Contact Us form

**ZX7R** · 12th September 2005

Hi,

I've put together a website for a friend's company and have included a 'Contact Us' page. The hosting service/package does NOT include PHP support so I cannot include a simple contact form (name ,email, comment fields).

If there a seperate service that I can use in order to implement this? Just wondered if there's any sites out there that allow you to use their server for the sake of a link to their site or something?

Cheers.

Hello,
There is one possible way you could do this in plain html which uses the clients mail program in order to send the message. The way one would do this is to have a form as normal (as if it was a php page) but have the form declaration as such:

Code:

<form name='Email' method='post' action='mailto:you@yourdomain.com'>

It's not brilliant, but it does the trick! Alternatively, if you know someone who has a PHP enabled server, you could write the script and then post to his server instead, providing of course that hee has PHP set up to allow this.

Hope this helps!
John.

thanks for the tip - I tried this previously. But I know that quite a few people may access the site from remote or public machines that will not have an email client installed.

I'll see if I can find a way to post the php script to someone else's server.

cheers.

managed to solve this problem!
I found a free web host who supports PHP. I stuck the .php on there and pointed to it from my own domain and all works fine!
