Email submit form?

[PyroSama]

How do I set up a form that will email me what people enter into it?

Do I have to set up a cgi-bin?

you need to have a form mail script and that would go into the cgi bin....... then the form would call the script from the html page and the script would mail your input to you.

if that makes any sense.

[PyroSama]

Yeah it does. Thanks.

Does any one know of a place that hosts such scripts for free?

Just make a cgi bin on clanimo.com .......... chmod it to 755 and chmod the script to 644 .......... run from there........... if clanimo is the site your refering too ??

Actualy it isnt.

Just curious couldnt I jump some one elses formail.pl?

Using one of your old clients as an example.

<table WIDTH="444" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0">
<form Method="post" ACTION="nemohomes.com/server-scripts/formmail/FormMail.pl"> 
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="pyrosama@msn.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="stuff">
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="thankyou.htm">

Because you manualy enter the email addy you wish to have the email sent to.

Could I set up the formail.pl at clanimo.com and just modify the script above and use it from my own site?

I doubt it.......... most servers are set up to refuse other incoming formmail requests. (or other cgie or script request for that matter) At the server level........ it has a .htacess file that has a

deny from all
allow (local server name)

all outside requests to use the form mail script would be denied.

if you are setting it up ......... you could of course put in the htacess file to allow from more than one domain, but I would specifiy it.....don't set it to allow all ..... otherwise you will have the spammers using your site to send spam. Bad bad bad idea

I just remembered a free site that alows you to send emails using forms through there site.

(I will have to find the stuff on it again though)
