Hello,

I need a contact form on my website, that will send to my email address what the visitor enter in the form fields. The problem is that I can't run any php scripts.. is there a way to use some html form?

How are you processing your form ? Does your web host permit any type of server side scripting i..e Perll/CGI etc.?? Did you check to see if your web host has a any in-house server side scripts that would fit the bill ?

If any & all server side processing is dissalowed you might use client side processing using a langauge such as java or javascript.

Does your web host allow PHP or Ruby scripts?

Thank you for your suggestions! I found a site that offers remotely hosted contact forms, http://www.emailmeform.com . Basically, I paste the html code in my website, and it calls the php script on their server who sends the email. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I wrote a simple 2 part PHP script that I modify as needed for all of my websites that I manage. The advantage of using 2 files and having the data handed between the two is that I have extra protection against spammers harvesting the email addresses.

Plus because it's mine and on my server, I have complete control over it.
