Send form without using PHP or similar

Question

I need my HTML FORM with Bootstrap sent. The problem is that I don’t know anything about PHP. The functionality I need is sending a message to an email address. Only the data and a message the customer wants to send. It will not go to any BD nor will it be used in another form. A traditional contact page.

Is there any way I can send my FORM without using a dynamic language?

Answer 1

You can use the formspree.

No registration, no programming required back/front end. Just set some parameters in the form:

<form action="https://formspree.io/[email protected]" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="mensagem">
    <input type="submit">Enviar</button>
</form>

The value after https://formspree.io/ is the email to which the form information will be sent.

To project page on Github shows some advanced options parameters that can be included in the form, to customize how it will be submitted to the recipient.

An example containing a predefined title and an email (chosen by the user) to which a reply should be sent:

<form action='https://formspree.io/[email protected]' method='post'>

  <!-- Título/Assunto do Email. -->
  <input type='hidden' name='_subject' value='Contato de Cliente'>

  <!-- Email de Resposta. -->
  <input type='email' name='_replyto' placeholder='Email p/ contato'>

  <!-- Mensagem que será submetida. -->
  <textarea name='mensagem'></textarea>

  <button type='submit'>Enviar</button>
</form>

Answer 2

To send an email form with only some programming language. In PHP it is very simple, look for the mail function();

Follow an example:

   <?php

       $para = "[email protected]"; 

       $nome = $_POST['ID_CAMPO_HTML_NOME']; //valor digitado no campo Nome
       $assunto = $_POST['ID_CAMPO_HTML_ASSUNTO']; //valor digitado no campo Assunto
       $mensagem = "<strong>Nome: </strong>".$nome; 
       $mensagem .= "<br> <strong>Mensagem:  
       </strong>".$_POST['ID_CAMPO_HTML_MENSAGEM']; //valor digitado no campo Mensagem


    //CODIFICAÇÕES CORRETAS PARA O FORMATO DO E-MAIL
       $headers = "Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8\n";
       $headers .= "From: dominio.com.br<[email protected]>\n"; 
       $headers .= "X-Sender: <[email protected]>\n";
       $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion()."\n"; 
       $headers .= "X-IP: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\n";
       $headers .= "Return-Path: <[email protected]>\n"; 
       $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";

    mail($para, $assunto, $mensagem, $headers); 

    ?>

Use the "action" of the form, referencing to the PHP code

<form action="enviaEmail.php"> ...

Answer 3

First of all, every language is dynamic.

What you probably meant is "language that runs on the server side".

A simple way to resolve your issue is to use HTML "mailto".

Example:

<a href='mailto:[email protected]?subject=Assunto&body=conteúdo'>Enviar email</a>

Example with <form>

<FORM Action="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Assunto" METHOD="POST">
    mailto: protocol test:
    <br />Assunto 
    <INPUT name="Subject" value="Test Subject">
    <br  />Mensagem
    <TEXTAREA name="Body">
    lorem ipsum
    </TEXTAREA>
    <br />
    <INPUT type="submit" value="Submit"> 
</FORM>

Downside

User needs to have an email client installed and configured.

The vast majority of people don’t have it because they use Webmail or Messengers services like facebook messenger, twitter, Hotmail, yahoo, among others.

For Windows users, for example, the user will probably have Live Mail or Outlook Express on the screen, but without configuration. It will probably click to send and will be thinking that the message was actually sent. The same goes for any other operating systems.

Sending of forms services

Another way is to use third-party services. There are several services that provide a "action" URL for "<form>".
