    Hi,

    On a website I am adding a contact form. "Input a query etc".

    My HTML is as follows:
    <form action=mailto:info@myemail.com method=post>
                  <p> Full Name:</p>
                  <div>
                    <input name="full name" type="text" class="form" id="name">
                  </div>
                  <div class="spacer"></div>
                  <p>E-mail Address:</p>
                  <div>
                    <input name="email" type="text" class="form">
                  </div>
                  <div class="spacer"></div>
                  <p>Phone Number:</p>
                  <div>
                    <input name="phone" type="text" class="form">
                  </div>
                  <div class="spacer"></div>
                  <p>Comments or Questions:</p>
                  <div>
                    <textarea name="message" cols="35" rows="6"></textarea>
                  </div>
                  <div class="spacer"></div>
                 
                    <input name="Submit" type="image" value="Send" src="images/send-button.gif">
                  
                </form>
    




    Warning Message:

    The form is being submitted using e-mail. Submitting this from will reveal your e-mail address to the recipient, and will send the form data without encrypting it for privacy.
    You may continue of cancelthis submission? (OK) or (Cancel).



    Second Warning Message:

    This program is trying to ...............


    After selecting "OK" to the two warning messages I recieve an email with the info attached. When I open the attachment it reads as follows:
    full+name=Joe+Murphy&email=joem@gmail.com&phone=087+2221111&message=Please+contact+me+with+product+information.&Submit.x=69&Submit.y=20
    

    I have two questions I wonder can anyone help with:
    1. How can I remove this message and have the email sent without the user recieving this message
    2. Can the information be formatted so it apprear on seperate lines with correct spacing?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey jmal,

    From reading your code snippet it appears that you don't have any experience with PHP.

    9/10 times what people do is have a form on a html page and submit (action) it to a PHP file which will then validate the data and either store it in a database or send it as an email to somebody.

    PM me if you want me to write you a simple contact form script, but saying that you should find what you need with Gooooogle.
