Is it necessary to use PHP in order to create an automated form for a web page?

Is there an easy way to set up an automated form on a web page that sends info to a specific email address after being filled out? I don't know much about php, but someone mentioned it as a possibility. I would like to create a form that gets filled out and sent to a server email address automatically. Preferably without having to lear开发者_如何学运维n anything besides html/css.

Thank you.

No you do not need PHP but you need some server code.

The most common one used to be FormMail for CGI. There is now a FormMail implementation for PHP as well.

Ask your web host what they support. They usually have examples as well.

Yes, there are a lot of tutorials out there.

Heck, they even have generators that will create the script for you.

If you want to code it yourself, php's mail() function is what you will probably use.

Good luck.
