I have got to the last book of my course and it has taught me how to design a submit form.

Basic form but it then goes on to say to get the form to work you will have to use software from your hosting company.

Where do I start?? have the form ready.
Company hosting with is www.gnhosting.co.uk

You don't really need software from your hosting company, you can actually create your own script. Using a server-side language is always the best way to go about it: PHP or ASP/.NET

I always send people to joe2torials.com for scripts but there's tons and tons on the internet.

In the contact.php that's on the tutorials site, there's this

Code: Select all

<div id="Wrapper">
<?php
$Error = $_GET['error'];
if(isset($Error)) {
echo '<fieldset><legend>Contact Form</legend>'."n";
echo '<form action="thank_you.php" method="post">'."n";
echo '<p><label for="name"><strong>Name :</strong></label><br />'."n";
echo '<input type="text" name="name" id="name" tabindex="1" size="40" value="'.$_SESSION['name'].'" /></p>'."nn";

You need to be using that contact.php file ... not the one you have pasted here.
