Default How to send me a picture through form?

I am about to start a new page on my site for people to send in their wacky pictures of their pets.

Is there a way for them to send me the picture through a form? Perhaps have a place where you you click "Browse" and then go through your PC and find the image file name so that it is sent to my email?

Hope it's explainable!

Default Pictures via E-mail

I have been using Outlook Express as my e-mail interface. When I send a picture, I no longer 'Insert Attachment'. Instead I just open the picture and do a Ctrl-C for copy then paste it in the message. This works very well and is very easy to retrieve.

You could leave that as a simple instruction for the people who will send pics.

Hi,

As StuW said, sending attachments with an e-mail (scan for viruses before opening) is the easiest way. Other than this you will need a form designed to accept attachments, and have the settings in the form set properly for your server and the form. One place I found, that is about the cheapest, is http://www.email-form.com/. There are others out there that cost more, and some that may cost less.

Have Fun,
Jeff
