How do i send Emails from a Submit button?

[Q_Me]

I think someone answered this question before, but anyway:

How do i send information such as inside TextBoxes, Passwords, selected combos, ect. over EMail?

[john tindell]

<form action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post">
<input type="text" name="stuff">
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="wow">
<input type="submit" value="send email" name="submit">
</form>

this will send it to your email address. the form data will be in an attachment.

btw. its send from the client

Then you need to send it server-side. Use PHP, perl or any other web-languages.

i can show you in PHP:

1 thing: make sure your server has enabled the PHP's mail command

1 page:

<form action="THESCRIPT.PHP" method="post">
<input type="text" name="subject">
<input type="text" name="message">
<input type="submit" value="send email" name="submit">
</form>

THESCRIPT.PHP:

$yourname = "Enter your or your site's name here in-between the quotes";
$sendemail = "Enter the email to send this to here in-between the quotes";

/***************************************
  **THAT'S IT DON'T TOUCH THE CODE BELOW**
***************************************/
$message = $message + "\n\nIP Address Of User: " + $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$mailstat = mail($sendemail, $subject, $message);
if ($mailstat == TRUE) {
     echo "<h2>Maill Sent!</h2>";
} else {
     echo "<h2>Maill Couldn't Be Sent.</h2>";
} 

As for other languages i wouldn't be able to help.
