Web page form, click submit, and e-mails to me?

Question

I want to create a form on my web site for potential customers to fill out, click "submit", and is then e-mailed to me.  Is this possible in iweb?

Answer 1

Here is what I did for my website http://www.pusatbahasa.org/pb/contact_us.html.
First you have to create a php file and upload it to your server through cPanel or PHP clienct (but not through iWeb). Put the file in public_html, do not put it in folder you created using iweb becasue it will be deleted when you republish the site. you should be able to access the file in "www.yourdomain.com/contact-us.php". Here I attach the file I created, You  should change "[email protected]" you your own email address becasue the form will be sent to that email. Later, you can mess around with it. try changing things. You can edit this file using text editor like Text Wrangler. Download it here: http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/

Secondly, you should create the form in iWeb using html snippet. Here I attach the code, open it using textwrangler, copy the content and paste it into your HTML Snippet. You should change the url for the file "contact-us.php" according to where you put it in your hosting. In my case I put it in "http://www.pusatbahasa.org/contact-us.php" Make sure to change that.

TROUBLESHOOTING.
If the email is not sent to the email address you specified after you do the test, try to contact your hosting provider and tell them that "mail()" does not work. However, you need to make sure that your hosting support php first. Free hosting usually doesnt. MobileMe doesnt either.
Hope it Helps,
