e-mail Options

[Smarmosaur]

i know there are already topics about e-mail forms and such, but i'm totally lost.

i don't want to use one of those automatic ones that generate the code for you. they all either take you to a "confirmation page" from the website (unprofessional, IMO), or bring up the microsoft outlook thing to send it.

so, my last resort is php, right? if not, let me know.
but, searching around for a few weeks for tutorials and how it works, how to use it/install it, i'm lost. just, lost.

generally, i need to know how to create a simple e-mail form for my website, and how to upload it and such. any help is appreciated, whether it's links or personal help.
