Hi Anupam,

You can use the below code and it will automatically load up the default mail service provider that the user has set up, whether it be gmail or a desktop application such as Windows Mail or Microsoft Outlook.

<form action="mailto: someone@yourdomain.com" method="POST" enctype="text/plain"><input type="text" name="name"><input type="email" name="email"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></form>

The above form uses the mailto protocol installed into most browsers, so it will set up email contents and it will load up the email application, and then the user will have to click send.

It will come out like this

name=Value

email=Value

 

and the 'to' email address will be the one that you place after the mailto: protocol in the form action.

 

If you wanted to change this so that the user doesn't have to click send in their email provider, Niche had the right solution to use PHP mail so that it sends it from any email address you like.

 

If you need help on that, let us know by replying.

 

Hope this helps.
