All I need to do is be able to make information typed in by a user into a txt field to be sent to an email address to my choice when they hit a button. Sort of a comments box type thing, where the comments are sent instantly to an email address. Sounds simple i’m just having trouble doing it, help would be much appreciated.
you need to have a server that is php, cgi or asp enabled. php is my choice of language. Then you need to make sure your server allows for mail to be sent (send mail, form mail, etc)
contact your webhost provider then we can help. It isn’t something flash handles by itself.
there are hundreds of free mailform scripts written in perl floating around the internet. Matt’s has been moved to here His is easy to use. Just make sure you know your absolute path to perl, absolute path to site and path to your sendmail. If you don’t have that handy, get it from your provider.
