Try this :

Code:

<form method="POST" action="mailto:enquiry@mycomapny.com">

Paste ur form data after this.

The method that Kl@w-24 has suggested could work, but will annoy the users simply because it will use their email client and also give them a warning :shock:

It is better to use CGI. cPanel has the form emailer installed by default in most cases. Just read the documentation. It will tell you how to do it. That is how I learnt it in the first place. If you somehow fail to understand, I will try to explain.

i am also looking for something like that tuxfan suggested... i'll have a look at the documentation again
