in modern browsers the malto code no longer is effective due to being phased out, now u realy need a form handler, hes my tut on how to make one usering php if its useful http://habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=26889

Lemmings, if you knew all that, then how come a few threads ago was ur first ever temaplte

[splintercell!]

more or less. You create a file named location.php and then fill in the areas you need to. The tutorial explains it.

Okay so does anyone know any free hosts that support php just so i can do a trial run of it, ill eventually pay for one but im just in the testing stage.

[JoeComins]

I don't kno any off the top off my head hat do free hosting and are able to set the aaccount up straight aay but if I find one ill tell you [I'm on about CPanel by the ay]

[splintercell!]

do you have an ftp client meme??

[24]

o God i have no idea what ur talking about lol. Is there any other way of creating a form without using php. Ive only just leanred html nm php. * Gets confused *

[splintercell!]

cgi, asp :) but you still need a host for them. you should look into buying one.

[24]

omg im so confused :S I am eventually going to buy one but i want to test it first b4 i do. Anyone know where i can find a CGI tutorial??

[Mentor]

Cgi isnt actly a langwage its a thing u can do, perls the most common one to utalize it "/

Id go for php Far Far easer and far better Imo

[splintercell!]

Yes I wouldnt really bother with the other languages your better off with php I was just giving you an example. But they are all the same as php to host them you really need a paid host. Although dj-collins is giving some php hosting away but hes abit mad so I wouldnt he trashes people sites he hosts.

[24]

okay lmao, ive signed up for a free host which supports php but i cant acsess it until tomorrow so ill have a go then. Wish me luck lmao. Theres omething else aswell erm you now for images there .gif well there reali poor quality is there any way of making them better quality?

[Mentor]

u realy need a good graphics program, as paint saves imgaes craply, say photoshop can save it realy well "/ gimp is a free program u could use "/

[24]

What about PaintShop Pro?!?

[splintercell!]

Im using a trial of that at the moment its quite good reall if you want to make images .gif from paint save them as .bmp open up Microsoft Picture It and open the image and save it in .gif format. It dosent effect the quality :p

[Mentor]

yep that would do it, but costs unlike gimp

[24]

Lol yeh im thinking of looking for a cheap version on ebay though lol :p

[splintercell!]

you can get some good free ones but no where near as good as programmes like Photoshop and PSP

[JoeComins]

PhotoShop is really good.

People download the trials and enter ***** serials to get it for like - I'm now stuck with the GIMP and Paint and FrontPage. Unlike the dreamweaver, firewroks and photoshop that run out :@

[Mentor]

id personly say Gimps far better than psp "/ (i use Alot of open sorce stuff "/ )

[JoeComins]

I dont recon it's better than PhotoShop, but then I'm not use to GIMP

I love that word - GIMP

[24]

One last thing, can anyone recommened a reali decent host that you pay for that is well known and preety damn good lol.
