I have been searching the net recently and found a couple of
websites which provide the opportunity to use a program on their server to evaluate and process html forms.
I have recently used one and it has been very effective. The user fills in a form on my website, the form is sent to this service provider's server where it is processed and is then sent to my email address. The user is sent to a confirmation page. So this is all free and reliable.
Which is all fine and dandy, but does anyone know of a similar service, which also incorporates an auto responder feature. i.e. when the user enters their email in the form, and then submit, an email response is then sent to their email?
Hope someone can help

As for a free service, I don't know of one. I'm sure they exist, but you'll have to research it yourself.
I've now found what I am looking for - www.whiz-mail.cc.
To go with your suggestion, the form which is sent to me would have to be from the senders email address and not the service provider. There are services around the web with either option.

- Visitor submits the form
- Form is sent to a processing page on another website you manage
- You can process it however you want (send to db, auto respond, email, ...)
- They will sent back to the original website with their confirmation page (you can even personalize it)
I think this way it is much more flexible and reliable.

You can make a PHP page on the other website an call it processform.php and put it on the other website (www.otherwebsite.com)
You can set your original form like: <form action="http://www.otherwebsite.com/processform.php ...>
In processform.php you can do whatever you need and redirect them to the original website.
