Inkyskin_UK Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 If your server supports PHP, you could try this... Make your page as you have, but change the action to this: <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="send_mail.php"> Then create and upload this page, called send_mail.php: $name = strip_tags($name); $sendto = "you@youremail"; $subject = "Website contact form"; $message = "$name"; $from = "From: you@youremail"; mail($sendto, $subject, $message, $from); $next_page = "index.html"; header("Location: $next_page"); That will send an email from your own email, to your own email with the $name variable, which was grabbed from your form. Then it will redirect back to your index page, or whatever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
