Website Form Not Sending Correctly

Okay, so I've been trying to set up a form on my site, that would allow people to submit three things:

Language, Phrase and Meaning

Example:

Language: Japanese
Phrase: Ohayo gozaimasu
Meaning: Good morning

Anyway, I've searched through these forums here, and ones that are off site, and tried to come up with some stuff... but whenever I find examples that I try, they aren't quite what I'm looking for, so I change things, to fit what I need, so that it looks right on my site, but then it doesn't send at all, or not correctly.

I could do it fine I think, if I knew what the address for the cgi-bin thing is, but after looking through these boards, I've seen a few different ones posted, but none of them worked when I tried them out for me. Is that because I need a special page added or something?

I also tried to set up a php thing, because I found tutorials for that sort of thing which didn't seem that hard, but I don't know php, so I got pretty lost pretty quickly.

So, the latest one I've attempted goes something like this (By this point, I thought the simpler the better):



Am I anywhere on the right track? Would that work if I had the right cgi-bin address (or whatever it is called?) And do I have to add an extra page to the cgi folder to handle the forms or not? Sorry, I've been trying to get this form to work for hours, and I was hoping that you'd be able to help me.

If you need any other information, just let me know, I tried to be thorough, so that you could see where I am messing up.

If you simply want the results of the form to be emaild to you then I think it would be easier to use PHP. Use this code for the form:



Then create a new file called sendmail.php and make sure it is in the same folder as the HTML form. Put this into the sendmail.php file using a text editor like notepad:



Try that and see if it does what you want it to. If not, or there are any errors then feel free to ask for help
