CGI EMail
CGI EMail is a simple, easy-to-use script that takes the results
of any form and sends them to you via e-mail. Because it is already
installed, minimal configuration is required to successfully use the
script.
The following steps provide quick summarized instructions for CGI
EMail. Be sure to read the
CGI
user guide for detailed instructions on using CGI EMail.
To configure CGI EMail:
-
Create an HTML form with a number of named input fields. Refer
to
this
page for more detailed information of the action component
of the form.
-
Create an e-mail template (a .txt file) that displays the format
in which you want your form information displayed in the e-mail.
Make sure all your form name codes are one word and in square
brackets [].
-
Upload the .txt and form files to your site.
-
Go to your cgi-bin directory and change the
file permissions on cgiecho and cgie-mail to 755.
-
Test the script. The cgiecho script is designed for testing
online, so you do not have to wait for e-mail to be sent or received.
