Form Help

I was looking through the scripts but I didnt find what I was looking for.

I want a registration form with a bunch of Info that people have to fill out and when they hit submit, I want all that info to be sent to my Email address or saved into a file in FTP or something.

I want it to include First and Last Name, Company name, telephone, Website URL (beginning with http://), Email, Fax(Optional), Country, and a Business type (drop down box that has Importer, Whole-Saler, Customer Agent, and Retailer.).

If there is no script like that, can someone please make one and so it will work with .htm extension format.

Thank you in advance

I need it ASAP

No.
This requires some form of server-side scripting.

Ummm, ok. So where can I get this then?

You need ASP.

Well, actually, any server-side language will do, such as PHP or JSP, but you must have it installed on your server.

How do I know if I have it install or not? Where can I install it, and do I have to change all my files from .htm to a .asp extension?

do I have to change all my files from .htm to a .asp extension?

No, just one.

How do I know if I have it install or not?

Create a file with a .php, .asp, or .jsp extension. Navigate to it in your browser. If your browser asks you what to do with it, it isn't installed on your server.

ok, so if I decide to get PHP as my serverside language, how can I make it work for my form that I need?

I just checked it and I have it.

PHP Code:


<?php if(isset($_POST['first'])) {
  $message = $_POST['first'] . ' ' . $_POST['last'] . ' (' . $_POST['email'] . ') has just submitted your form.\n'
    . 'Telephone: ' . $_POST['tel'] . '\n'
    . 'Company: ' . $_POST['company'] . '\n';
  mail("you@yourdomain.com", "Form submission", $message, "From: " . $_POST['email'] . "\r\n");
?>
<html>
<!-- Thank-you page goes here, in plain HTML -->
</html>
<?php
  die();
}
?>
<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="<?php echo($PHP_SELF); ?>" method="post">
      Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
      First name: <input type="text" name="first"><br>
      Last name: <input type="text" name="last"><br>
      Company name: <input type="text" name="company"><br>
      <!-- You get the idea... -->
      <input type="submit" value="Post">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Untested. Note that PHP may need some extra setup to get mail working.

Thank you so much!

So If I was using asp instead of php would it be the same? And do you make a different page with the script that tells it where to go or does it do that by itself?
