Hello everyone!

I have a little question to ask.. It`s safe to use a remote contact form like www.emailmeform.com ?

Thanks in advance!

Why not write your own. Its a lot easier than you think!

I agree with reggaeton_king... It would be better to write your own.
Forms are -incredibly simple- to write.

When the data hits the third party, you can't ensure its integrity, etc. You can only watch it to the door... never what goes on behind the door or what happens to the data after the transaction is complete. Some asses are in business to obtain and distribute personal information like phone numbers, addresses, etc.

Can someone offer some example projects on various contact forms? I am using a free one with their advertisement.

firstly make sure your host supports PHP if it dosent go here: http://cp1.runhosting.com

then try this

save as: Home.XHTML

<Form method="post" action="sendmail.PHP">

Email: <input name="email" type="text" /> <br />

Message:<br />

<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40">

</textarea> <br />

<input type="submit" value="submit"><br />

</form>

Save as: sendmail.PHP <-- make sure that this file is exacly the same as the one you use in the action part above or it will not run.

make sure you replace yourMail@yourhost.com with your email address.

<?

  $email = $_REQUEST['email'];

  $message = $_REQUEST['message'];



   mail( "yourMail@yourhost.com", "Feedback Form Results",

      $message, "From: $email");

     header( "Location: http://americanvideo.mywebcommunity.org/");

?>
