Answer 2

you will have to create a server side program or use front page server extensions to do that. I usually use php for the server side script. then you will have your HTML form post the values to the server side script.

Answer 4

This is 9 years old. Ask them about a CGI script or you can use or PHP if they will let you. This is what I used. On a free site though you may ask to see what they have. They may have this already someplace.


-------------------- This is the cgi script----------------------


#!/usr/local/bin/perl4
push (@INC, '/cgi-bin');
require ('cgi-lib.pl');

# This should match the mail program on your system.
$mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

# This should be set to the username or alias that processes the
# requests


#------ Change 1 ----- Replace the login with your actual login name


$recipient = "you\@yourdomain.org";


# Print out a content-type for HTTP/1.0 compatibility
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

# Print a title and initial heading
print "";

&ReadParse;

#------ Change 2 ----- Replace the login with your actual login name

open (MAIL, "|$mailprog $recipient") || die "Unable to send request\nPlease send e-mail to you\@yourdomain.org, Thank you\n";
#open (MAIL, ">test") || die "Cannot open STDOUT: $!\n";
print MAIL "Reply-to: $in{'email'}\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Feedback Form\n";
print MAIL "\n\n";
#print "*$#in_key\n";
foreach $i (0 .. $#in_key){
#print "$in_key[$i] = $in_val[$i], i = $i
