Need help with internal form mailer

need a way to submit forms internally without accessing a third party

[zolat1]

First let me say that I know nothing about CGI scripts. I was told that you needed one in order to internally submit a form. Basically what I am wanting to do is to have an internal form to request catalogs, send feedback; etc. without using the mailto: option in the link. I have found a temporary substitution for the time being, a free (up to 50 submissions per month) form mailer. But unfortunately we will exceding the quota allowed I am sure. So with that said, any suggestions for someone that doesnt know CGI scripting or what exactally is needed to make it work without accessing a third party to do it for me?

Have you asked your hosting provider? Many hosts have scripts that they are comfortable with, available for you to use. In any case, they should be able to recommend something. If they don't maybe you could find a host that has better customer support.

If you're looking for a script, try to find a simple PHP mailer. I find them easier to use than Perl/CGI stuff. Actually my host said he'd "cut off my toes" if I installed a "Perl thing" on his system. :D

Anyway, you just put them in the same directory as the form (or whatever, I put everything in root) and set:

<form action="path/file.php" method="post">

No biggie.

No I haven't asked them, but will do. I appreciate your time and info.

Thanks again.

I have found that SCForm works very well for forms.
