HTML fORMS?!?!?!?

1 ⤊

Okay so here is the deal. i am really new with the whole webdesign and html thing. I have a website that is for a game server on Flight Simulator X. so i got the site and everything else went fine but i need to get a form on a page so people can enter their first name, email, and gamespy id and then click submit and it goes to me. i dont care if it goes to my email or not, i just need to be able to retrieve that info and i also need to make sure that all they need to do is click submit and not anything with email clients or suttin. the site is www.lifeinflight.org and if u look just clikc the members tab at the top. it needs to go after the paragraph on that page. if you need more info, email me at admin@lifeinflight.org.thanks!

To set up a form on a page, use code like this:

This creates a form with a single text field about 32 characters wide, as well as a "hidden" field (generally used to pass configuration info to the program). You'd probably want 3 textfields (give them different names) making sure they're all inside the

tags. There are different codes for radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdown menus, and multiline text areas, but you probably won't need them. When you press the submit button, the information will go to the "program.cgi" program (in the cgi-bin directory, which is where such programs are normally kept), which processes the input, in your case assembling an e-mail and sending it off.

If you're not up to writing the program, there are some free form-mail programs available. A pretty basic CGI script which will take input from an HTML form and e-mail it to you is FormMail. Advantages: it works and is pretty easy to set up (assuming you have server access), and the documentation isn't too bad. Disadvantages: not very good security, hasn't been updated in 5 years.

I recently heard of nmsFormMail and TFmail. I haven't tried them, but they're at sourceforge.net, and they're supposed to be improvements on the original formmail.

you can do that with a simple html form
just be sure to write up a perl or php script to process/email the information to you

it would look something like this: "index.Hypertext Preprocessor" html physique field a million: field 2: physique html as quickly as you have this type created... open up the internet site that the type is meant to direct to. type here: "nameofdocument.Hypertext Preprocessor" html physique br br physique html Now regardless of you submitted into field a million will show up on the internet site once you employ the code: echo $_POST [ ' text1' ] ; and regardless of you submitted into field 2 in the type will show up on the internet site while utilising the code: echo $_POST [ ' text2' }; optimistically this helps you. :)
