Can you, and if so how;
build a form and get the 'submit' button to send the data in that form to an email address rather then a DB. Thus cutting out the need for any dynamic, server-side crazyness???

this is working on my server but as soon as I move it to a client's server it doesn't. Do I need to check if php is enabled on the the host?

formMail.pl is preinstalled on most share server environments.

type in the domain (top left) to see what the server is running. might be a windows box.

you need to specify the email address you want through their account manager. that link should give you the info you need.
good luck

Sigh' ... That tectite thing was really easy to set-up but not getting any emails through.
It says if your host is running on windows some permissions need to be changed!! Can i really ask my hosting provider to change the permissions of their server???
