how to Sending a message to email through a button

[anilson1]

I have created an email account already. Now I want to create a script to recieve or send message from a textbox to this created email. And I am having difficulties on how to write the script.

Any idea?

I have this:
<form action="cgi-bin/MailFolder" method="post">


<textarea name="comment" rows="6" cols="30"></textarea></label>
<br><br>

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="administrator@cavuanzakikolo.x10hosting.com"/>
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="feedback" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="VogMailList.php" />

<input type="submit" value="Send" class="buttonchenger"/>
</form>

from here I do not know where to go or what to do.

This can easily be done with PHP :

- When in doubt, refer to the PHP manual.

I suggest using PHP instead of CGI, there are plenty of simple scripts out there that will allow visitors to send e-mails from your site. DeadBattery linked to one, but there are loads more here: http://www.hotscripts.com/search/?q=Feedback form&cat=PHP&page=1&sort=&license_type=free

Doing this with CGI will be a very awkward task. Your best bet is to use a PHP script to do it for you, it'll take less code and will be easier (trust me ). This tutorial may help you, you can just delete the bits you don't need from the finished thing if you like: http://www.kirupa.com/web/php_contact_form.htm.
