hello everyone, happy holidays! i decided to create a website and on my contact page, i would like a future customer to fill out some basic info. when they click submit, i would like the contents of the contact form to be emailed to me.

how can i set that up? can someone guide in the right direction?

thank you.

There are plenty of ways to do this depending on your host's capabilities (e.g. PHP, ASP, etc), but you certainly do not need MySQL to do this, if that's what you're implying with your subject (it seems a bit irrelevant to me). Anywho, I would investigate your capabilities and then do a simple Google search to find one of the thousands of free scripts out there.

The only reason you would need MySQL is if you wanted to store the customer's details in an accessible database, but if you simply want them emailed to you, MySQL is not needed. Wink

You might also take a look at Wufoo. Several beginner students in my Web design class had good success with it.
