I am new to Umbraco and HTML coding (please forgive me if this is a stupid question):
I am building a form (not using Umbraco forms) and I'd like the 'submit' button to email the form's contents to myself as well as then display another page saying "Your request has been received".
Now, I've correctly built this in Dreamweaver, and I have the form live in Umbraco as a Doc Type/Stylesheet; what do I need to build in Umbraco to get the php to email correctly/confirmation page to display?
Thanks for the response. I have quite an interesting situation; I do not have access to anything about my website other than the Umbraco back office - someone else has the hosting information/files.
Is there a way to simply build the form using the back office? Or do I need access to the Visual Studio?
To make a custom forms you'll need access to Visual Studio and the server files. If that is not possible you could look into Umbraco Forms: http://umbraco.com/forms
Also, Umbraco is a .NET CMS, and does not support php as far as I know.

Hi Katelynne and welcome to our.
If you have access to Umbraco TV, you should see this video chapter about surface controllers. In these videos we build a contact form with all the needs that you are asking for. http://umbraco.tv/videos/developer/fundamentals/surface-controllers
If you don´t have full access to the Umbraco TV I would recommed you to signup. You can see the different plans here: http://umbraco.tv/plans-signup/
Hope this helps,

Hi Katelynne,
Here is some videos about how Umbraco Forms works, and how you install it and configure it.
