TCH-Rick Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 What the heck.... TCH dosnt come with cgimail? Cause I dont have it!!! AHHHH! All servers have cgiemail installed. Please see this thread for information on how to use it. Quote
Guest zethilone Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! IT ISNT IN MY CGI BIN! And I am about to bite off my legs ahhHH!!! Quote
cmuskett Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 ewww.. that wouldn't be good. I'm sure someone can look into your account and find out where it went.. Quote
TCH-Rick Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 It's not supposed to be in your cgi-bin directory. Please read the thread I mentioned earlier and look at the format. It actually is pretty easy to use once you see the format of the ACTION code. Quote
Guest zethilone Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 thats odd it is NOWHERE!!!!! cgi-sys/cgiemail Quote
TCH-Rick Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Please read the thread I mentioned carefully. The /cgi-sys directory is not in your webspace, it is a systemwide directory that all can use. If you follow the directions in the thread it will work. Quote
Guest zethilone Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 ok I will try! I am kind of bussy right now Quote
Sarah Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Hey Zethilone, Are you still looking for a form processor? Quote
TCH-Don Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Hi sarah. Are you recomending one? I always like to look at forms, I might just find one I like better than PhormJr. Quote
Sarah Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 I needed some kind of script for forms on the site I'm working on now, so I began to look into CGI for form processing. But I wasn't familiar with all the syntax, and it was taking FOREVER to understand. I knew there was an easier way. So I ended up writing my own form processor in PHP. It basically uses one PHP file that uses a switch statement to control what form on the site was submitted. If Zethilone needed some help with a simple one, I would gladly write one for him. Quote
surefire Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 I'm surprised this topic is still alive and kicking. (Just grumpy this morning from too many sit-ups yesterday.) 1- There are approximately a bazillion form processors prewritten and moderately userful. 2- I wrote a script that anyone is welcome to user, borrow, alter, etc. It's pinned in the scripting forum under Ultimate Form Mail. I did my best to make it easy to use and configure. It does a lot of stuff other scripts don't. 3- CPanel has a formmail clone Quote
Sarah Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Thanks for the post, Surefire. I try to write my own too to gain experience for further development projects. (and to build up my resume to find a job!!!) Job prospects stink around here.. Quote
