What to use to code a simple form

[tiska]

Hi,

I am a new web designer - from a print design background so forgive me for my very basic question :)

I know html and basic css. I need to create a very simple form which people will need to fill in in order to get to a downloadable page. Would this need to be in php?

I want 3 fields and to make sure people have filled them in. If yes the info is either passed to an xml file or mailed to a given email address (something that doesn't involve mysql if poss as I don't know it at all).

When the submit button is pressed and the fields are filled the user would be redirected to the downloads page.

I would be grateful if someone could let me know the best method to do this and, if I do my research, as a beginner I could manage it. Also if anyone know of any suitable tutorials I would also be very grateful.

Thanks in advance :)

Use Javascript to check the form done in html :D


or PHP is fine too
