Web Form Email From Publisher

I developed a site using Publisher and I can't get the data from the form
emailed to me. I was told to enter this: ="gdform.php" method="post"> so the
form can be emailed to me but it doesn't work. My host says everything is
fine on their end. How is this command supposed to be written in Publisher?

Sounds like you are trying to use a host provided form program. You might
need to use the insert html code fragment tool, or perhaps this is relevant:

"If your host provides and supports a form program and you have the
technical know how to program it (or your host assists you). In the form
properties dialog for your form simply select the option to use "an ISP
Program" and then input the server path and name of the form program."

I would encourage you to try to get your host's form solution working. It
will probably be a better choice than FPSE forms. Go back to your host, and
look to their FAQs, or other customer support for better instructions.

That's a small part of the code. It goes inside a <form tag and it
should be action="gdform.php". Most PHP scripts need a little massaging
to make it work, such as changing some lines to your domain name. I'm
not familiar with this one, though. You also usually need a receipient
so the script knows who to mail the form to. Sometimes that goes in the
<form area, other times the PHP script deals with it, sometimes you need
another file.
