What do you mean by an "order form"?

If it is just something which you need to send an order to an email address (i'm assuming yours) based on the information put in by the user of said form, and you have a .php hosting account with an email attached to your domain name then yes... i can help you.  PM me if that is the case. 

If not then i suggest you first get the email and then ask around based on the server side technology your host is using... .php .asp or whatever... i am only experienced with php.

hello Dianthus,

like inshaala, what technology are you using ? if it's php/mysql, i can help you too ;o)
Does the order send something by email ? or in the database ? Like a guestbook ?

need to know what you mean by order form? Do you mean something like a shopping cart -or- just a regular filler out thingy? p.s. I can hardly read the grey text on your websites.

Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...

I wish I knew what I was gonna say :oP

ok, so it's easy to do with php !

In the form page, in

change to

Write down the name of the fields... (messagefromwebsite, etc.)

next : create a text file with this in it and save it as post.php :

<?php
$messagefromwebsite = $HTTP_POST_VARS["messagefromwebsite"];
// for the message, do it for each field of the form !*

mail('dianthus@youremail.com','a mail from your website for you','$message','From: you@yoursite.xyz');
?>

Hope this help
Olivier
