can someone please help me out with the code for a form. when the form is submitted i want the information to me emailed to me as text not as an attachment, if it can be done.

You might want to repost this to the PHP/MySQL section, as this question partains to using either CGI/Perl or PHP sendmail functions. You can also use ASP for such a thing - depending on what you are more comfortable with. If you don't care too much about formatting you can use the plain text format in your form action and change the email address like this (see cautions after form):

<form method="post" enctype="text/plain" action="mailto:you@yourdomain.com">

Caution: the only problem with using this function was that last time I checked it didn't work in AOL.
If this doesn't work for you I would suggest going with CGI, PHP, or ASP, so that you can format things how you want. If you have someone else hosting your website you should check with them, oftentimes they have premade formmail scripts that you can use.

Hope that helps,

thanks i think that code workd good enough i just put in the enctype="text/plain"

Unless your users are expecting the form to be mailed that way, they may cancel it on submission. Most browsers issue a "privacy" warning when a form is submitted using email.

Basically the warning tells the user that their email address will be exposed if they submit the form.
