Secure Contact Form Generator

[bizweb]

Hi All,

I saw this topic was briefly discussed in October, but I can't find what I need. i am using a template to build my website, and the Contact Us form uses form tags. It was suggested to me that I use a CFG to process the form. My question is - am I supposed to delete the current programming between the Form tags? Where /how do I insert the CFG? It seems that the CFG is replacing the Form content, rather than creating a method to email the form info to me.

Please advise.

Thanks. BW

Welcome to the HostICan Forum!

Are you referring to: http://forum.hostican.com/php-mysql-...generator.html ?

That should work, if you want it to be secure, you can always do https://yoursite.com/contact/ <-- could be another way around it.

Yes, I am referring to that link. There seemed to be a question of whether it was secure.

I am unclear how to make the https://mysite.com/contact us page.

I was asking if the newly generated code should replace the Form tags I have on the web page. All of the fields are there, the pages already have the buttons, I just need to know what to do to send the form to my email address and avoid spam.

Yea, that should be fine. It's kind of hard to say secure or not, I mean its just a contact form, we've had lots of folks use it, and not heard anything bad about it... so I would think that its ok.

Normally a PHP script wont show your email address in the source as its a server side lang and that should work fine for you. I don't see any reasons why it wouldn't. So you should be fine with it.
