Generating email from Form Input

I have a form on my webpage. I would like visitors to complete this
form and click a send button that generates an email. How can this be
done? With Javascript of PHP? In either case, please send me pointers
to where I can find more information. (I am an utter PHP noob.)

Thanks,

re: Generating email from Form Input

In my infrastructure I have a separate class for each business entity
(database table) but each of these class instances communicate to the
database through a single DML class instance. The trick is to create the DML
instance in a global variable where it can be accessed by any and all
business entity instances.

I have put together a sample application (described in
http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql...plication.html) which can be
run online. You can also download all the source code to see how it is done.

Hope this helps.

PHP - read the info. on the mail() function in the PHP documentation.
It's very straightforward.

You can create such a PHP-script with my Online Form-Generator and
receive the PHP-Code via E-Mail:

The server program cgiemail may do what you want. The user fills out
an html form, the form data get posted to the server, cgiemail gets
invoked, cgiemail uses a template to generate an email, and cgiemail
sends the email to whoever is specified in the template.

For more details on cgiemail, see:

http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/cgiemail/

There are other free email form servers that you can use and that you
do not have to install. Some are mentioned in ths group, but I
couldn't come up with an accurate google search.
