Sending E-Mail Via The Web (FormMail / iFormMail)

FormMail is one of the most popular ways by which to send e-mail via the web. You can find the FormMail web page at http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml

Digital Indigo uses Indigo Form Mail (iFormMail). iFormMail offers most of the features of FormMail, plus extended features, and better security features. We recommend using iFormMail in replacement of all FormMail scripts.

To use iFormMail, create a form similar to the one displayed below. Text in italics indicates information you will want to customize to your particular needs. If you need help with advanced forms and data processing, please contact Digital Indigo for a solution customized to your specific application.

<form action="/sys-php/iformmail.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="email@yourdomain.com">
<input type="hidden" name="required" value="first,last,message">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://some.host.com">
Email Address: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
