Feather Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 I wasn't sure if this is where I need to ask this question or not, but it didn't really seem to fit in anywhere. Anyway, here's the result I am looking for: whenever a person fills out a form on the site, I have it set up with required tags for record keeping on my end, ie name, address, etc.. Is there any way to change the way the email that comes to me looks other than the default? I looked at the htaccess info thinking that might be something to do with it but am not familiar with it enough to know exactly what it is capable of or even if it is what I need to be concerned with. I also am wanting to learn how to make the completed form page be emailed to me and then move to a webpage with the completed information on it for them to print out but don't know how to do that either. I have tried various methods and it's like I'm missing one little thing to prevent it from working right. Anyway, the page is located here: ATCM to see the code used. Any and all help is most definitely appreciated! Feather Quote
phatfunkjazz Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Hi Feather, There is a good web site that has many, many free and commercial scripts that you can use on your own site. They just require that you configure them to work with your server settings. Anyway, the site is called HotScripts, it's updated most every day. You might try browsing through the CGI/Perl and PHP scripts. Here are the URL's: CGI and Perl Form_Processors PHP Form Processors Spend some time, you'll most likely come across a few options. 99% of the scripts I've ever used on my web sites have come from HotScripts. peace, Stefan Quote
jpickeri Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 You can of course write a form in perl and run it under cgi. Look at my page at jSNMP Enterprise Download. This page was created with perl and is run under cgi. If this is what you want I'll send you my script. Drop me an email. My email address is on our contact page. You will of course have to hack it up to fit your situation. jim Quote
jpickeri Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Forgot to mention what the cgi script does. After the user fills out the form, it sends them an email with the product download instructions. It also sends me an email with the form information they filled in plus the IP address they connected on. jim Quote
