How Can I send E-mails From My Website?

I cannot use PHP for that

[yanov]

My host has problems with the PHP and for now I cannot use PHP for sending e-mails. Can you offer something that can replace the PHP. Is there a function in html that sends e-mails?
Thank you,

Hi,

Do you want people to send emails from your website to you, or do you want to send email to yourself/others from your site?

You could use a mailto link, its crude but works, or you could use a FormMail script if your host allows it.

Well I want people to send mails to me. The final destination of all e-mails is me. But I think there is no difference whether it is only me or other. The difference is only one variable which will carry the string with the e-mail. Anyway could you please tell me more about these links and scripts.
Thank you,
Asen Yanov

You need to see what does work on your host and then go to hotscripts.com and find a form mail script for that type of server language - whether it be asp, perl, cold fusion, or other. If this doesn't work, you could find a friend webmaster who does have php up and running, and ask the friend if you can use a script on his server, or maybe upload one of your own - the script just has to redirect to a page on your site. Best if it's someone you know a bit so they trust you, and know you won't be doing goofy stuff with their script. In your form then, where it says "form action="formmail.php", you make the action be the full url to the script on your friend's server. Best also if there's some security measures so only you can use this function - however, there are lots of unprotected form mail scripts that are open to easy exploitation and spamming. For these security measures you'd do best posting questions on the forum of the particular technology you're using - php, asp, etc.

as mincklerstraat suggested go to hotscripts.com or scriptsearch.com there are plenty of programs in different langueges that you can use.

What about CDONTS? If your server is Microsoft, chances are the hosting company wll support that.
