FormMail is a powerful PHP script that we provide free for anyone to use. Our latest version is 8.24 (released 6-Sep-2010).

FormMail provides the logic required to accept form submissions on your website and email the results to you (and do other things too!).

There are many terms used to describe forms processing scripts, but they all mean the same thing:

The difference with Tectite FormMail, is:

You may already be familiar with another form processor. If so, you can view the special features of our FormMail below or just skip this page and jump to the low-cost FormMail Configuration Wizard or Do-It-Yourself with a free download.

You can use our PHP forms processor as a simple replacement of another form processing script, or you can use its powerful and unique features to make your HTML forms even more useful.

Our form processing script allows your HTML forms to (all these features are optional):

• send you their results by email (supports any number of email recipients)
• store their results in a CSV (comma separated values) database on your server
• create a log file entry of activity on your server
• use obfuscated email addresses to prevent SpamBots from harvesting your email addresses
• reject spam; FormMail blocks spam through automatic attack detection tests as well as optional image verification (CAPTCHA) features. Tectite's form processor is a complete anti-spam solution.
• encrypt their results before they are emailed to you (ideal for securely collecting credit card data)
• redirect to a specific URL on success (e.g. allow a user to download software after filling in a form)
• redirect to a specific URL on failure (customized error page)
• alert you of failures
• work as simple email gateways - just create a form with one non-special field (usually a textarea field) and formmail.php will format the email appropriately
• use GET or POST methods for form submission
• format the emails containing your form results
• send HTML emails formatted with your form results
• upload files
• perform advanced field validations
• perform advanced error handling
• send an autoresponse to the person submitting your form
• support for other human languages (internationalization)
• GeoIP support
• and more....
