    Hi,

    (I searched in google, but couldn't find anything)

    How can I make an email-form, that sent an email to me. The user should only have to click a link (without filling in some information).

    example:
    I want to make a "report a dead-link" feature, so all the information should be already filled in by me. If the user clicks the link, the form should automaticly sent the email to me, with the information I filled in.



    Please need heelp.

    tnx

    Hey p.q.,

    Doing your first form is definitely no fun. :) Here is a contact form generator that you can use: http://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/contact_form/

    It will give you the code for the form page and the form processor in any of several programming languages. The free utility enables you to create form-to-email scripts for your PHP, ASP, or Perl web site with no programming skills needed. Just follow the steps listed to start using your contact form scripts on your website.

    Then, once you’ve created one or two working forms, take a look at the code and get familiar with it. You’ll be hand-coding forms and form processors in no time.

    Get a standard form-to-email PHP script (search hotscripts) and insert into the 'value=""' tag the text you want to be sent to you when the user clicks to do so for each field.
