Anyone know of a good form-2-email script or somethin?

I'm looking for a good form which allows visitors to fill out, and when submitted it either goes to the log, or is sent to my e-mail.
Reason for this is, I didn't want to just give out my e-mail address in the open, so every visitor could respond or bomb my e-mail without having to work at it lol.

I've checked out some javascript forms, but most of them are crap. I don't like how they have to prompt the person to send the message, and suddenly a e-mail client is opened and then the message is sent.

I use to have alot of forms on my older pc, which had the ability to send straight from the site to either a post in a text file of the site, or to an e-mail address, it never had to prompt people or use those mailing clients. Anyhow, I hope I don't have to go all out to get this form stuff done right.

 

I'm using FormMail from Matt's Script Archive.

 

What do you want? ASP or PHP scipt

 

If you are looking for a PHP version then I have one already designed that I could give you for a small fee.

PM if interested.

Steve.

 

php form generator is free - open source

 

I usually roll my own, what server-language you want?

 

if you want ... u can look at www.planetsourcecode.com...

 

Ok not sure if this is what your are looking for.

 

I've worked with php more than asp, so php, java, something. haha

 

YES! I think thats it! lemme check it out

 

Well, I'm trying to work out the bugs, man its just been such a long time since I've messed with this stuff lol. Though times not on my side right now, I need to get this stuff done and move on, going to check out my old pc and see whats available.

 

you should probably replace it with http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml

 

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_mail" METHOD=POST>

What is your name?
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="visitors"><BR>
What is your email address?
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email"><BR>

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="end_display" VALUE="http://www.YOURLINK.com">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="required" VALUE="email">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="order" VALUE="visitor_name, email">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="savefile" VALUE="visitors.txt">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="email_to" VALUE="username@somewhere.com">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">

</FORM>
Only Problem is I get a crappy response: Oops!
We can only accept forms that come from a Angelfire URL. Sorry!
They don't even have a contact for me to write to. I'm pretty pissed right now! I've tried about 5 different things so far, some perl, some generators, some php, some java. I don't know what'll please this site! nothing but bs, I even know other ways to work with java, but the recent javascripts that ACTUALLY worked sort of scare people away and they pretty much don't do what I want, they end up opening a mailing client and well it pretty much ends up being a mailto link lol. NOT the one above, just another one I used before.

 

I'M GONNA KILL ANGELFIRE! LMAO! j/k

 

Why should I do that?

 

Because Matt's scripts are known to be badly-written, buggy and insecure. Did you even bother to read the site I linked to?

 

Well of course, duh.

I was hoping that your opinion was backed up with some sort of facts.

 

It is, but I don't like to help those who are not showing signs of helping themselves

 

Just in case some others of you don't know the difference between opinions and facts. It is a fact that Matt's scripts are known to be major sources of spam injection. They were kludged together and have had many exploits. Many web hosts ban the use of them, and scanners have been written to detect them.

NMS orginally stood for Not Matts Scripts. Even Matt himself has said to use these now instead of his scripts ( http://www.scriptarchive.com/nms.html ). Now that that has occured NMS no longer official stands for not matts scripts as that name was considered rude. They do much more parameter checking and are much better written and designed. They also give you the option to not have to leave your email address on the page for harvestors.

Nothing that is not facts about it.... just would have taken you a little effort to actually read some of the materials on the site to save me from having to type it and repeat it here. Nothing you posted indicated you put any effort into learning why yourself.


In summary don't use Matt's scripts in new deployments, and if you are using them and not too lazy, you should replace them asap.

 

Ha ha... that's me!

What a loon.
