Form mailto:

[SamohtVII]

So i can remember ages and ages ago I had a page that could have a form and on submit the form would send an email to myself with the details. Now when I try to recreate this all it does is open the users default mail program. Am i mistaken or can you get it to send an email immediately from the website without using php etc. ty

mailto: opens the default mail client. Even then, you can't rely on every browser/client to exchange the same information. I never use it. The solution you're probably thinking of does require a server script. I'm pretty sure you can search for one that requires minimal setup.

once again,PHP is what you need here,Use a HTML Form,and the PHP email located here;http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mail.asp So set the $to = Your email and then use a HTML Form POST method, to get the email address of the user sending, and put that as a variable, then use that in the $from field.etc
