I have added a HTML form to my website. I want the contents of the form to be emailed to me. Is there a script I could use in my coding to process the form or will I have to use a form processing service like formsomatic.com?

then this script is a good one:
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml

formmail.pl

It requires minimal configuration and is secure when set up properly.

This script will process your form inputs and point them to an email handler on the server. You will need the location of the perl executor on the server and the name / location of the mail processor.

It's not as complex as it sounds and your host might help you with it in self defense.

good luck!

Thanks. Our web server is in house and it is windows IIS. Does the script go on the server on in my code?

your web server should include several files 'public' or 'home', 'images' etc. one of these files will be CGI Bin or just Bin if your server is setup to handle CGI scripting.

This is not really a specific question to resolve a problem. The person is looking for opinions and therefore has opened it as a topic of discussion. I don't feel there will be right or wrong answers just information.

Appreciate you getting on the Wrong Forum bandwagon though!
