Was just wondering how set up an email form that sends the results directly to a desired inbox without opening up outlook or other default mail clients.
I know very little about this topic but I have been on sites , especially support sites for software companies where it allow you to just fill in your name and email and sends the request immeidately upon clicking the submit button. I do not like the alternative where you click submit and it takes the information you have entered and puts it into an outlook express email.
thanks
You can create a html form that collects all the info you want emailed to you and then when the user clicks a “send” button, all the form info is sent to a server side script, like php, which uses the php mail() functon to send an email containing all the form info to you.
Creating the <form> bit in HTML is very straightforward. At it’s most basic, it’s just a series of <input> elements with different names, although you can be a lot more sophisticated than that if you want.
