hey all,

I have a form that allows the user to input the information
you can see it here- http://www.christiancouriernewspaper.com/blogbase/form.html

what I need it to do now is when the user clicks SUBMIT for all the information they just filled out be sent to me via e-mail

any ideas/help?

thanks

As far as I know there is no way to send mail using HTML only. I believe you can launch the default mail program but not sure if you can fill in anything other than the email address. Hopefully someone else on here knows the secret but I am pretty sure it can't be done with only HTML.

Sorry friend.

Sorry friend.

thanks for the reply

It will if its your your address in the "RECIPIENT" variable
z could have written

<?php
  $recipient = 'abc@gmail.com'; // configurable
  $subject='Enquiry Form Records'; //configurable

you get used to it
