I am wanting to install a form on one of our websites with an autoresponder linked to it sending the information requested back to the enquirer.
The autoresponder needs to be able to collect the addresses entered and to send an email to the address provided in the form with information for the enquirer.

I am not sure what you are running and need help. In the past I have used CGI for the autoresponder but it has been some time since I built a website and technology has moved on. My knowledge, such as it is, may well have been superceded.

I see now that PHP may well be an alternative way to acheive the same result.
Could someone help me please?
 
This probably has nothing to do with DA, but you can do this with PHP. Create the form, send it to a script for processing and use the built in mail function. It can take variables and spit back anything to the submitter.
 
Why not DA?

I'm sorry? Why do you say.."This probably has nothing to do with DA".
We have a considerable number of sites hosted here.
Yes, I have become aware that PHP may well do this. I was looking for some help with the coding as I have only built using HTML and am not at all familiar with PHP.
Thanks for responding anyway.
 
I wrote that because DA is the hosting panel. You know you are on a support forum for the hosting panel software right? It has nothing to do with your website or how you code a PHP autoresponder.
 
Actually no....I didn't know

It says this is where to find how to guides...I thought this would be the appropriate place to ask. Sorry if it's not.
 
It's a how-to section for the DirectAdmin (DA) hosting panel.

Head to php.net and look up the mail() function. There's a big resource there for what you intend to do.

No you do not. Your sites are hosted at a hosting company that uses the DirectAdmin control panel. Your sites are not hosted "here."

You can use any number of languages to accomplish what you want.
