good, free, form-submitter service?
Hey yall,
I'd like to add a form to my site for submitting comments, feedback, etc., but I don't know anything about scripting or php, and I don't want to start learning by experimenting in a production environment. So I've decided on using a free service until my learning catches up.
Was wondering if anyone has used a good site with fair flexibility with forms, and will allow unlimited forms?

Or, if you aren't looking for a guestbook, try going to http://hotscripts.com.

Ask your hosting company, they may have a free form handling script for you to utilise.

No, I'm not looking for a guestbook - I need something for visitors to communicate with me, but without me giving out an email address. So that's why I want to put together a form on my site, but I can't use scripts b/c I don't know anything about them.
That's why I'm interested in sites offering a form service, where I can create a form on their website, and then copy the code into my site. And when a visitor fills out the form and submits it, it gets sent to the form company who then sends it to me.
I know it's really low-tech, but for now it's my only alternative.

Again, if you look around at http://hotscripts.com you'll find tons of simple form submission scripts.
The advantage of having one on your site is that it is sent straight to you, not to a form company first.

But the thing is, I can't use scripts. I don't know anything about php/cgi etc., so I don't feel comfortable experimenting with it on a production site. I'm especially concerned with the security aspect of allowing scripting, and the script being hijacked for spam.

Youre looking for a remotely hosted e-mail forwarder service right? All I can suggest is for you to apply a disposable e-mail address, use it as a target for your php form e-mail submitter, (dont worry coz you can copy the whole code and paste it on your server and save it as *.php) it will automatically run once you edit one single info, your e-mail address. Also you can use I guess javascript here too. Or I can make one for you, put it on my site, you can link to it through it on your site, ill forward mails to you. In which case its the same idea here...

Have you contacted the hosting company? They may provide a code which is already in place on their server and they can then tell you how to code the form page.

thesitewizard.com provides free php form submitter, all you have to do is enter your email address into the code using an editor. I use it on my sites in my sig line so look there for an example. Easy to set up, no ads.
