In the document with the form, you must have this:

Code:

&#60;form method=&#34;post&#34; action=&#34;form2mail.php&#34;&#62;

Then, upload the following file to the same directory as form2mail.php after editing everything:

Code:

&#60;?php
// Script by George A. & Calin S. from Web4Future.com. Modified slightly by haxor41789 for standards compliance.

// EDIT THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES

&#036;MailToAddress = &#34;[email protected]&#34;; // This is your email address. Use &#34;, &#34; to seperate multiple addresses.
&#036;redirectURL = &#34;http&#58;//www.web4future.com/thankyou.htm&#34;; // The URL of the thank you page.
&#036;MailSubject = &#34;&#91;Message from the contact form&#93;&#34;; // The subject of the message you will receive
&#036;MailToCC = &#34;&#34;; // Also sends the email to this address &#40;leave empty if you don&#39;t use it&#41;

// DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE

&#036;Message = &#34;&#34;;
if &#40;&#33;is_array&#40;&#036;HTTP_POST_VARS&#41;&#41;
return;
reset&#40;&#036;HTTP_POST_VARS&#41;;
while&#40;list&#40;&#036;key, &#036;val&#41; = each&#40;&#036;HTTP_POST_VARS&#41;&#41; {
&#036;GLOBALS&#91;&#036;key&#93; = &#036;val;
if &#40;is_array&#40;&#036;val&#41;&#41; { 
&#036;Message .= &#34;&#60;strong&#62;&#036;key&#58;&#60;/strong&#62; &#34;;
foreach &#40;&#036;val as &#036;vala&#41; { 
&#036;vala =stripslashes&#40;&#036;vala&#41;;
&#036;Message .= &#34;&#036;vala, &#34;;
}
&#036;Message .= &#34;&#60;br /&#62;&#34;;
} 
else {
&#036;val = stripslashes&#40;&#036;val&#41;;
if &#40;&#40;&#036;key == &#34;Submit&#34;&#41; || &#40;&#036;key == &#34;submit&#34;&#41;&#41; { } &nbsp;
else { &nbsp;if &#40;&#036;val == &#34;&#34;&#41; { &#036;Message .= &#34;&#036;key&#58; - &#60;br&#62;&#34;; }
else { &#036;Message .= &#34;&#60;strong&#62;&#036;key&#58;&#60;/strong&#62; &#036;val&#60;br&#62;&#34;; }
}
}
}
&#036;Message = &#34;&#60;span style=&#092;&#34;font-face&#58;verdana;font-size&#58;12px;&#092;&#34;&#62;&#34;.&#036;Message.&#34;&#60;/span&#62;&#34;;
mail&#40; &#036;MailToAddress, &#036;MailSubject, &#036;Message, &#34;Content-Type&#58; text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1&#092;r&#092;nFrom&#58; &#34;.&#036;email.&#34;&#092;r&#092;nBCc&#58; &#34;.&#036;MailToCC&#41;;
header&#40;&#34;Location&#58; &#34;.&#036;redirectURL&#41;;
?&#62;

Set permissions to --rwxr-xr-x and you're good to go.

Hope this helps.

If you have SmartFTP or somthing equivalent, in the command prompt you can type:

CHMOD --rwxr-xr-x form2mail.php

or

CHMOD 700 form2mail.php

I think he's on a shaw members site. No php, no cgi, front page enabled but extremely limited, no asp.

That just blows.

You could use <form method="post" action="mailto:[your]@[email].[address]?subject=[subject]">, but this requires that the user have an email client installed.
