Everyone knows I guess, but I sure don't! is it the 'mailto:' as the action bringing it up, can I get rid of it and add something else? wacko.gif I'm very confused with all these help sites so please don't tell me to go to one, unless I basically copy and paste it onto my site, and change the fields, etc. but no long tutorials!!! I'm already confused over 2 sentences laugh.gif !

Bracey Welcome to Zymic,
I'm a little unsure what you're talking about, can you please specify?

If you're trying to use any time of email, Zymic does not allow email on there server, although you can pay Jack $10 to turn PHP mail on.

Sadly braceyboi, there is no easy way to do this. HTML and the <form> tag itself isn't capable of sending an email, so it tells the computer to load up the default mail client (outlook etc). The only way around this is to write a server side script to process the form, which is the common reason for people learning php.

You might be able to find a copy and paste tutorial, but most require you to learn what your doing. I'm afraid there probably isn't anyone who wants to do it for you, so it might be wise you learnt.

What his problem is, is when he submits the form it's opening outlook or something similar on his computer to mail the form. He should be using the php function mail() (which is disabled on all free accounts.)

So when you have a free account you can't use php script to send email? Why is that? Isn't there any solution to that problem?

We can't have it enabled as it would be used for spam purposes. We do however turn it on for a fixed $10 one-off-charge, pop onto live chat and we can give you further instructions.
