I'm making a new site with forms on - but I need something to process the forms and send them to me.

Where can I get this where they accept Egold or PayPal payments?

Or do you know somewhere I can get it??

Thanks aa.gif

Do you mean that you want member/visitors to fill out a form on your site and it sends to you?

If this is what you mean, BraveNet has something like that. FREE!

Hope that helps.....if not, I tried. aa.gif

Yes that is what I mean! aa.gif

I don't want it free though, I've used the ones at Freedback too, they are unreliable and have loads of ads and after the form is submitted the surfer is taken off to another site - so I want to pay for it. (not want but need to! ad.gif )

Thanks for trying! aa.gif

Anyone else?

ok.....

I checked with my hubby and he said that you need a CGI script to do that which are also free.......All you have to do is change a couple of words and it will walk you through the process......

Try freecode.com
freecodes.com

You have to be set up on a host that has a CGI bin....

any better?

or

if you're prepared to use PHP instead of CGI (PHP is much easier to work with).

You shouldn't need to pay for one, there are plenty of free scripts to upload to your website that will do the job just as well.

You can get it directly to your mail just with HTML.

If you want to send it to your server, it his necessary that it acepts Php or Cgi and, as already said, you can find the script for free.

For WebHost that accepts Cgi, see my signature in the Utilities section.

cgi.resourceindex.com

they have good full scripts there, as well as remotely hosted scripts. nice and searchable too.

them and hotscripts are the best sites to look for cgi scripts. if ure looking for a php one, then php.resourceindex.com

The most popular form mail processing script is FormMail from Matt's Script Archive, over 2 million downloads since 97. It's not really too complicated, it's full of how-to's and has always been free. It does require a cgi-bin on your server though. Really, having a cgi capable host is truly the only way to go if you want the forms to be processed your way.

You can also use a mailto link for the form action and it will send you the form via the users email client, but it concerns people at times because an alert box will pop up telling them the form is being submitted via email, which is not secure. This method is looked at as unprofessional, but it works.

Not if a person is using Internet Explorer or Netscape. Most all other browsers will do the same thing. It's a security issue and that is why the alert pops when a form is being submitted via email. The reason it is a security issue is because when a form is being submitted via email, the form on the web page physically accesses the person's default email program, Outlook Express, or any other program like that, opens the program and sends the email then closes the program. For Outlook users, the program will not even be seen opening. At one time this was a huge security issue because a person could harvest email addresses from any web site by simply placing a little code in their web page so that when the page loaded, it would automatically send an email to the site owner. The person visiting the site would never see or know anything had happened, and the site owner now has your email address to spam you with and sell in bulk to others in the form of spam lists. This is the main reason for the alert, to let you know that a form is being submitted and ask for your permission.

Since I brought sending forms via email, I should point out that this type of form submission is useless if a person does not have or use an actual email program. If a person only accesses their email via the web and a browser because they do not have an actual email program, then the forms will not be sent at all.
