Greetings!

I have a simple HTML form with about two dozen fields. After the user is satisfied with the fields, I want to have the fields contents mail to me when they hit the submit button.

I don't want to use the action= "Mailto:" stuff for a variety of reasons. I understand that formmail adequately addresses all my concerns.

Does anybody have any advice for me regarding this stuff?

Thanks!

Ross

No language -- just HTML, with hidden fields. formmail.pl is in PERL

I think Jason was asking what kind of code you wanted to use because formmail comes in multiple flavors.

If you are on a Linux hostmysite server, you should be able to just drop the formmail.pl into the cgi-bin directory and just reference that from the form action in your html form. The most popular formmail script is probably the one at Matt's Script Archive http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html.

If you are on a Windows server, you could use ASPMail and there is code here http://www.hostmysite.com/support/programming/aspmail/.
