I'm looking to add a little field onto my index page with a little send button next to it, The user can put some text in that field (only a small ammount, a max of 100 characters or so) and when they hit a send button the text is emailed to an adress of my choice. I want to use it so I can get feedback from my users to find out what they would like to see. What language would be able to do this?
best done with a html form that calls a php file (in the action field of the form). 1. the max length will be defined in the form input field definition itself 2. you can also add some javascript for any additional field validation
Now spammers can use his contact form to send out spam and then he will lose his hosting account. I'm willing to bet you could be held liable for your unsecure code
PHP. I was going to tell this no matter what the question would have been. Bcoz on the web platform most of the things are acheiveable by PHP.
A method refered to as sql injection can be used to add new fields to the form including an extra email address. As well as run code on your server. Code needs to be sanitized/parsed to prevent the use of illegal characters..
