Need a contact form

[delbia]

Hello,

I need a contact form on my website hosting, 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?

delbia, the .html script paul gave you for creating a contact form is a good one to go with but you will again need either a .cgi or a ".php" script in backend for sending a mail for the details that would be entered in the .html form, hope you are aware of that?
Anyways, the thing that is concerning me is "why can't you run any php scripts?" And it's really weird if you have a hosting account and this restriction has been imposed by your host! And if that is the case, I'm sure your host won't be eUKhost coz they do not have any restrictions on php, except for some functions that can be a cause for an intrusion or attack. But they are nowhere used in a form-mailing script again.

Dosent eukhost have a bunch of scripts like that on Cpanel too ?

Well eUKhost must not be having ready custom form scripts, but if asked for one, they might provide some with some nominal charges for the work.
But even if eUKhost provides some scripts and if they are in PHP, then they won't be of any use to delbia, as PHP is not executable/restricted on his/her server. If CGI still works there, then a CGI script for backend form-mailing would be a better option for delbia

I think Brian meant in regards to the CGI / Software centre and fantastico? (if I am not mistaken!)

Youre not mistaken

Ok, first thought that came into my mind was the platform on which your website hosting is hosted on. Is it Linux or Windows ? In any case it's weird that you can't run any PHP scripts Or it may be some sort of misconfiguration on the server that isnt allowing you to run any PHP scripts. Did you try using Perl or CGI scripts, or are they disabled too ?

Linux :
Have a look at this URL : tectite.com/formmailpage.php
It provides you to create a form mail script through it's configuration wizard.

Windows :
Use any email component such as ASPEmail, CDOSYS, Jmail, etc for sending emails through your webpage. A more simpler one can be created using MS Frontpage.

I assure you that we don't have any such restriction on either of our (Windows/Linux) hosting plans. A quick email/ticket to our support will surely help in getting your issues sorted.

Also don't forget the CGI / software centre and fantastico - that has to be the easiest way (especially for the less technically gifted of us) to get things up and running. 3 steps and your ready to go!

Also if you using something like Frontpage (GASP! ) or another editor such as dreamweaver I am sure that they have a contact form creator - Frontpage definitely does have - all you have to do is answer a few questions and it makes it all for you and sets up the script so that you can be emailed the contents automatically and also save it in a secure (passworded) folder on the web server in many different formats (.txt, .html, .csv etc).

I'm having the same issue, but I CAN run PHP.

I need a code that will help me connect the data people filled in the form I've made, into the data base on PHPmyadmin that I've made.

Thanks In Advance

Shir,

From what you said, I'm considering that the data/info filled by people is already stored in the database (and a mail for the same is probably sent to them at the very same time) and you just want to retrieve this data from the database at some later instance (for your reference). 1> In that case you can use a third party database too like MySQL Yog (freeware, considering it's a MySQL database) to connect to the database.
2> If you want it through a script, you can include a code like one mentioned below to accomplish it:

// load the database library
include('DB.php');

$dbtype = "mysql";
$dbuser = "site42";
$dbpassword = "uIW34#22";
$dbhost = "database.myorg.com";
$dbname = "database42";
$connection = $dbtype.'://'.$dbuser.':'.$dbpassword.'@'.$dbhost.'/'.$dbname;
$database = DB::connect($connection);
?>

3> Last but not the least, PHPMyAdmin is always there to access this database through a GUI interface.

[la_musicata]

OK, that's what:

1. I have a shoping form for clients to fill. It has some fields.
2. I've created a database table on PHPmyadmin with the same fields.
3. I still don't know how to make the details of the clients move into the database once the client pressed on the "Send" button.
4. I still don't know how to make a pop-up window saying "Thank You" to the client once he pressed "Send".
5. Did figure out how to send an automatic e-mail response to the clients- I've created a new e-mail of the shop with "Auto-Responder" as soon as the mailbox gets mail, but how do I connect it to the "Send" Button?
6. Lastly, how do I create an error note for the clients if he forgot to fill a nessesary field?

I've searched answers for all of these questions around the web but didn't get clear and easy to follow instructions.

If you could help me with it, it will be great.

+ Here is the code of the form I've made in HTML+some PHP (sorry about the length):
