TCH-Thomas Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 First of all, Welcome to your extended family Sorry, I dont know the answer to this but I move it for better exposure. Quote
TCH-Don Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Welcome to the Family and your new home! I know you said you do not watnt to use php but it is more secure than cgi. If you are willing to look at just one very easy to use with your form Dodsmail you just edit the e-mail address in the script and point your form to it just like cgi. We really are like family here. So if you need anything, just ask your new family! We love to help Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Welcome to the family. The PHP or CGI is just the backend to process you form. You still need to create a form. Using any of the email scripts whether they be PHP or CGI would work. You could even write your own form handlers in Perl to handle just one form. All the scripts on my companies site serve only one form. Quote
chirorelief Posted November 24, 2004 Author Posted November 24, 2004 Thank you very kind... I guess I wanted to stay away from .php because I have the page designed in HTML and I didnt want to use a .php ext since the page is already created. I will take a try at it though and let you know how it worked. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 You call your script to process using an action. The page can be HTML, HTM, PHP what ever. When you create the form in your page the declaration looks like this: ... your input fields ... The above example is using a Perl script. It could have been .cgi or .php just as easily. Quote
TCH-Don Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Yes only the form script is in php and your page with the form on it can still be in html The one I linked to scans for all the form vars just like cgi so you just call it in the action statement. Quote
chirorelief Posted November 27, 2004 Author Posted November 27, 2004 You guys are great! Worked perfectly with minimal mods. I can see this is going to be a great relationship here!!!! Chris Quote
TCH-Don Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 Glad you are happy Chris, don't be a stranger, you are family now Quote
