ok i need help with this one part on a form. once the person fills out the form how can i make it so tht when you click submit it sends all of tht to the email the person provided in the form.

You need to learn PHP, ASP, or some server side language to do that. I suggest picking up a book or starting off with some tutorials. Your best bet is learning PHP. Check Google for the tutorials. There are tons no doubt.

Try awardspace.com, i think they allow you to use php and also perl in their free hosting plan.

Check out mailto. It isn't the most secure solution, but there you have it.

sry this is off-topic but which one should i use in PHP?
$_GET or $_POST

Booooze · Jun 19th, 2007, 12:38 AM

It depends, the GET method displays the data in the address bar. The POST method hides it all. If the data should be secured, use POST, else the GET method should be ok.
