CGI help

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: digitalfx

I don't know CGI at all. Can someone help me find a cgi script that will send an email. For example, when someone fills out a form. Basically what I am doing now. When they hit submit. I want it to send an e-mail to me. If I knew how i would just write it and of course I wouldn't be asking. You have an idea on what I am saying? Thanks alot.

Hmmm, are you using a free webhost? I know that majority of webhosting services already offer their own CGI mailform scripts available for use, and they even come with instructions on how to use them.

If by some reason your webhost doesn't offer its own mailform script (leave them, I say!), then a good place to start would be Matt's Script Archive. He wrote a very basic form script that has been used, modified and enhanced by thousands of other sites:

If you want a huge variety of choices, visit these two sites:

CGI Resource Index - Form Processing
HotScripts.Com - Form Processors

Hope this helps, and good luck

Nope, its not a free webhost place. I just registered and all that good stuff a few days ago. Thanks, I will take a look at what you posted.
