Ask a Question

I am looking at creating a form and I understand the PHP and server side stuff that would be required.

I dont wanna get into all that.

I've tested sending an email using a text configured with email.

This brings up the email client on the user's PC.

Can I pass the results of the form to the email client ?

I get that it defeats the purpose of a free standing form, but I just dont wanna get into the headache of doing / maintaining PHP or other methods.

I expect the email client on the users PC to handle the sending would end up being maintenance free.

Thanks

Luc

How are you serving your pages? Most hosting solutions have PHP enabled by default.

I have a linode server that I manage on my own, just starting in , this web hosting. Over time I might develop PHP for the form, but I just wanna get this site up quickly, and learning mail server management and php will take me a bit to get figured out,

Hi,

Email sending is the server-side task. Nicepage provides PHP script for email sending. It is a standard PHP mail function. But email sending should be configured on the server. As a quick alternative we recommend that you try MailChimp option:
