Simple Form to e-mail, but with a twist ;)
I need a basic form to e-mail solution similar to this one http://www.easyasphosting.com/AboutUs.html#contact
Ok, I know this has been asked hundreds of times before but I have a few twists for you,
> I don’t care which language, the simpler the better though ;)
> I will not change my page endings, they are currently .Shtml
> Can I get the e-mail to be HTML type? Plain text is kind of boring ;)
And the real stumbling block....
> I need to take account of this http://www.easyasphosting.com/SupportUsingEmailInScripts.html but I have no idea how?
I will accept links or preferably code, I will double the points if you could provide a link/code for adding multiple attachments from the clients computer
Hope I am not asking too much, but I have tried similar supposedly 'simple' projects like this and have wasted too many hours hung up on little twists like the above ;)
Many thanks
David

You can use this PHP code: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/php/dnld.php?file=1&action=0
It will make nice formatted mails and multiple attachements are possible

well the most simple solution, and provided by the most isps and hosting firms, is cgi.
You'll have to check on your isp/hosts site if it is supported and what the path is (like http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl)
I've picked for you a random isp for the manual, because they're al the same: http://www.simplyweb.net/websetup/mailform/mailform.html
If it is not clear, tell me which isp or host you use

*sigh* I could have easily got all the above resources, there is no cgi-scripts on my site, I know there are some asp components installed, a list at the bottom http://www.easyasphosting.com/hosting.html of that page.... however I have no idea how to use them, and I am still no closer to taking account of this
http://www.easyasphosting.com/SupportUsingEmailInScripts.html - I have no idea how?
puca01 > my webhost is www.easyasphosting.com ;)
As I said this should be a simple little project, however it is TOO simple obviously I dont want some wossy little tutorial for idiots, I would much prefur a huge 20+page tutorial so i know whats going on and how to modify it for my needs..... Alternitivly... could someone please provide some code that will work and an explination of how to use it, and to get around the spam prevention with my host,
many thanks

it also has a method to obtain the HTML representing the composed mail, which can be directly sent to the server-side script to process then on.
supporting attachments, require much coding to parse the MIME multipart content sent from the browser and i have come across some java class libraries to parse multiparts. any search engine should take u there.
