Help with form processing please

2bu

I am working on a website for a client that will have several forms. I need to have the contents of the forms emailed to my client and a message displayed and/or emailed to the person who completes the form/s. I have a good knowledge of html and css but need to find a free good script to accomplish this. The site is hosted on a Linux server and I would like to use PHP if possible.

2 Questions:

1-Can you recommend a script?
2-How can I learn how to implement it?

Thank you-

Feel free to plagiarize -- I mean, re-use -- anything from this page.

Thanks for the response. I have checked my clients hosting company (GoD****) and they have a script that I think I can use called webmailformmailer.php
Have you ever heard of it? I think it should work fine. I am open to suggestions because I am very new to scripts.

Thanks-

I've not worked with it, but GoDaddy seems to have their act together enough that I'm sure it should be reasonably good and secure. As to whether it provides all the features/functionality you need, you'll probably need to answer that yourself.

The only thing to look out for would be if it's one of these things where you have to put the "to" email address into a hidden field in the HTML form itself, in which case you would be making that address accessible to spam-bots looking to harvest email addresses.

PS: One other thing, GoDaddy Windows servers do not provide support for the PHP mail() function, so if you're not using a Linux server account then my script above would need some significant modifications to get it to work.

Thanks for the tips.
The only hidden fields are for the subject line and a redirect to a thank you page so I think I am OK. The site is running on a Linux server.
Thank you again-
