double posting is not permitted
other one got deleted
no spamming in the forum or your account will get deleted
you have to write it using <form blahbla .... >
or somebody else's service.
you can't use php since the server doesn't support it.

Hello,
When i had to make a order form on my site i got a free script and uploaded it but it never worked. When i contact by web host they told me that they support only CDOsys and not CDONTS.

Now whts the difference between the two. And whts better in them. Since by web host dosent supports CDONTS do i need to change hosts?

CDONTS is old and microsoft stoped supporting CDOSYS.

So better to forget about CDONTS and use CDOSYS.

if your talking about just a simple contact email form using php this might help... copy/paste this in notepad and save it to your desktop as "contact.html" without the " " ... then open it up, go to view, source and change the fields to your needs.

<form name="form1" method="post" action="script.php">
  <table width="100%"  border="0" cellpadding="3">
    <tr>
      <td width="7%">name</td>
      <td width="93%"><input name="Name" type="text" id="Name"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>email</td>
      <td><input name="Email" type="text" id="Email"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>comments</td>
      <td><input name="Comments" type="text" id="Comments"></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  

  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

i just threw this together but its just a template to use... you might want to download dreamweaver and try that out, much more easy to design with.

listing script.php

<?php
$to= '[email protected]';
$subject= 'Hello';
$from= 'Me';
mail($to, $subject, $from);
?>

You may use your ISP's SMTP server. Also there are few sites that offer free email account with SMTP. You can find a list of email service with SMTP at
