You will need to check if you have access to a php server if not there are other methods that you can use. If all else fails you can send it via javascript, which is a dirty way to do it but will work.

This was the best help. In a matter of a few minutes I had this email form up and running inside a table on my site. Thanks!

I do have a ? though. Is it possible to somehow encrypt or 'hide' the email address that receives the form? (So it does not get crawled and spammed)


Thanks again!
Sandy

How would i go about adjusting the end section of script if i have put in an email address text box in the form.

So this email form works perfectly that I quoted before a few posts up. I was wondering though how to make 1-2 fields a required fill in subject line. Nothing fancy like checking to make sure it's a valid email address, but just so they have to type something in the Name box the Email box.
If anyone would be willing to help out I'd be greatly appreciated. Here is the php script I'm using now but I have no idea who emails me since the email field is cgi-mailer@perfora.net.

Code works now fine, but I just want to add a *required Name field and *required email address field:

****The only thing I changed or posting this code on the web was my email address.
$recipient = 'fake@fakeemail.com'; hehehe

Again any help would be greatly appreciated!

p.s. I really hope I'm not spamming, but maybe in hopes that if I get a answer so will others

Cheers,
Sandy
