Or you can do a PHP script that previews everything before they send it to you....

On the first page (place where data is being entered):

<form method='post' action='preview.php'>
[Form stuff here]
</form>

and on the Second page, you put this code in the same table but replace the textboxes with the following:

echo $_POST['field_name'];

and that is it....

Just Use Phpbb and download the forum and upload it on your host its alot easier then trying to figure all the html coding

is that your code?? umm are you like trying to make an email form, where people fill it out send it and the form gets sent to your email (or wherever you want it to go)?? i think bravenet (http://www.bravenet.com) gives a free tutorial...**** on the email forms icon and i think you have to install it and stuff, but they have a tutorial on how you can make a form all by yourself ^_^ it's not that hard, they're really good

you should make sure the entered information
is not dangerous/malicious
you can use javascript to ensure that

Here is a very basic and easy form:

<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/mycgi.pl">
name: <INPUT NAME=realname>

email: <INPUT NAME=email>

subject: <INPUT NAME=subject>

Comments and Questions: <INPUT NAME=comments and questions>

<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT><form action="mailto:youre-mailAddress@whatever.com?"</FORM>

In the part where it says your email address, you type in the email address in which you want the form to be sent to.

Any way that the e-mail could be sent without the user actually send the message manually.

For your basic input boxes (single line input):

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="name" size="30">

For your textarea (multi line input):

Code: Select all

<textarea name="comment" rows="6" cols="40"></textarea>
