Re: submitting an enquiry form

It is possible to do this without the use of PHP but it is wicked unreliable and depends on the user having an email client (Outlook, Oulook Express, Thunderbird etc) installed on their PC. I've used it and it blows.

The PHP method works server side and takes the contents of the form and puts it into a format determined by you using form entries to fill in blanks. for example you could get it to say:

Dear Webmaster,

_____________ has applied for the position of __________. They have left a contact telephone number of ____________ and their resume can be found at ___________________.

This is a much more sofisticated and user friendly way of doing email forms, it also means your email address isn't viewable to the public and spammers.

Like Sypher said, look in the PHP forum there will be loads of solutions in there.

Dan.
