Emailing a form

Hi,

I have a form that has reservations dates. I want a user to fill the dates in
from a drop down menu and the select email button. This then emails he dates
entered by the users to a set email address. I have completed the dates fields
but am unsure how to capture that data and get it emailed.

Does anyone know where or how I can do tis or if the code is already avaiable?

Thanks in Advance

There's number of ways, depending on the server technology, etc
Search for email extensions on the MM site.

first thing to check: Your host.
What do their FAQ/Support pages say about forms?
Do you have a "Control Panel" or CPanel?
Does it have anything about scripts?

If no info above about a pre-installed form script- What server side
scripting can you use on this host? php? asp? ??


http://kaosweaver.com has a free dw extension, mail something or other; It
will insert server side code for the form to be sent. It uses your choice of
asp, php, or ColdFusion. Very easy and quickly.

If you can use php, a script with more options, that installs fairly easily:
http://boaddrink.com -->link to phpformmail

Server runs most of the common ASP mail server side extensions.

I need to do this in asp. Not interested in the extension that calls email
client locally installed on users machine.

Have included the snippet of code that has the details in.
