Have i got this right.
Php pages are stored in the htdocs folder.
Must end with the sufix php instead of htm (html).
.
If i have got this correct is it possible to set up a form mail script using php if so where can i get the script examples to use or just work from.
Thanx

My site at www.xeroxcorp.co.uk uses a script that allows anyone to be anyone and send to anyone. Try it - but be carefull. Inappropriate use is not my problem (e.g. sellers of baseball bats don't get sued by people who got their shop broke into). I'm working on a version that includes uploads, but it's even more dangerous because potentially you could send an e-mail from one member of staff of a company to another with inappropriate material in it. It would be impossible to say who actually sent it and the accused sender would be deep in the murkey unless they really knew the web backwards.
I'll be doing some e-mail stuff shortly, but as I say (below) there's no guarantee it'll work because it's impossible to say what's been switched off.
On the up-side, you can still upload straight through company Firewalls!
One of the problems with PHP is not PHP but the way it's been implemented. Many features have been stoned because of security issues. In my PHP book it start of with the installation of mySQL (not supported by freeola by they say they may do in future at a charge). PHP is hard to do on Freeola not because it's hard, but because you can only tell what's possible if you manage to get it working. What's been disabled hasn't been documented. For example as part of support Freeola offers a link to "the manual for PHP". In the manual it says:
What can PHP do?
Perhaps the strongest and most significant feature in PHP is its support for a wide range of databases. Writing a database-enabled web page is incredibly simple. The following databases are currently supported:
