Hi, as far as I know, to be able to send a contact form, you need the PHP mail() function. As I don't have PHP installed, is there some other solution to do it ?

You can use a third party's service, where the mail is sent trough their server and then forwarded to the address you specify. It's basically the same thing except the php page lies on their server and you set the 'action' attribute on your form tag to that page. Of course, you shouldn't use this alternative for "important" or personal e-mails, since you don't know what they do to it, other than forwarding. For example, they might store a copy of and read all e-mails that passes by.

You can probably find some services like this by searching Google for "free formmail" or similar.

Every server has some kind of language installed -- use that language. PHP isn't the only, nor the first, language to be able to send and receive email.

If you have perl installed, you can use Perl based form mail

Else you can use a service like wufoo or jotform
