I'm assuming you already know HTML. You need to check out tutorials on PHP.

yah i know html but i think what my main problem currently is is that i can not find a web hosting site that:

- free
- totally ad free
- allows php
- allows mail/sendmail commands

All the free hosts I know don't allow sendmail, for obvious reasons (i.e. spammers abusing it).

But [url=http://www.awardspace.com/]AwardSpace[/url] is a free webhost that is ad-free and supports PHP. Best free host I've used so far.

ok so i made an account on that site its pretty nice so far so i got this little email script to test the php

Code:

<html>
<body>

<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
  {
  //send email
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; 
  $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
  mail( "MYEMAIL@BLABLA.COM", "Subject: $subject",
  $message, "From: $email" );
  echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
  }
else
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
  {
  echo "<form method='post' action='mailform.php'>
  Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br />
  Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br />
  Message:<br />
  <textarea name='message' rows='*5' cols='40'>
  </textarea><br />
  <input type='submit' />
  </form>";
  }
?>

</body>
</html>

Are you sure mail is not blocked on the host you are using?

**Rifts** · 01-30-2008, 12:22 PM

I'm using that site u said... So idk so if I just pay for a site like yahoo or this award one you said then will I be able to sendmail? Is sendmail just blocked on free webhosts? To solve this problem do i just need to pay?

**Moonbat** · 01-30-2008, 03:59 PM

I said that "All the free hosts I know don't allow sendmail", AwardSpace included. AwardSpace doesn't allow sendmail.

If you want to send mail, you will probably have to get paid hosting.
