i'm looking for the php equivalent to formail. a form to email script that is flexible enough to allow data to a txt file, and keep the recipient email addresses off the form page.

in the past, with help from lots of generous people i've cobbled together a script. my problem is i'm not a programmer, and frequently my hosting company makes config changes (in the name of security) which breaks my script.

i'm quite happy to pay for a script that is kept up to date by the creators(sort of like formail is).

it seems to be a never ending effort to stay ahead of the spotty anoraks who enjoy sending spam through new and inventive means, and i don't have the ability to do it.

unfortunately i've been here many times before, and the spam/security problem seems to get worse every year.

You could always make a table in an MySQL db, have the form coded in PHP that auto inserts the data into the table and upon completion redirects to a "Thank You" or "Success -- message sent" page that will auto-email you whenever a new contact message has been sent to you.

I do the same thing with our order forms. Client places an order, the form inserts into the db table and then upon completion redirects user to "Thank You" page which auto-sends them a receipt for their order and sends me a copy too.

It was really simple to set up and do. Took me less than 5 mins to write it. :)
