If what you're after is a contact form, you may like to consider this service:

In my experience, spambots love contact forms. I took precautions with mine, yet within days I got dozens of spam messages. I looked at this free service; it uses the latest anti-spam techniques and is well designed.

The service is paid for by advertising. The "thank-you" page carries an ad. Not too obtrusive, I would have thought.

places like hotscripts.com has lots of code, even if you just get a simple form and pull it apart to find out how it works and build yourself a form suitable for your needs.

I think mailform, or formmail (or was it mattsmail) is a popular downloaded form

Any chance you could help me out with one of those free sites? The only ones i managed to find included links back to the code developer and/or and ad, or off-site form hosting.

I am really after a basic form, about 15 fields, all text. I am thinking php is my best bet.

that is only a snipet of code, and I noticed line 3 and 4 are around the wrong way for the description.

Most forms need a server side language to submit, redirect, continue etc (like PHP, ASP, cold fusion ...) but a simple email address form can be done with javascript (although not the prefered method)

a simple form is this:

your name
your email

thats just a very basic form that would display boxes for name, email and password, the "pageitdoesthestuff.php" is the actual brain of the script (which can be the same page) as it then (or should) check all the fields are filled in correctly, if not will display the form again with an error message, if correct then will either display the content or send to another page.

There are a few free mail forms out there if your web host allows PHP etc
