I have a form that asks for information such as, name, email address, and messsage.

When the user clicks submit i want the information to be sent to me in the form of an email, i know i need to use php or asp or something, but i don't know any coding.

I am using dreamweaver to make the form.

any help would be much appreciated

This is for ASP. Point the action attribute of your form to 'emaildo.asp', then use code similar to the following (edit for your needs), and save as emaildo.asp

Code: Select all

<%
EmailFrom = "me@blah.com"
EmailTo = "you@server.com"
Subject = "subject here"
name = Trim(Request.Form("name"))
Message = Trim(Request.Form("Message"))

Body = "name: " & name & VbCrLf
Body = Body & "Message: " & Message & VbCrLf

' send email
Dim mail
Set mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
mail.To = EmailTo
mail.From = EmailFrom
mail.Subject = Subject
mail.Body = Body
mail.Send

' redirect to success page
Response.Redirect("done.htm")%>

Of course, there is no input validation above, but it should at least get you started.

The above will send you an email, then redirect the user to done.htm
