So I'm looking to have a form on my website where people can fill in their name, email address, and a message and click a send button and have an email sent to me without disclosing my email address.
Anyone know how to do this? Can it be done with just html? Or is this something that needs java or some other script language?
Please help me out here! I really would like to not have my email hanging out on my website, but part of the reason I have the site is so people can contact me through it. Just trying to avoid the spam!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

I tried this out...but with no luck. Ofcourse...once I save it as a php document, then what do I do with it?? My html editor doesn't recognize php I suppose? And I definitely don't know php myself...so could you give me some more info please?
Thanks!You can use any HTML editor I think. I use notepad, wordpad can also be used as well as lots of other programs. At frist this program may not recognise it so use the "open with..." option and set notepad as the default application. If the code is all messed up it means that it was created in WordPad so you will need to use this to edit a php file.
I've PM'ed you.
So I'm still looking for a way to do this.
If you give me code that works...please explain how to implement it as well. If it's just html, I can figure it out...but when it comes to php or javascript, I don't know either of those...so I don't know how to implement them either. Anyone? Anyone at all?
Thanks

If you need something to send you raw data, excluding files, use the following form opening tag:
| Code: |
| <form action="mailto:you@yourplace.com" enctype="text/plain" method="post"> |
Then, for all your textareas, add the following attribute:
For example:
| Code: |
| <textarea name="name" cols="60" rows="4" wrap="hard"></textarea> |
And I'm sorry my form script above didn't help you 
. It worked just fine for the other person. What happens with it that doesn't work? Does it make error warnings, or do you just not get the email?
EDIT: If you prefer a cleaner looking email, I can make you a custom form handling script, one with the form itself being a seperate HTML page. Real easy, just let me know

Bladesage - I'm sure your script works just fine...I'm just an idiot and don't know how to use php. I was looking for a form that I could put into an html page where someone could type an email in the form boxes and click send and I'd get it sent to me without them knowing my email address. Wumingsden helped me out. I didn't know how php worked, so I didn't know how to use your script. But I've got it all figured out now.
Thanks again for your help!Oh wait, there's a flaw in my script! That's what they were trying to tell me! I'm glad everything worked out for you.
Okay, sorry people!
In case anyone here is still interested, here's my revised code

$name = $_POST['name'];
$msg = "This is a response from one of your visitors.\n\n";

$message = $_POST['message'];
$msg .= "Message:\n$message";
