Hi, I need help in creating my form. I'm new to DW and need to know how to create my Submit and Reset forms to do what they say on the tin!! Do I have to create an action/behaviour?? Do I need to use a CGI/PHP script?? And once I have that done, I need to ensure that the Submit button submits to a 'hidden' email address!! Sorry if this doesn't make much sense!! If it doesn't, I OBVIOUSLY need help!!!

you need php script for that mate, you can use a html based form but that is a mailto:

for the hidden you need to php script it, if you check the php forum, there is loads of posts about forms, many people have the same problem, there should be actual script you can use also

even if you can build a "mailto" form that doesn't need a server side CGI/PHP script, the latter is obviously the best solution (ie you need, this is the case, to hidden the destination address)

the destination script, that will be executed by pressing submit button is set in action attribute of FORM field

<form method="post" action="mickeymouse.php">
<label for="name">enter your name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

from within your php script you will be able to access to FORM data using $_POST array. Ie a mickeymouse.php file that simply print out to screen the name would be

mickeymouse.php

<?php

print "your name is " . $_POST["name"];

?>

hope this help!

It sounds that you are new to scripts, if so the best option for you is to use form generator. Its pretty easy to install & use. It says, phpFormGenerator is an easy-to-use tool to create reliable and efficient web forms in a snap. No programming of any sort is required. Just follow along the phpFormGenerator wizard and at the end, you will have a fully functional web form!

visit the site at http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net/ and find the download link on the top navigation bar.

If your host supports PHP, use that. It is very easy to send form result with PHP's built in mail() function. There are plenty of tutorials on the internet on how to do it.

yeah but you also need smtp on your space as well as php

I hope this will help you. Try to follow the code and understand it. It's written in PHP

Thanks to you all for your advice. I'm not ruling anything out at the mo, so will put all of the suggestions to use.

Thanks again!!
