mailto" action relies on your visitors mail client wich is a pretty impractical approach. You would be better off using a process that runs on your server (Server Side Scripting). Which one you use (PHP, ASP, ASP.net, CGI-Perl, JSP, ColdFusion) depends on what your host supports.
