I've heard something about that you should use a cgi server but I've never gotten any good answer on how to do it so plz help me...

just fount a very simplistic form on my hosting account. You can see it at www.mezmorizing.net/test/contact/contact.php
*note - I have not tried the code, so held no responsibility as to what might happen.
*also note - name the file *some_name*.php

Here's the code (change the parts that it tells you to):

Code:

<?php

$to = "you@yoursite.com"; //Change to your e-mail address
$subject = "Feedback"; //Change to the subject of the emails you will get

if(isset($_POST['message']))
 {
 $msg = $_POST['message'];
 $email = $_POST['email'];
 $name = $_POST['name'];
 mail($to, $subject, $msg);
 }

$thisdoc = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

?>

if(!isset($_POST['message']))
 {
 print "<form action=\"$thisdoc\" method=\"post\">\n\n";
 print "Your name:<br />\n";
 print "<input type=\"text\" size=\"60\" name=\"name\"><br /><br />";
 print "Your e-mail address:<br />\n";
 print "<input type=\"text\" size=\"60\" name=\"email\"><br /><br />";
 print "Your message:<br />\n";
 print "<textarea name=\"message\" cols=\"60\" rows=\"4\">";
 print "</textarea><br /><br />";
 print "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send!\">";
 }

else if(isset($_POST['message']))
 {
 print "Thank you for your input!<br /><br />";
 print "Your message will be recieved shortly";
 }

?>

</body>
</html>

mmm. If you could get access to coldfusion, it's fairly easy. But that php example doesn't look bad at all either Razz
