Tutorial: New Web Form (Script Hosted on Your Server)

You may prefer to host the script that sends a message whenever a visitor submits the web form on your own server. Please note that the web server needs to support PHP in order for the script to work.

First, perform all the steps in the previous tutorial: Tutorial: New Web Form (Script Hosted on Our Server)

PHP Script

You can download a flexible PHP I wrote for you:

Use the PHP Script

First, unzip the script and upload it to your web server to the same directory as the HTML form you created in the previous tutorial. Then open the form, and change the "action" attribute of the "form" HTML tag. You need to change it to point to the script on your web server instead of the one hosted by us.

For example, if the name of the script is submit.php, the "form" tag should be changed from:

<form method="get" action="http://www.FollowUpExpert.com/submit.php">

to:

<form method="get" action="submit.php">

That's it. Test the form, and see if it works.

Note: The script is simpler than the script hosted on our web server; it does not use CAPTCHA verification and so is not as secure.
