Alternatives to NateMail because Web host doesn't Support .PHP

I am trying to make a Form work and I only have instructions on how to make the form work with NateMail .PHP. So I set up the form with the .PHP only to find out my web hosting company doesn't support .PHP.

They do support .perl and .ssi and .asp but I have no clue how or if I can set up a form using these. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

There are only two ways to process form data -

1. Use mailto:name@example.com as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c) formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d) redirect the visitor
to some ending page

Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and* send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.

Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the problems of
method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).

Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing, like
http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.

You would have to decide which of these methods is best for your needs,
but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what they provide for
form
processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions carefully.
