cgi form to email

[sixf00t4]

I'm looking for a script that will let users fill out a form on a webpage and submit the details via email, but not have it prompt them at all, just return a pretty message that their email was sent. I looked on hotscripts and couldnt find anything free and simple. any tips?

If you have a webhost, they usually offer such scripts, usually in the control panel (such as cpanel or vdeck for example).

This is a fairly simple script. What language are you looking to do it in?

I was thinking it should be easy. I thought i used to have a cgi script that did a good job, but anything but asp should be alright.

$MailToAddress = "email@email.com"; // your email address
$redirectURL = "thankspage.html"; // the URL of the thank you page.

$MailSubject = "Information Request Form"; // the subject of the message you will receive
$MailToCC = "carbon@carbon.com"; // CC (carbon copy) also send the email to this address (leave empty if you don't use it)

$Message = "";
if (!is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS))

reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$GLOBALS[$key] = $val;

$Message .= "<b>$key:</b> ";
foreach ($val as $vala) {
$vala =stripslashes($vala);
$Message .= "$vala, ";
}
$Message .= "<br>";
}
else {
$val = stripslashes($val);
if (($key == "Submit") || ($key == "submit")) { }
else { if ($val == "") { $Message .= "$key: - <br>"; }
else { $Message .= "<b>$key:</b> $val<br>"; }
}
}
} // end while
$Message = "<font face=verdana size=2>".$Message;
mail( $MailToAddress, $MailSubject, $Message, "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\nFrom: ".$email."\r\nBCc: ".$MailToCC);
header("Location: ".$redirectURL);
?>

copy to notepad then save as .php

then on your form action "method="post" action="mailform.php">

Would he (the account) need to have execute permissions on the sendmail daemon (under linux/unix) or to a SMTP server (under Windows) for the mail function to work?

I'm asking 'cause I don't know....
