Any advice appreciated.
First of all you need to find a way to pass the information to the page where the contact form is located. The way I would do this would be to create a hyper-link to your new page as follows:
http://yourwebsite/form_page.php?message=*your text here*
You can then use the PHP variable $_GET['message'] to retrieve this information from the address bar.
Lets assume that your form is using a Textarea where you wish the customer to type in their information. You could write the Textarea as follows:
<textarea name = "message"><?php echo $_GET['message']; ?></textarea>
This would print the message in the Textarea as soon as the viewer loads the page.
I hope this makes sense, if not you may wish to read up a little bit about PHP before proceeding.

Thanks motomotomd
I guess I've got some reading up on PHP to do then :)
Any suggestions for "a quick idiots guide to PHP" to get me started? Ideally I wanted to pluck a "message" from within the page with multiple choices rather than a single message from the address bar.
Alternatively is this the type of thing that the "Freeola assisted design" scheme could do for me?
Thanks again
Both these sites have a lot of good information which will be quite helpful.
On the assisted design front, yes I'd imagine it's something we could do for you. For us to get a better idea of the work you'd be wanting us to do it's probably better for you to Make an Enquiry and we can get back to you.
