I am moving onward as we develop this site I am working on and I was curious if anyone has ever done some e-mail formatting from an online form and had some good ideas for coding this... instead of doing CGI or Perl for example to make the mail nice.
I know how to do forms, but would need the action part and how we can "parse " the information on the form before mailing it to our address.
Help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
E-Mail form

I am asking how to make a web form send nicely formatted output to an e-mail ... like if I go to a page and pick contact and click on e-mail and then they give a web form that sends the e-mail to them... I have a form, but normally you send these things through some kind of CGI script to get cleaned up then it goes out the mail server... I believe... so yes, I am looking to send e-mail from PHP.

If this is what your form sends back, I guess you use method=get, use method=post instead.normal output is something like please+send+information... etc
Code: Select all
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="script.php">...-
