    I need to make a kind of form but I never knew how...

    I made a game. At the end it asks your name and shows your score.

    but I don't know how to tell the movie to send those info on my email...I need someone to help me with the easiest way as possible (I just suck at HTML or codes like that). I just need the name and the score...that's all.

    Well thanks...

    Code:
    email = "person@domain.com"
name = user input
score = gamescore

getURL("mailto:"+email+"&body=name: "+name+" score:"+score)
    Summat like that... Otherwise your getting into PHP/Perl which you said you were bad at.

    erm, didnt you want that?

    Or do you want it to send name+score to your e-mail automatically without opening users mailing program (where of course they can change the score as they wish)? In this case you need server side script (PHP/cgi) to do the actual mailing job.

    Well, you need a server that supports PHP/Perl and then you need to send the variables to a page on that server using loadVariables /getURL

    The page should then know what to do with the variables it receives, ie. send them to your email address.. Im afraid your gonna need a half decent knowledge of one of these languages and a server which supports it (usually not free)
